Not just any military coup.. Venezuela needs a Pinochet.
Thanks to Pinochet, Chile has the best economy in South America, although the socialists there are trying to mess it up.
A Pinochet? That’s exactly what nobody needs. I can accept the idea of a military rebellion in some circumstances to -preserve- the rule of law. Honduras is a recent example. The military did not rule, it supported civilian rule then went back to the barracks.
But though some worship the turd, Pinochet was a mass murderer. And no, they weren’t just terrorist killers. It included thousands such as writers, labor organizers (distasteful, but not worthy of a hit squad) university professors and anyone suspected of being against the junta.
It always amazes me how many so called “conservatives” would love a military dictatorship. Love the idea of an authoritarian mass murderer, to protect you from an authoritarian mass murderer. Ignorant.
