I'm sorry your son is a dead communist. I'm not sorry he couldn't kill thousands of his fellow citizens before he left.
Pinochet's legacy: economic collapse in the 80s, followed by nationalisation of mineral resources & land reform.
Pinochet's legacy, strongest economy in South America and a functioning democracy. What's Castro's legacy?
"Pinochet's legacy, strongest economy in South America and a functioning democracy. What's Castro's legacy?"
No comparison: Chile has an export that the world wants (and I note that you do not deny that it's current economic strength relies on the price of copper); Cuba only has cigars (declining market) and doctors (who also have to work as waiters and taxi drivers to make ends meet).
I am NOT advocating Castro, but frankly while on the subject, he could have been co-opted to the capitalist world years ago through trade (as the Chinese were), and you would have no trouble with Castro if he was a capitalist dictator, would you?
