Pinochet Common Misconceptions

Never mind the fact that Pinochet left almost half the country under the poverty line.

What was the rate pre-Pinochet?

Pinochet has more supporters in Chile, but it's still not to the level the thread starter would like us to believe. 55% say it was bad or very bad, 9% say it was good or very good.

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-24014501
(terrible headline, makes it sound like the poll showed closer to 50/50, not 55/9.
 
Let's not forget that Allende was voted to power, he didn't have a coup. Moreover, he apparently was not in favour of killings, unlike Pinochet.
But, imo, more characteric of all is that while Allende chose to stay and (as was certain) die, el General chose to flee.

Maybe the US embargo, the situation in Chile itself (polarization, workers vs other parties, mistakes all around) was primarily responsible for the crisis there leading to the coup. But one has to realize that massive polarization is in the longer run far more dangerous than a gov you don't like. And killing your enemies makes mass polarization even harder to even actually go away. That to this day there seems to be a huge split in Chile regarding its past, speaks volumes on whether or not it is logical to hail anyone, including Pinochet.

Allende only put tanks into the streets, starved everyone, seized their property, and brought in communist guerillas to kill civilians with the help of Castro. Compared to Stalin or Mao he was an angel.

Allende was also ousted from power when the legislature charged him with 22 constitutional violations and ordered Chile's military to remove him from power. Pinochet did as he was ordered and removed the tyrant from power. If it wasn't for General Pinochet, Allende would have been a 2nd Pol Pot and Chile would be another failed communist hellhole state.

So 45% according to BBC still support General Pinochet 40 years later, so clearly he's not the blood thirsty tyrant that the communist fetishists (liberal academics) would like everyone to believe.

This is also a BBC poll, so that 45% is probably closer to 90%. You might as well just quote CNN. I think they've finally found that missing Malaysian Airline. A black hole was responsible, or possibly a "supernatural" incident. It's also impossible for Donald Trump to win the election. CNN and BBC don't understand why the Witch Queen hasn't been crowned Chairman of America yet.

You are so rabid about labeling people "communist fetishists" that I'm starting to wonder if maybe you have a confession to make. Do you dream of seizing the means of production?

I do have a confession to make.

I've witness far too many leftists licking the boots communist tyrants and I don't find it nearly half as kinky as they do.

50 Shades of Red? Is that what they call it when the blood runs through the streets?

Probably a public health risk.

It's good they forcefully seized control of the medical industry then. The people they didn't murder yet will just have to die too after the communists bankrupt the hospitals and run them into the ground, similarly to all of those farms and mines they seized.
 
I'm sure they deserve it if they're being killed. After all, isn't this the logic you graced us with?
 
^Tyrant literally means "person getting to power through illegitimate means". Again, Allende was voted to power (by more than 40%?). Pinochet was not voted to power.

That is a lie. The article clearly state that 9% support him ; not 45%.

"He's the past, I don't really care" or "I wasn't alive then" are not support.
 
@RomanKing you're not going to change anyone's minds by calling them communist fetishists.

Your argument is that the death and torture under Pinochet was justified by the economic benefits, right? The fact that thousands were tortured and murdered under Pinochet, that is not a common misconception, right?

The vast majority of people (here and worldwide) reject that ends-justify-the-means approach. No amount of economic benefits can justify torture and murder by the government. In fact, there's no reason to believe such actions were necessary or somehow contributed to economic recovery.

Unless you are willing to admit that torture and murder are bad things, no matter who commits them, you will never find sympathy for your argument.
 
US imposing an embargo of machine parts, on Allende's Chile, and US lifting that embargo (and likely financing any opposition to Allende) on Pinochet's Chile... somewhat played a role in the economics, no?
And US had no issue with backing river of blood regimes, in Chile or 100 other places.
 
Pinochet supporters are fascists, and there's only one good type of fascist:

Who could resist such a man?

It was far beyond that. The infamous Make Chilean economy scream and such.

To the ones TLTR: Uncle Sam's hand was so deep up Pinochet's ass that Chile became worse than Fraggle Rock.
 
Here's a question, was there any south or central american country that didn't get screwed over by America and/or Russia?
