Not I junior, you are somewhat confused. I don´t know what you are talking about re praised practices of authoritarian countries. Evidence would be helpful. otherwise your statement is pure BS, something you produce quite often.
Bwaaaaaa ha ha ha ! Freedom loving types ? Lefties are freedom loving types ?

Nope, and you never will, lefty loons of a feather stick together.
They beat the tar out of a Conservative journalist, an Asian, a Homosexual, and not one of the socialist dim bulbs condemned their pals for the attack. One with a background the dims say they champion, became a punching bag with the dims full approval, because he was a Conservative.
Yeah, freedom loving types. Stalin was one too.
