First off, Chile never pushed for Communism in the beginning. It was a socialist country, where the people owned the wealth of the country like copper and water. Did you know that the water in Chile is privatized? Do you understand what that means? It means, that if you are a poor soul in the valleys where the Avacado growers have control of the rivers, that are completely dried up from irrigation, that the people are literally starving for water. How did all that start? Through Pinochet, by selling everything through privatization.Tell that to the families of the 3000 who were murdered.And you and Milton Friedman are? Look at the arrogance here. And who's business was this again?There are mixed opinions within this writeup. Milton Friedman awarded him a Nobel prize for economics. Just because the copper belonged to the people doesn’t mean they were prosperous."We have been the bad guys"? We still are. Speaking of Fools. Would you care to un fool yourself by denying our involvement with this countries agenda? Copper used to belong to the people until we changed that; Augusto Pinochet - Wikipedia
Who did "Milton Friedman award a Nobel prize" to again? I didn't know Friedman was handing out prizes?
There are no "mixed opinions". 3000 people were murdered by an installed dictator by the U.S. Some of the murdered I know. I also know those who fled for their lives to Scandinavian countries because of a U.S. installed murdering thug, who opened the gates for U.S. business in the copper mines, while taking the power out of the people's hands. I know some of those people too, because they were there. No "mixed opinions". just facts!
Thank goodness Allende was ousted. Best thing that could have happened to Chile.
I wish Cuba had resisted Communism like Chile did.
Imagine how bad off Chile would be after 45 years of Communism.
Preventing that would have been worth executing 30,000 Commies, instead of just 3,000.
Damn Commie a-holes.
You ask how bad it would have been? It's bad for the poor people who live in these valleys right now. They have to drink contaminated water.Avocado mania continues to suck Chile dry
This is the result of our Geo-political takeovers.
And by the way, Chile was never fighting Communism. It was U.S. intervention that the people were fighting.
And another thing, what kind of monster like yourself, would consider executing 30,000 people? Who the hell are you?
Stop being a supporter of unnecessary murder, and instead get the truth from the unclassified documents on how we the U.S. destroyed the lives of so many, and how that destruction is still ongoing; CIA Activities in Chile — Central Intelligence Agency
