Allende = Socialist Dictator thug elected by a minority of people in Chile (he wasn't elected by 50+% majority). No more then a criminal. Not that Pinochet was any better. In Latin America, I call it the dictator effect. One dictator after another.
Chile is not third world right now.
For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)

Pinochet privatized a lot of Chile's national resources. Were they bought by American companies or Chilean companies?
I don't know who bought them, but in the early 80s, Pinochet began renationalizing a lot of them, because the economy was in the tank. The "Chicago Boys" experiment failed utterly (though the world economy wasn't so hot at the time due to the massive increase in the price of oil). Far from being a free market miracle, Pinochet ended up, economically at any rate, returning to the days of Allende.

No it doesn't because in the US the electoral college is what counts.
Spiffor, I agree all dictators are idiots. Most dictators happen to be communist. Pinochet's economic programs pulled Chile into the forefront, but there are constant murder going on during his regime.
"Pinochet began renationalizing a lot of them"
No he didn't. That's why most of Chile's economy today is powered by the private sector.
Nice try chegitz.

Fez, you know no one's going to believe you over me.

The Chilean people have a different story.
I don't know who bought them, but in the early 80s, Pinochet began renationalizing a lot of them, because the economy was in the tank. The "Chicago Boys" experiment failed utterly (though the world economy wasn't so hot at the time due to the massive increase in the price of oil).

That's why he got removed.
"The first man who, having fenced off a plot of land, thought of saying, 'This is mine' and found people simple enough to believe him was the real founder of civil society. How many crimes, wars, murders, how many miseries and horrors might the human race had been spared by the one who, upon pulling up the stakes or filling in the ditch, had shouted to his fellow men: 'Beware of listening to this imposter; you are lost if you forget the fruits of the earth belong to all and that the earth belongs to no one." - Jean-Jacques Rousseau

You are a communist. People naturally believe me over you, even if I can't be trusted keeping secrets. BTW, look it up. Chile's economy successes are based on the private sector.

DO NOT EVEN TRY TO SPEAK FOR AN ENTIRE GROUP OF PEOPLE. DO NOT EVEN TRY THAT ****. The Chilean people? How about Chilean socialists and communists?
