I wasn't aware the United States was in the business of propping up communists during the Cold War (Idi Amin was brought to power by the United States and Israel).
Oh, you're one of those.
THERE'S a JOOOOO under your bed...
ROFL
No sparky, the USA and the JOOOOOOOZZZZZZ did not put Amin in power. Quite the opposite. Amin rose, much like Barack Obama Sr., as part of the Anti-Colonial movement.
{Following the expulsion of Ugandan Asians in 1972, most of whom were of Indian descent, India severed diplomatic relations with Uganda. The same year, as part of his "economic war", Amin broke diplomatic ties with the UK and nationalised eighty-five British-owned businesses.
That year, relations with Israel soured. Although Israel had previously supplied Uganda with arms, in 1972 Amin expelled Israeli military advisers and turned to Muammar Gaddafi of Libya and the Soviet Union for support.[29] Amin became an outspoken critic of Israel.[38] In return, Gaddafi gave financial aid to Amin.[39}

See, you have no ******* idea what you are talking about, and you don't bother to do even rudimentary research.
I get it, you're a leftist; the party does your thinking for you.
Milosevic was just an early innovator in the favorite right-wing cause de jour: "eliminating Muslim extremists". Pinochet killed thousands, and tortured tens of thousands more.
No offense buddy, but you're a ******* moron.
You have not a hint of a clue what you're talking about - and again didn't bother to do even basic research.
{Miloević went on to study law at the University of Belgrade's Law School, where he became the head of the ideology committee of the Yugoslav Communist League's (SKJ) student branch (SSOJ). While at the university, he befriended Ivan Stambolić, whose uncle Petar Stambolić had been a president of Serbian Executive Council (the Communist equivalent of a prime minister). This was to prove a crucial connection for Miloević's career prospects, as Stambolić sponsored his rise through the SKJ hierarchy.}

One thing I've noticed is that you guys are really hung up on title. Hitler and Mussolini lead parties with "Socialist" in the name, so you think they were leftists, even though what they actually did (fusion of corporate and state power) is textbook conservatism.
Dude, you clearly lack even rudimentary education. You have no clue what the **** you're talking about. You toss about labels with no regard to meaning.
I said nothing of Hitler, but Hitler knew and cared little for economics. Mussolini was the economic force of the time - and he was very much a socialist.
