How will history remember Pinochet?

Absolute goat. They don't come any better than me general.

Generic latin american dictator number 36

>>17824531 (OP)
Mostly they won't. Unless you're specifically studying Chilean history or Latin American history of the 2nd half of the 20th Century, neither of which are particularly major fields in global history.

History already remembers Pinochet as Mussolini.

>>17824531 (OP)
Just another generic caudillo

>How will history remember Pinochet?
It won't. The name is familiar but literally who lmao

>>17824531 (OP)
I work with a Chilean girl and asked her what Chileans think of Pinochet in general and she said only the ultra-rich try to defend his legacy and the rest of the country is rather ashamed of him. She implied there is a very large ideological divide between the richest Chileans who are outright fascists and the other 99% of the country who are your typical democratic westerners. Considering this fact I think he will continue to be remembered as a brutal murderer by everyone who isn't a literal evil aristocrat living in a walled castle that is at odds with the whims of the vast majority of people.

Imagine a country were you could be frends with the absolutist despot and get endless benefits

You could rape steal and murder

And they would give you free land, with free water rights and a generous donation

All you had to do was praise the supreme leader

>>17824531 (OP)
In the Spanish-speaking world, I generally see that the only ones who defend him are some Chileans. The majority of the rest see him as a dictator installed by a foreign power to prevent a communist government.
And although he was the visible figure in the eradication of a communist government in Chile, Plan Condor would have put another Chilean military man in power if it weren't for him.

>allowed a German Nazi pedophile to rape young Chilean boys in exchange for using his compound to rape women with dogs
Hilariously evil, also corrupt

>>17824531 (OP)
He is going to be rehabilitated once all these dumbfuck hippy communist boomers are six feet under.

>>17825366
Communist dictatorships regularly killed tens, hundreds of thousands, millions of innocent people for their demented, ressentiment based ideology. Pinochet killed around six thousand scummy communists who would have shot at, stolen from and imprisoned Chileans with impunity if given the chance.
Maybe he wasnt a hero but anybody who takes down communists is a comparatively good person.

>allowed a German Nazi pedophile to rape young Chilean boys in exchange for using his compound to rape women with dogs
Sounds extremely based

>>17825525
Sure was, it was called "Colonia Dignidad" it had a more evil sounding name in german, they also made machineguns for Israel

>>17825512
>Yes, I raped those women with dogs and had Chilean boys raped by old pedophiles, and embezzled billions of dollars, BUT…
He wasn’t even a benevolent dictator like Lee Kwan Yew or Tito. He’s just a scumbag who only looks “good” because the whole Cold War was a messy affair with both sides supporting criminal subhumans to fight each other

>>17825512
Allende's government wasn't communist or violently repressive

>>17824679
Argentinians used cargo planes which is more efficient per flight hour

>>17825609
He left power peacefully after a free vote in which almost half of the population wanted him to stay. He was more benevolent than most of the Cold War dictatorships and much more benevolent than the current dictatorships (Venezuela and Cuba).

>>17825641
Pinochet left power because the economy was fucked up from needless monetarist experiment and the Cold War was winding down so he could see the writing on the wall and retire with Chiles’ looted coffers. Even his “privatization” was a sham as he sold state assets to his friends and family, not to who could actually run them the best.

>>17824531 (OP)
Sold Chile to the Jews, is LARPed about to this day because he killed like 3k commies, only relevant because inbred richoids got Jew payouts and stopped commies from stealing their gorillions. This retard is so overrated it's insane.

>Look instead of giving the country to Moishe lebevitzstein the communist, I'm giving it to Schlomo shekelberg the capitalist! I'm le hero!
Fucking morons who actually believe that shit

>>17825366
Chileans are cucks
sometimes I feel ashamed being a slav considering we were on the wrong side of history

>>17826024
This is your issue you think someone else is a cuck because projection, they have their country they have their people they ain't dying or becoming the best hoes on europe

liberator of Chile who led them on the path of freedom and democracy

In Latin America almost all the dictatorships from the cold war era are broadly shunned by the population but not for the reasons people assume.

Most Latin American countries had decadent economies riddled with protectionism, corruption and generally anti competitive policies. Many of those dictatorships embarked on economic reforms that shaked the previous cronyism that was in place.

The problem is that when you liberalize the economy you make it easier for capital to move in and out of the economy, and because of Volcker's 1982 shock capital started flowing worldwide to the US to take advantage of those insanely high UST rates.

This caused huge crisis all over Latin America where money could leave easier thanks to the reforms, in what would become known as the Latin American debt crisis.

People associated those economic crisis with the military regimes and started demonizing them, not because of their crimes, but because of the economic crisis.

The thing is that the crisis weren't the military juntas fault, they would have happened anyway, and the economic reforms they made weren't rolled back later, they were kept in place and were one of the major causes why most Latin American economies grew so much after the 90s, especially after 2003.

TL;DR people hate the military juntas because of economic reasons but they're too ignorant to understand how their reforms were to blame for all the good things that happened after 2002 that retards like Chavez, the Kirchners or Lula took credit for

who?

>>17825512
Communist Europe/Asia/Africa
>war torn (PTSD, cripples and shit infrastructure)
>already politically unstable
Even if they weren’t communist they’d have murderous dictators and trash economies (see Africa and Asia)

Chile
>relatively peaceful
>democratic republic, decently stable for the time
>facing a relatively natural economic decline, but heightened due to the largest earthquake in recorded history and the Americans screwing with the economy

Do you really think Allende would’ve gone full Pol Pot or Stalin and have killed 5 gorillion Chileans compared to Pinochet? Allende could barely defend his own presidency what makes you think he would chimp out like Pinoshit?

>>17824531 (OP)
Proof that free markets and dictatorships are incompatible.

>>17826404
Why was Allende nationalizing everything and closing his ties with the Soviet bloc?

>>17824531 (OP)
He was based
