That is faulty logic. A dog is a mammal, but a mammal is not necessarily a dog.

Mao and Pol Pot took people backward.

Dictators just want power and riches. There is no logic to them.

Liberal is not even a political thing, it is a state of mind. As mentioned, Stewart, Colbert and Maher are all liberals.

<<Neither, dictators just do what they want. But none of them areliberals that is for sure.

koan, according to your own prior arguments, those dictators must have been liberals. After all, they initially got power by revolution. Since conservatives want to avoid change and preserve the status quo, no conservative would ever participate in, let alone lead a revolution. On the other hand, liberals are for change and progress, which is exactly what all revolutionaries promise. Therefore the dictators must have been liberals. You have proven it in previous arguments.
