So there is no doubt that Thaksin is running the PTP party now... always has been, always will be

But the red shirts don't like Thaksin, so they won't be voting for PTP.

[Buchholz]

This morning's other thread on the upcoming Red Shirt rally showed this portion of the equation:

Red Shirt = Thaksin

and now this thread shows this portion of the equation:

PTP = Thaksin

which just confirms that equation

PTP = Red Shirt = Thaksin

rolls on

[jayjay0]

Not saying they had any legitimacy but if they did BY BY :jap:

[ChiangMaiFun]

This is not a clever move I must admit

Addendum: Both of them are single.

This was the New Year's Greeting Card sent out by Thaksin (wearing his humble Man of the People rural Issan attire) this year.

Somehow, mine must have gotten misplaced at the local post office.

Let's continue your equation.

On the other thread you suggested that the red shirts are communists.

Therefore Thaksin = communist.

Woooooow.

Thaksin is many things, mostly bad.

But a communist?

Living in Thailand can deminish the capability for logical thinking.

There were 2 of them at my home in Surin when I arrived Dec 10. My wife said that a couple of the nice locals, representing the new Phu Yai, brought them by the night before with a 200 Baht holiday gift. How wonderful! I took a long moto ride thru the city and saw some "charming" billboards, showing the Surin candidates running for office, posing with a smiling Thaksin and urging voters to vote Phua Thai in the by-elections to help bring Thaksin back to Thailand.

Thaksin isn't a communist, but communists don't reflect the overall Red Shirts. He's just sucked them in to prop up his movement centered on garnering his return to power.

No shortage of his apologists or enablers, however, who feebly attempt to dismantle the still viable equation.

Do you realise that in Europe, the upside down peace sign is a fachist symbol?

Silly question, i know.

My first thoughts to define thaksin would be: capitalist authoritatian dictator,

But second thought/definition: thaksin changes with the wind to whatever approach he thinks will cancel his current and any future convictions and get him back to the feeding trough.

So mr T is not a commie, but he stimulates (finances) them.

Inform him commies don't go for Louis Vutton then.

And by the way, congratulations with your impressive foto collection.

Do you have a sponsor, or is it just obsession?

And are you just too excited to write properly? "........isn't a communist, BUT ...... "

I take it, you mean AND.

I go for "typical thai politician" ------ ok, no thai bashing, so just "typical politician".....

Only difference with the others - and reason for his downfall: he is more succesfull at it .....

Its a mutual "using" relationship. The communists overlook that he was a tyrannical capitalist in order to latch onto his movement and increase their visibility.

Photos are readily and easily available on the internet with a minimal amount of effort and a modicum of Internet searching ability.

It requires neither a sponsor nor an obsession.

One need not be necessarily "excited" in order to make a simple typo error, so yes, I should have written, "and"

Quite similar to your own errors, also presumably made while not necessarily being "excited"

Living in Thailand can deminish

marketing guru Mingkwan Saengsuwan

Marketing guru? Looks like he must have been on sabbatical the last year or so.

[otherstuff1957]

Politics makes strange bedfellows. Right now the leftists are opposed to the government because of it's ties to the military and are supportive of Thaksin because of his populist policies and his opposition to the 'elite'. If Thaksin gets back into power, this unnatural alliance will no doubt fall apart very quickly.

[kropotkin]

fashist or fachist, google and see both.

too much of it, whatever the spelling.

and an e for an i is a different mistake then an and for a but.

And please do tell me, why do you take sides in a quarrel between different, but same same?

What is the point?

Totally agree with the majority. PTP is a dead party now and whilst they may garner some votes, it would be simple to see who is jerking their chain. No credibility now no matter what they say. Lies and more lies and they are being exposed for what they are.

If your point is: thai politics 100% in disarray, I agree with you.

If your point is: only one political party in disarray, i disagree with you 100%.

I can only hope that something comes out of this mess - to the benefit off all who live here, thai and farang.

Perhaps a european style social democracy?
