Would it have been a bad thing if Chavez or Mugabe had been killed in a military coup? If you turn the country into an undemocratic economic basket case then opposition will occur. Can we see some of your proof that Allende turned the country into an undemocratic economic basket case? Or is your attack on Allende just Rightist rhetoric?

There was extremely high inflation before he came to power. Throughout the 1960's Chile was a basket case. Allende may have been a twat but Pinochet was even worse. Vin, I think everyone is aware that Pinochet was a dictator. Some people are also aware that had it not been for Pinochet the number of British troops killed during the Falklands war would have been a lot higher, some far more eminent people than me are of the opinion that had it not been for Pinochet the end result may have been quite different. As I said, we all know he was a dictator but the fact is, no one knows what goes on behind the scenes.

It doesn’t take much effort to find out that the economy in Chile deteriorated during the time Allende was president and it doesn’t take much effort to find out that Pinochet was a monster . Allende was a socialist and the US was never going to tolerate a socialist Chile anyway .

Real wages under Allende -you just dont give a shit about normal working people do you?

Real wages under Allende -you just dont give a shit about normal working people do you? All true, but doesn't legitimise murder. And Allende wasn't the only one killed. For a time Chile became like Junta era Argentina. Political protest was banned, any political resentment and people were killed for it. Yanks backed Pinnochet. They loved him. Our government supported the murderous coup as well.
