Anti-communists aren’t dictators, Pinochet took power via the military but after that he kept getting elected into Office
Eli Hughes

he was a US installed puppet dictator and by no means did he stay in power democratically
by all measures he was a dictator, just stop arguing

Pinochet made Chile an impoverished shithole though.

absolutely no dictator will ever be as based as Bokassa

>These policies produced high economic growth, but critics state that economic inequality dramatically increased and attribute the devastating effects of the 1982 monetary crisis on the Chilean economy to these policies.[17][18] For most of the 1990s, Chile was the best-performing economy in Latin America, though the legacy of Pinochet's reforms continues to be in dispute.[19]

Childhood is when you worship Hitler.
Adolescence is when you admire Pinochet.
Adulthood is when you realize Mussolini made more sense.
Cameron Perez
Ayatollah Khomeini. Fujimori seemed pretty based though too.

Mussolini was incompetent and sold secrets to the Allies, basically gave up

Okay, but Mussolini was delusional. He felt that he could turn the Italian Military around.

aka when they were crawling out of the economic pit Pinochet had thrown them into. Chile would be much richer niow if he never took power.

Wasn't he against German expansion at first before siding with them? He got close to signing a treaty with the URSS and had close ties to the UK and France.
Gabriel Lopez

Except if he were never in power the country would've become Venezuela 2.0 to being with.

“But Italy was occupied by the Germans and is now being occupied by us. You don’t call that doing very well, do you?”
“But of course I do,” exclaimed the old man cheerfully. “The Germans are being driven out, and we are still here. In a few years you will be gone, too, and we will still be here. You see, Italy is really a very poor and weak country, and that’s what makes us so strong. Italian soldiers are not dying anymore. But American and German officers are. I call that doing extremely well. Yes, I am certain that Italy will survive this war and still be in existence long after your own country has been destroyed.”
Nately could scarcely believe his ears. He had never heard such shocking blasphemies before, and he wondered with instinctive logic why the why G-men did not appear to lock the traitorous old man up. “America is not going to be destroyed!” he shouted passionately.
“Never?” prodded the old man softly.
“Well…” Nately faltered.
The old man laughed indulgently, holding in check a deeper, more explosive delight. His goading remained gentle. “Rome was destroyed, Greece was destroyed, Persia was destroyed, Spain was destroyed. All great countries are destroyed. Why not yours? How much longer do you really think your own country will last? Forever? Keep in mind that the earth itself is destined to be destroyed by the sun in twenty-five million years or so.
Nately squirmed uncomfortably. “Well, forever is a long time, I guess.”
“A million years?” persisted the old man with keen, sadistic zest. “A half million? The frog is almost five hundred million years old. Could you really say with much certainty that America, with all its strength and prosperity, with it’s fighting man that is second to none, and with its standard of living that is the highest in the world, will last as long as the… frog?”
Joseph Clark
thanks to Aylwin and Frei, not Pinochet
Sebastian Bell
>They could've stomped the Anglos and the Slav(e)s if he had waited.
Hitler did stomp the Anglos and the only reason they even existed is out of his good will of allowing them to retreat @ Dunkirk and not bombing them to kingdom come because he admired the British and saw them as models to be followed.
The reason why Hitler jumped the trigger is the preemptive strike he used because according to the NSDAP the Soviets would've invaded them regardless so they decided to start out with a bang and use momentum to their advantage, which worked up to a certain point actually...
Nicholas Brown
Chile was doing fine with Allende.
Nathan Allen
btw my obvious answer is obvious
Connor Rodriguez
He set the stage for the elections that got them into power
Liam Allen
the reason why there were elections in first place is because Pinochet was ruining the economy just 4 years before the referendum for the end of his military intervention
Camden Ward
not to mention he was embezzling money and the first time he actually went on tv to have an election debate he got btfo epic style

let's also add that Aylwin was neither right nor left but Third Way

What about Stroessner? He seemed like a genuinely nice guy.

