By your argument even espousing treasonous or freedom-hating views is protected speech, even if you coordinate with others to erode and destroy the civic institutions of the country or society. Treason should be punishable by death. How would you even begin to define "freedom-hating views"?

OK, now we're getting somewhere. I still disagree with you on the facts of Chile, at least events contemporaneous with the coup, but I can see some common ground now.
BTW, it is my fault for poor choice of words.
Freedom-hating should not be simply those one disagrees with, but those that openly or covertly agitate(perhaps even with military or terrorist actions) for the restriction or abolition of basic individual rights--economic liberty, property(part of the first) and freedom of thought.
Meaning, if you act in concert with totalitarian regimes in order to usher in a satellite regime with similar attributes in your home country you should be subject to internment, trial and possibly execution--unless you are found on anything resembling a field of battle, then summary execution.
