Black lists, nice, it is so democratic that Stalin used them.

Black lists, nice, it is so democratic that Stalin used them.

The article quotes an unnamed source within Arsat's employees as saying "Hay listas negras."

Is that, for you, proof that they exist? I would hate being in court with you defending me if you truly believe that an unsourced quote is equivalent to proof. I assume that you do understand rules of evidence.

A "blacklist" names people who are not to be hired for given jobs, in some cases meaning any job if political persecution is involved. Stalin didn't use them. His were better described as "dead" lists - if you were on one, you just disappeared. You might try to find some other historical figure to compare with Macri. Stalin's out of his league.

The jornalist sources are protected by the National Constitution. If he publish the name of his source, he/she gets into the black list right away. In thouse cases you call the journalist as a witness if "we are at Court".

However, everybody is talking about blacklist of "camporistas". The political persecutiong that is going on is not a secret.

If to attack my professional skills is part of the political persecution or your dislike with me, it is very law, you can do better.

Thank you with the clarification, you are right here, it is just that I didn't want to quote Videla again and again and again, but here he is again:

So, we are back to the black list because we are living in the dictatorship of happiness.

I find it amusing that since Macri came to power last month, the most overused words from the doc have been (in no particular order): dictator, torture, democracy,Stalin,convalidate,criminal,coup,scary,decree,dictator,officialism and a few more I can't remember.

And quote of the century "[background=rgb(252, 252, 252)]Actions are good or bad no matter who made them."[/background]

Yes, really.
I might suggest reductio ad videlum* as a local corollary - but that really is too local, in many senses of the word.

Now Bajo, try to understand how you undermine yourself.

Your link takes us to a report on the conduct of an Argentine military dictatorship that lasted from 1976 to 1983. The article says that there were blacklists of artists, politicians, and intellectuals whose voices the dictatorship wanted to silence. We know that they did that to these people, and without killing them (so leave Stalin out of this).

But here we are in 2016! Mauricio Macri is Argentina's freely-elected President. His government is looking at state employment and is selectively reducing the workforce. At Artel they've cancelled some contracts and laid a few people off.

Don't you realize that you destroy any good points and arguments you may have by trying to find equivalence between these two things? It's sad that, instead of making us think - by showing us cases of actual wrongdoing - you make us laugh at your ridiculous, obviously untruthful assertions?