Colonial empire... Portugal was in a a political and economical hell hole. He was a magnificient financial experts (had a phd, at that time was rare) that recovered Portuguese financial strengt (but not economical) and we would retain african colonies under his rule (actually only Guiné-Bissau was in a bad situation, Mozanbique and Angola were almost finished).
The problem with him is that he was ultra catholic and ultra conservative, he thought the people should be poor because there is grace and purity in being poor. He didn't put effort in educating the population but put Portugal in a better place than it was

Portugal was impoverished before his regime, after his death it was better off than most countries in Europe. And he didn't give a fuck about Hitler's and Mussollini's retardation and WW2 in general, which is commendable for a quasi-fascist dictator.

Now imagine if Portugal was democratic or even fucking communist - they'd have all that minus the abject poverty.

Communism was restrictive and quality of life was certainly lower, but there wasn't very much starvation tier poverty or mafia feudal lord rape squad predations going on in the USSR. Meanwhile every fascist tinpot dictator turned their country into a bunch of gangs endlessly robbing a malnourished, sometimes outright starving population.

>seized power in the Congo in a coup in 1965
>a little bit later, he decided to enforce Africanization and required people to adopt African names, as an example changing his own name from Joseph Mobuto to Mobuto Sese-Seko and the capital from Leopoldville to Kinshasha
>finally the country's name was changed to Zaire
>an opportunist, he courted aid from anywhere (but mostly to line his Swiss bank account) except the Soviet Union, which was good enough for the US State Department--Moscow was the only major world capital Mobuto never visited in his 33 year reign
>with the Cold War over by the early 90s, American support for Mobuto dwindled and he complained that he'd been used and thrown overboard by Washington when he ceased to be useful
>finally forced out in 1997, he went into exile in Morocco and died of cancer soon afterwards

Salazar did very good thing and very bad things. Portugal was in really REALLY bad shape in the end of the 1800's to early 1900's/WW1.

There were something like 20 presidents between the establishment of the republic in 1910 and Salazar's installation by the army in 1927.

>taking power in 1965 following the death of Gheorgiu Gheorgiu-Dej, Ceausescu was initially a liberal by the standards of the communist bloc
>continuing what his predecessor started, Ceausescu broke off most cultural and economic ties with Moscow--Russian literature and media were removed from circulation in Romania and replaced with a high degree of Western content
>in August of 1969, he became the first foreign leader that Richard Nixon met with as president
>in 1971, Ceausescu made a trip to East Asia and was overawed by what he saw in China and North Korea
>at this point, something in his head snapped and he decided to follow his own "brand" of juche
>this included his own wacky model of collectivization and bulldozing historic districts of Bucharest for commieblocks
>the Orthodox Church was brutally persecuted and a growing personality cult around Ceausescu began to form
>the state security forces (the Securitate) grew ever more powerful and maintained a huge army of informants
>Ceausescu's first years in power had been marked by a baby boom, but later on he tried to keep it going artificially by outlawing contraceptives and requiring that all women have five kids, enforced by mandatory gynecological exams
>Ceausescu's obsession with paying off Romania's foreign debts led him to institute rationing and serious food and fuel shortages set in
>nonetheless, as late as 1983 Vice President Bush called him "one of the good communists"
>by the late 80s, with the Cold War winding down, the US began criticizing Ceausescu's human rights record
>the end finally...well, you all know
Jackson Howard
>He
lol no
that was all managed by the Police Investigation department's commisioner, Camilo Almada Morel
what Stroessner was known for was being a pedophile. his most known "lovers" were one young woman aged 14 and another aged 16, the last one took care of him until his death.
once the police grabbed an entire family for "interrogation", included an 11 year old girl. Stroessner went directly to the cell where she was to pardon her life just cuz she was cute
Cameron Morgan
Between Napoleon and Salazar was the absolute worst for the country.
>Failing industrialisation after losing colony all of sudden
>Political instability
>WW1
A disaster. Salazar not committing to the Marshall plan and loosing up a bit was its downfall. We're part of the original NATO members, since he had a keen eye for realpoltik but besides that, he kinda failed. It was good for the 30' and 40's but he kinda lost track afterwards.

It was ironically that 60s baby boom that contributed to his demise, since by the late 80s, all those kids were now young adults who couldn't find employment and a large, unemployed youth population leads to trouble every time.
Luis James
The sad part is his reforms had almost entirely eliminated the debt issues, if he had lasted just a couple years longer things might have ended differently.
