I am no Trotskyist, but I agree that what I call the Greek military dictatorship was not a Fascist regime. A Fascist regime, such as Mussolini's in Italy and Hitler's in Germany, assures to workers certain benefits, such as paid holydays, paid week-end rest, whole employment, free healthcare, free education, in exchange for renouncing collective actions, such as strikes or political activity. They finance this through a war economy, war aggression and through expropriation of millions of people excluded from society. In Greece there were no benefits to workers.. What I call "Fascist regime", "military dictatorship", "military regime" and "bourgeios democracy", according to the concrete case, may be violent and torture regimes in the same level. In Brazil, at the same time that there exists the heinous repressive violence you see in those films, Marxist parties are allowed by law to use free time on television, mandatory to all open channels, to preach socialist revolution. Tom, do you know that Mussolini began as a Marxist worker and that his ascension to power was hailed by Georges Sorel, the Marxist French theorist of revolutionary-trade-unionism, as "the triumph of Marx' ideas"?
