Which was the worst regime AmeriKKKa has

[The Incorruptible]

Renowned academic says it was the Greek Colonels. What do you think? For my own part, I think it was Diem in South Vietnam

Pinóchet's Chile.

[Labor Shall Rule]

Suharto's Indonesia.

[Ander]

Wow...where to start?

Pinochet in Chile? The Shah in Iran? Castillo Armas in Guatemala? Do you want me to go on and on?

What about the dozens of brutal regimes they have supported?

Trujillo's in the Dominican Republic

Yeah it has to be the military regime put in Guatemala, over 200,000 Guatemalans, mostly indigeneous Maya were slaughtered under its rule.

[The Living Red]

Pol Pot in Cambodia.

Perhaps not the worst but no-one's said Batista in Cuba, which I understand was pretty brutal.

[Ander]

You have to understand that the post is asking which regime that America has put into power. While the US has supported many brutal regimes, fewer have been put into power. This does not excuse their support in any way however.

[Vargha Poralli]

Pol Pot in Cambodia.

Wrong. Polpot was a maoist and is one of the biggest shame of all asian communists.

[LoneRed]

While killing the vietcong?

You are the one who is wrong sir.

[Mesijs]

It has actively supported many tyrannic regime's and movements, but I don't know which of it it really put into power. At least it did with Pinochet and in Guatamala.

[An archist]

Saddam in Iraq?
the mujahedien in Afghanistan?

[pastradamus]

Pol Pot in cambodia

[CombatLiberalism]

ameriKKKa itself is the worst. amerikkkans owe massive reparations to the rest of humynity.

[CombatLiberalism]

Wrong. see: http://www.etext.org/Politics/MIM/faq/polpot2.html

My vote goes for Suharto in Indonesia. 200,000 dead East Timorese (not to mention all the dead Indonesian leftists), which was proportionally at least as many as the Cambodian genocide.

This is actually a tough call.

Of all the mounstrous regimes that the American government has put into power either directly or covertly. The sad part is, many of the worst regimes the US had supported are virtually unknown to the mainstream public (and yes, that's largely our job, our meaning the progressive/revolutionary left' s job) to educate and inform the masses about it.

That being said, I think I would have to choose between the brutal dictatorships in Guatemala or the Suharto regime in Indonesia.

Based on what they did in East Timor (nearly wiping out the entire country) and exterminating the world's largest Communist Party in the non-Communist world (I believe the Indonesia Communist Parties had 1 million members at its peak) my vote will go to Suharto nightmare.

For me, Pinochet takes the cake, or at least a large slice of it. Perhaps the worst ones the put into power are the ones who they take out of power later on, like Sadam in Iraq, put in by America, taken out by America, and the Iraqi people had to suffer through this ongoing ride. That is much worse for me than just putting a dick into power, is giving and taking power at will. That is Imperialism at its worst.

Wrong. Polpot was a maoist and is one of the biggest shame of all asian communists.

Pol Pot wasn't put into power by the yanks and he wasn't a "Maoist".

Pol Pot was an anti-Marxist lunatic.

I'd say Papa Doc was pretty bad and the Shah.

There are really too many to mention.

It's a very difficult question.

What really makes me sad is when you see human progression quashed brutally by US imperlialsim.

We'd be living in a very diffferent world if it were not for the yanks shutting down some of the most beautiful movements in human history.
