Notice how the label "left wing" is used gratuitously in every British
press reference to Salvatore Allende. It looks almost as if the British
journos they can't write "Allende" without the preface "left wing" any more
than they can write "to Australia" without the preface "out".

By using the meanlingles label "left wing" (which has also been applied to
the opponents of MAI and even, incredibly, to Josef Stalin craven journos
avoid the label which is *really* relevant whether Allende was left wing or
right wing or whatever: ELECTED.

The terms "left" and "right" referred to where deputies sat in France's
Constituent Assembly way back in the mists of time and is used in political
and other public matters only as a ruse to avoid the *relevant* terms
"right" and "wrong" or "true" and "false" or "just" and "unjust" or "in the
public interest" and "in the interests of Mr Greed".
