The left gives itself ulcers in its hatred of Pinochet, but, in the final analysis:
“Pinochet’s new government also implemented economic reforms, including currency stabilization, tariff cutting, opening Chile’s markets to global trade, restricting labor unions, privatizing social security, and the privatization of hundreds of state-controlled industries. These policies produced what has been referred to as the “Miracle of Chile”.
Yep, he smote the communists and gave Chile an unprecedented run at prosperity and modernity. And the left will never forgive him for it.
