An autocrat and a dictator are the same thing.  Both rule by force and nothing else.

And the will of the people. He was elected several times, don't forget.

Yeah that is why I eventually found the Putin comparison pretty convincing.  It is the new way of doing things.

I think a quote from Baroness Margaret Thatcher, Protector of Western Civilization, Savior of the British Realm, is very appropriate for this thread:  "Socialism is a great system until you run out of other people's money."

Venezuela could be reaching that point.

That's not a direct quotation. :P

Both statements are true.

You are joking, but the UK economy actually is in a pretty bad shape.
clearly the fault of Thatcher.
Well, in a sense, yes. She was the first one who destroyed heavy industry in Britain and put all the eggs in one basket called the City - and in the current crisis this is what hurt the most.
Thatcher destroyed heavy industry in Britain?  I suggest you educate yourself a bit.  Read up on the shipbuilding industry, for example.  Heavy industry in Britain had been decimated long before Thatcher came around.

Unfortunately it stopped smoking cigars.  The one redeeming quality Castro had :(
