"OK, so go on calling them fascists"
I will Mike
I have repeatedly described how Pinochet behaved - he overthrew a legally elected government, murdered the president, rounded up all opposition into Santiago Stadium where they were tortured, raped and eventually murdered - in their thousands - all to impose an unelected regime, which continued to suppress all opposition.
When he was finally forced, mainly by international pressure and mounting opposition from within, to call an election, he had his troops and loyal police, harass those bravely standing in those elections, he built up a record on all of them, presumably to put them through the same procedures as those who opposed his coup.
On the morning of the election he stationed armoured cars and troops outside many of the polling stations in order to influence of the vote, and when the final count was announced in Santiago, Pinochet's armoured cars lined the streets in the hope of having the whole thig called off.   
When he was put under house arrest in London, Thatcher befriended him and lobbied for his release, accusing those who had arrested him f "running a police state".
The put the support of the Conservative Party at his disposal, holding a rally in his support - at that rally she described him as a "true democrat and a friend of Britain".
She was eventually influential in preventing him from coming to trial for his crimes against humanity.
Neither she, her party colleagues and ministers (and her latter-day supporters, it would seem), never once explained or withdrew their support from her or their behaviour - they (and you) remain unrepentant - though in fairness, you have paid a little mealy mouthed lip service to Pinochet's fascism - why wouldn't you when yo reall have no alternative if you don't wish to appear quite as fascist as she was.
When she fought the miners she openly used the police force as both rabble-rousers, then as physical opponents to the strike in exactly the way I have depicted.
It has transpired that she was days away from using the army to break the miners strike.
She was fascist scum - as are those who support her behaviour, both in regard to the fascist dictator Pinochet and by her behaviour towards the British people - whatever her supporters, then and now thought of her and still think of her - all pigs out of the same sty as far as I'm concerned.
"my calling you a Commie or a Marxist"
If you had any evidence I was either (as you bent over backward to establish at one time, I have little doubt that you wouldn't hesitate to do so.
As it is, you constantly intimate that that I might be (why else would you continue to raise the terms?)
On the other hand, your moronic adopted ward constantly does so, throwing in "racist" and "anti-Semite" for good measure.
I would guess that Attilla the Hun would be regarded as a ranting leftie to the pair of you.
Feel free to use such terms whenever the mood takes you - it adds a little lightness to the depressing picture you and your kind present of humanity.
