This present situation in Honduras little resembles Fascism under the CIA/Colby/Bush [Snr.] inspired Junta Coup d'Etat led by General Pinochet. The government in Chile was an elected Left-Socialist one. It had put into effect Statutes and Laws left lying dormant for several decades which upset the Copper Oligarchy within the Miltary Industrial Complex of the USA. The ruthless reactionaries within Chile and outside of it had widespread support amongst governments all around the Globe. Buoyed by their successes in destroying Democracy there, and in retaliation for the defeat in IndoChina at the hands of the VietCong and its counterparts in Laos and Cambodia, they engineered fascist Coup d'Etats in Greece and Argentina soon afterwards. The defeat of fascism in these countries was at the hands of the solid brotherhood of industrial workers and proletarians throughout the World from New Zealand to Finland, from Denmark to Spain, from Russia and Cuba to China and the other Comintern States, and eventually Britain. Honduras does not have support anywhere except within the Pentagon and the Administration inside the Houses of Representatives in the USA. Long Live the struggle of the Honduran Workers and Peasants for a free State. Refer to Dmitrov "On the United Front Against Fascism" as well as "What's To Be Done?" and "Where To Begin?" by the leader of the Bolshevks, Lenin, as put into effect through Stalin and the Yalta Accords he fought for and won from Imperialism. ///snowyone.
