Or, you know, the Chilean US puppet Augusto Pinochet who killed, jailed, or exiled professors, intellectuals, students etc.

Pinochet was a garden variety kleptocrat and villain, not an ideologue. Where Milei falls remains to be determined.

edit: also no reason to make this thread deeper, but you seem to be missing the idea that I am insulting Pinochet. He didn't do it for any reason other than power and money. That is worse. For whatever reason, you appear to think I have views I do not, and are assuming the worst of my replies. I will not reply further.

  • You seem to be confusing Chile and Argentina. Milei is president of Argentina, not Chile. The new president of Chile is José Kast. I suspect the substance of your comment is unaffected by this, however.

  • Funny, and here I was thinking that neoliberal authoritarianism, Cold War anti-communism, and neofascism were all ideologies. But I guess it's only ideology if the bad guy was propped up by the USSR or the PRC?
