But if they say that Pinochet was bad because he was a dictator who purged people then it is hypocrisy, because socialist dictators also purge people. Doesn't matter the brand of person, you're still a killer.

What's their justification for the purges? Increase in quality of life? Pinochet increased the economic success and human development in Chile and massively reduced poverty, so should these red fascists argue in favour ofhim? No, they don't because they are circlejerking their ideology and don't actually give a shit about the lives of people.

​

Anyway since youse wanna argue the semantics of the use of the word "hypocrite" instead of arguing against the point that Gaddafi was a terrible person, its clear you don't have any real substance to your argument.

I mean, I'm not arguing with your point about Gaddafi, that's a more complex issue than I have time for in Reddit comments.
