functionally equivalent Of course not... how could they be.. Their agendas are different ... and of course Hitler Stalin and Mao used some particularly nasty methods.. (I wonder though how well things would have been under Chiang had he won, kinda like a Chinese Batista vis a vis the US.. old timers in my family on the Chinese branch exalted Chiang and Sun, and hated Mao and the Japanese pretty much the same)

functionally equivalent DOES NOT mean nothing in common though does it..

but they all do what is necessary that they can get away with to advance the agenda including outright lies..

Funny you mention Kennedy and Castro though.. much to read there, gangsters, good dictators bad dictators, CIA , invading sovereign nations.. wow.. exciting times.. :O)

I remember exactly where I was when Kennedy was assassinated. I was sitting in class in grade 3. I was seven years old and the Mother Superior came in (Chinese Catholic Mission School in Montreal Chinatown) and spoke to our teacher. Our teacher explained what happened and I think we prayed for an hour... was a long time.. The nuns were really upset.. I was too young to really understand... but the moment stuck

Churchill ? great wartime leader in WWII.. no doubt. He did want us Canucks to kick in for Britain's navy (pre WWI) though with no operational say... kinda thing that makes one want to toss tea overboard.. and who ended up doing much of the heavy lifting to boot in WWI.

We both see the evil CB.. but in some cases you see heroes and I see men.
