Afghanistan, 1979-92:

Everyone knows of the unbelievable repression of women in Afghanistan, carried out by Islamic fundamentalists, even before the Taliban. But how many people know that during the late 1970s and most of the 1980s, Afghanistan had a government committed to bringing the incredibly backward nation into the 20th century, including giving women equal rights? What happened, however, is that the United States poured billions of dollars into waging a terrible war against this government, simply because it was supported by the Soviet Union. Prior to this, CIA operations had knowingly increased the probability of a Soviet intervention, which is what occurred. In the end, the United States won, and the women, and the rest of Afghanistan, lost. More than a million dead, three million disabled, five million refugees, in total about half the population.

Wish I could nullify and destroy a lot of corporate charters and force under threat of death get every CEO or profiteer that cannot let an alternative to capitalism exist force them do a public confession of all the evils they do/did to other countries.

Than execute them anyway, seize thier assets all of it, and give it to the people they harmed and most of it goes to help the poor and vulnerable here and all over the world. Break up thier corrupt familial chains of inheritance and make them all be poor forever,and hated.and most important of all,powerless.

I know,never gonna happen.
