The movie , based upon a true story ,

When Daniel is abducted by Pinochet's secret police DINA, Lena tries to find and save her husband.[4] She tracks him to a sealed-off village called "Colonia Dignidad", which presents itself as a charitable mission run by a lay preacher, Paul Schäfer, but is in fact a place from which no one has ever escaped. Lena decides to join the cult to attempt to rescue her husband.[4]
Augusto Pinochet and the Conservative Threat to America
by Jacob G. Hornberger January 12, 2005
While some people might believe that those on the Left wing of the political spectrum pose the bigger threat to the freedom and well-being of the American people, nothing could be further from the truth. Today, the much bigger threat (Readhere and here) comes instead from the Right wing or conservative side of the political spectrum, for it is the conservatives who are either indifferent to — or squarely in favor of — military rule, torture, and suspension of habeas corpus and civil liberties for suspected terrorists. And those things constitute a much more ominous threat to our freedom and well-being than anything leftists endorse. (Of course, in fairness to the truth, there are leftists who endorse violations of civil liberties — or simply look the other way — when such violations are committed by leftist officials, two notable examples being Janet Reno and Fidel Castro.)
Yeah, and the proof of that is how Chile devolved into a totalitarian hell hole . . . . . . . er, no, that's not it. Chile is the wealthiest country in Latin American with a thriving democracy.
It really is sad how low left wingers have to reach to paint capitalism as a threat to freedom and democracy. On the other hand, the farthest we have to look to find examples of socialism devolving into totalitarian dictatorship is 90 miles south of Florida.
Chile was NEVER Capitalist.
When the government is involved you have fascism, corporatism, mercantilism, take your pick they all mean the same thing.
And when the government executes, disappears and tortures its citizens as shown in the movie "Colonia" then Capitalism is definitely not involved.
.
It was far more capitalist than it was before Allende ascended to the throne and invited the Cubans to run the country. The people executed were communists working to overthrow the government. That's what happens in civil wars: people get killed. Only communists think it's a crime against humanity to kill the people fighting making war on the people.
A relentless war was waged against Pinochet and the Chilean people during the years, 1973-1990. Bill Jasper points out that in 1984 alone, there were 735 terrorist bombings with responsibility clamed by the Manuel Rodriguez Patriotic Front (MRPF) the Communist cadre supported by Cuba, Nicaragua, Libya, East Germany, and the Soviet Union. On Sept. 7, 1986, Pinochet and his 10-year-old grandson narrowly escaped an ambush by Communists armed with automatic rifles, rocket launchers, bazookas, and grenades. Many terrorists and their supporters were killed in this war of attrition both by Pinochet’s forces and by civilians seeking vengeance and. given the situation, many of their bodies went unidentified. Jasper states that “we have seen no evidence to sustain the charges that Pinochet ordered, knew of, or approved of, any plan for the use of murder or torture against his political opponents”.
Once Nixon was involved and determined to make the system fail one can not determine if those were false flag operations.
.
Nixon did not interfere in the Chilean economy in any way. You're post is commie horseshit propaganda. The only thing the Nixon administration did in Chile is help finance a few opposition parties in a couple of their elections.
