- Pinochet overdid it and went way too far in his authoritarianism, so nobody remembers now he saved Chile from a way greater danger: soviet-controlled communism.shaft
- We don't usually see the global historical context and the danger Chile evaded with Pinochet. Communist Khmer Rouge had just murdered up to 3 million people.shaft
- Pinochet stabilised the economy and stepped down even though he didn't have to - what dictator does that?
Still, I agree he went too far, even if it was a war.shaft - economy (chicago boys) crashed in '82. he bailed banks out and bought for the nation some industries, chile had a hard time before economy recovered.uan
- the return to democracy respecting the constitution was a long way for chile, economy works 'cause it's a balancing act in free market and social securities.uan
