McArthur-Freeport in Indonesia and Gulf Oil in Nigeria are two examples of corporations which had a direct hand in the deployment of soldiers against poor workers; massacres followed.
: No, comrade, I'm NOT forgetting that at all---hell, I still believe in Lenin's imperialism thesis.
: Doc, on the other hand supports a 'Reaganesque foreign policy', so he'll just cheer when he reads your post. . .
