Killing himself before the enemy can find him makes him sound like a bit of a Nazi, doesn't it?As Chilean jets strafed La Moneda presidential palace Sept. 11, 1973, Allende shot himself with a gold-plated submachine gun given to him by Castro.

The omitted part about the ruined economy has been addressed to the point of discrediting all your currently held arguments, but it has to be considered at least cheeky to have you complain about breaking the rule of law, simultaneously having ‘by law or by strength’ as your motto.Allende (…) trampled the rule of law so badly

What a pity he didn't appoint himself a senator for life then.The coward didn't want to face trial.

This is quite ideological thing. I would totally love to have Pinochet in my country at 1945. But not after fall of iron curtain. Some countries got right wing dictator and it didnt turn well.
If his opening gambit is going to be "Fascists: Great or Super-Great?", you should temper your expectations.
Where are you from, if you don't mind?
I love that, and not only because I Need a Hero is one of my favorite songs.
I see Pinochet more like this though:

You mean like Pinochet when he was indicted by crines against humanity by spanish judge Baltasar Garzón and hid in England claiming he was very ill. That was very brave. At least when he returned to Chile found that things had changed and the senador vitalicio trick was not working so well anymore.Like Hitler in his bunker. The coward didn't want to face trial.

The communist coup of Czechoslovakia was in 1948.

If you are implying PSOE is communist your knowledge of Spanish politics is null at most.
Are there any English-language sources that discuss left-wing violence in Chile before and during Allende's presidency? I'd like to find out how widespread this was. If you don't know of any, you can link to Spanish-language sources too and some combination of Google Translate and hazy recollections of high-school Spanish might tell me something.
Pinochet had people thrown out of helicopters.Like all wanna-be Communist Westerners Garzón has no respect for the law
