Pinochet deserves a heck of a lot more credit than he has even been given. He really fixed that nation. I mean he even managed to fix it well enough that even successive socialist administrations after he left have not been able to touch the structural reforms which have made Chile into an economic powerhouse.

Now if Chile just had decent gun laws, I might consider moving there.

My thoughts also.
I am in out down here very often and even though there is some trashy culture hangers-on, Chile is excellent, except for private gun laws which may also be a legacy of Pinocet.

Isn’t Sebastián Piñera a pretty decent guy? Seems to be and he’s definitely a capitalist.
