So I guess the libertarians building their own “Galt’s Gulch” in Chile are going to be a mite disappointed?

Yes, the whole left is together in coalition from the “Christian Democrats” (which in most countries could be a center-right party) to “Partido Comunista”. I think that’s always been the case.

It should be noted this witch was already President, serving just before the current outgoing President.

A least the no consecutive terms thing is helpful in avoiding a Chavez situation. Of course I think he had terms limits laws changed in his country.

“Clearly Chilean socialists are are cooler and less spicy than the South American standard. I don’t think we’re dealing with Chavez style COMMUNUSTS in this case. Still not good though.”

I don’t like this at all; Khent thinks might open up more opportunities in alternative entertainment venues.
