Andras,

You said "Turkey, based on Ataturk's dictatorship of national socialism"

When the state that Ataturk established was a secular democracy. Either you lied or you simply shot your mouth off in ignorance.

That Erdogan is trying to reverse much of this is the problem with Turkey today and only a fwit would try and suggest that I supported Erdogan.

It was not a 'secular democracy', it was one party rule dictated by Ataturk, with nationalised Islam and recognised by the Soviets first; his party the CHP ruled till end of WWII for 22 years, and was not till 1950, five years later, that the Democratic Party won power, another party for the first time.

'When the state that Ataturk established was a secular democracy. Either you lied or you simply shot your mouth off in ignorance.'

Do you understand defamation laws in Australia e.g. calling people 'liars' etc. to test 'freedom of speech' or are you simply suffering from narcissistic personality disorder and/or Dunning Kruger effect?

Quite common these days amongst nativist conservative libertarians in the Anglosphere aka Brexit and Trump, while Hungary etc. also develop the same i.e. 'collective narcissism' to develop 'pensioner populism'.

Defamation. What rot! Dunning Kruger Effect. You had never heard of it until you were accused of suffering from it.

ttbn, why do you attack others for what they post, when it does not concern you. Being some kind of self appionted forum arbitrator.

Sorry. Paul. I didn't realise that you were the only poster entitled to 'attack' other posters, as you have just done to me. You and the battle axe, plus SteeleHead are always stalking other posters over things that are nothing to do with you. Hypocrites, the three of you. Anyone with an opinion you three don't like gets a serve. Sickening!

Talking about what 'doesn’t concern' me, you, or anyone else, in what way does what the leaders of China and Turkey do in their own countries concern us? Who cares? Australians should pull their heads out of the sand and concern themselves with their their own leaders who have shown recently that they have the potential to become dictators too. Australians have shown themselves to be prime candidates for serfdom; and carrying on about Turks, Chinese and Donald Trump only hides the fact. Australians don't take enough interest in their own problems. They make no attempt to do anything about their own politicians, but presume to pontificate, anonymously and uselessly, about foreign politicians.
