>unsourced claims

This +1

Nixon did everything to fuck Chile's economy. Big mining didn't want to pay taxes for Chile's resources. In the end they hired Pinochet to brutalize his own people. In my country they use the media to sway the elections, much cheaper.

>45% of pop...
With him ended shortages of food
>19% decline in
UP had no way to calculate production, it was a centralized economy, witch was not producing what the market needed. Counting unities of radios or kilos of cooper doesn't matter if the industry is in deficit and in a market economy couldn't operate.
>Steep Decline in average...
yeah he ended hyperinflation, how can you even compare periods?
>Hated by the most of the pop
Yeah they went to his door to throw him seeds like the chickens, but this was because people though he was with Allende
>Killed/tortured/raped
That's anecdotal data, Cuba and the URSS was hell with no respect for human rights, not the Chile of Pinochet. Also there was a war and most of the death were terrorists/foreigners (guerrilleros)
>Embezzled 27 million
Not him, a familiar was accused but it's an anecdote

Also the Americans did not help him, they put and embargo on Chile.

we don't. some people like his helicopter-thing and others think it's just gregacious

Really, the only reason is that he actually killed Commies instead of LARPing about killing Commies on a Cambodian Finger Puppet image board

Because people are retarded and think that overthrowing the elected government of a sovereign state in the name of neoliberal globalism is "based" just because the CIA/Henry Kissinger did it.

The US totally fucked over Latin America during the Cold War for no real reason.

inb4 hurr muh communism

You know that Pinochet kept the Copper Mines nationalized right? The only real change he made was that he kept the low class peasant people enserfed on their land whereas Allende wanted to let them own the land they worked.

And you realize that was the basis of Jeffersonian Democracy right? People owning their own land and not being serfs? GTFO of here to anyone that thinks Pinochet was "based".

>the economy was bad

Because the US was butthurt and started sanctioning Chile for no reason.

>ended shortages of food

Because the US ended sanctions when Pinochet finished the coup.

Sanctioning a country is a really common US tactic against any country where they want regime change they are doing it to Iran right now.

Have you ever been to Chile? I have. It's a beautiful country with one of the highest standards of living in Latin America. It has a strong middle class. If I spoke good Spanish, I'd move there.

Jeffersonian Democracy in the early 19th century vs. mid 20th century Marxism.
Are you serious?

Opposing serfdom isn't "Marxism"

And peasants owning their own land isn't "Marxism" either. In fact under the USSR, nobody could own land, and Stalin simply liquidated the peasants who did own their own land (kulacks) by the millions.

You are calling policies that aren't communism "Marxism" just so you can justify regime change against a country you don't like.

Only memeing redditfags praise Pinochet

Despite claiming to be a patriot he stole money from the public Treasury while he was in power and sent it to private bank accounts in the Caribbean. He was going to be jailed for this shortly before passing away. Also

>Claimed to be pro free market and in favor of a small state
>Dissolved public pension funds
>People complained and the military threatened to stage a coup
>Threw his beliefs out the window and reinstated the pension system but only for the military

"His beliefs".
He just didn't know shit about economics and got some competent guys to make those decisions for him. I don't think he was one of those types who really felt deeply about muh free market.

I have no problem with Chile. I have problems with anti-patriotic, pseudo-intellectual, bourgeoise faggotry.

Pinochet was just another worthless caudillo/warlord in a long line of Latin American caudillos/warlords

Just whisper "commie" in Yanks ear and it's off to war to "Fight the spread of Communism "

Your critiques are valid, however his policy towards helicopters is very agreeable.

Nixon declared nothing made in america would enter Chile Not one nut or bolt . Nixon pressured trading partners to do the same.

>anti-patriotic

So why would you support a US/CIA backed coup in Chile? How is foreign intervention patriotic?

> bourgeoise faggotry

aka "I hate the working class why can't everyone be born an aristocrat like me"

In the US we purposefully got rid of the aristocratic faggots like you Both Jefferson and Washington made sure to get rid of all the pro-Aristocrat laws in Virginia.

The real crime is that the US now supports corrupt aristocracies all across the world because "hurr it's better than communism" as if there are only two options in the world aristocracy or communism.

.because look at chile now and he's a success story that right leaning fascist governments are the best way to stabilize and develop third world countries. you literally need generations of that stability look at how Nicaragua developed under the Somozas and immediately went to shit once they had a socialist revolution. Many such cases!

There was a food shortage because all the truck drivers were on strike not because there was literally 0 food
