Pinochet was so far ahead of his time...
Unfortunately he relinquished power and the leftist soon returned He and the and the armed forces did save Chile from becoming a cross between Venezuela and Cuba for which he should be hailed as Chile's greatest patriot of the 20th century instead of being vilified and execrated. Once the left has reached a certain level of strength and militancy an authoritarian rightist regime has to stay in power for 50 to 100 years to really crush the life out of the Marxist/Leninist minded leftists.
