When Pinochet Left Office…

…the poverty rate in Chile was 48%. Way to go, Agosto.

…The GNP per capita was the same as it was under Allende in 1973. Way to go, Agosto.

In 17 years of rule, Pinochet murdered or disappeared over 15,000 people, according to the Archdiocese of the Chilean Catholic Church. Way to go, Agosto.

Pinochet privatized Social Security, a neoliberal dream. Presently, the system is underfunded by $1 billion, and overhead takes up 20% of the costs of the system (it’s a wasteful ripoff). 58% of retirees will receive $152/month, and 42% of retirees will receive $0/month (nothing). Privatization of Social Security has been a catastrophe, and the efforts to do the same here in the US will have the same results.

Let’s put it into US figures. If the Chilean system were to be implemented in the US, 58% of retirees would get $456/month (try living on that), and the other 42% of seniors would get $0/month (try living off that). This is the Chilean miracle privatization of Social Security. Works great, huh? Way to go, Agosto.

Some Chilean miracle. More like a Chilean clusterfuck. You guys cheering this on are jokers, either that, or your politics is upside down and ass-backwards.

    Actually, Chile’s economy under Pinochet grew slightly more than the Latin American average. I know it’s not a great standard to be measured by, but still. Most of the time it grew at a speedy pace, but it had a couple horrible recessions (horrible as in, the economy shrank by 10% or more), which possibly doesn’t speak too well of the thing they were trying.

    • He brought the Chicago Boyz in about 1980 and they quickly collapsed the economy in one of the worst recessions in Chilean history. The rest of his term, with the “great economic growth” consisted of simply climbing out of that recession.

      I’m not too wild about economic growth per se. Neoliberalism can produce pretty good economic growth but so what? In general, all of it goes to the top 20% and the bottom 80% tends to lose out.

      To me, that’s not an acceptable outcome.

    May 24, 2o11. The jew war criminal get standing ovation from “US”-congress for an hour. Obama NoBody is in a pub drinking a pint of beer.

    Here is the jew mafia that rules America:

    Here is the jew mafia that rules America:

    http://www.aipac.org/

    In a resounding show of support for a strong U.S.-Israel relationship, thousands of AIPAC activists from all 50 states ascended Capitol Hill on Tuesday to conduct more than 500 lobbying meetings with members of Congress and their staff. The appointments came after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addresses a joint session of Congress in the morning. Read more.

      Could be worse AIPAC could stand for American Islamic Political Action Committee although the Jews are doing a good job on lobbying efforts in the US for the Turks and Turkish affiliated groups like the Cohen group which helped the US stop recognition for a number of years of the Armenian genocide.

      But as the Dahlia Lama said “Arab people are not in other cultures and spirituality except money” so I doubt they will put their money where their mouth is and continue being a good bitch for the US Empire.

      Love that DL quote.

    The stupid jew-whore Obama NoBody can’t probably even spell AIPAC. Can YOU spell AIPAC?

    Okay, tell me what AIPAC is. C’mon … surely you know what AIPAC is.

    Robert … what is AIPAC?

    Hint, the JEW mafia that rules JewNutted ldiots of America.

      Of all the great benefits of our controlling America and Europe, this is probably my personal favorite. Most other goyim don’t understand what’s going on, and while I know that’s how it has to be, still, how much fun is it to trick people who are that blind and gullible? They don’t even know they’re being outsmarted. Speaking for myself, I get true unadulterated pleasure from watching the ones like heg: goyim who are smart or enlightened enough to understand the truth, but who because of their small number are so powerless, all they can do is shout and wave their arms around in impotent rage. Now, that’s entertainment!

    Whatever the jews are doing they do in codewords. Watch the war criminal Nethanyahoooooo’s tie, then watch the jew-whore “l’m a zionist” Vice Puppident Biden’s tie. Light blue, both.

    Then watch speaker of the house tie. Pink. What real man would wear a pink tie?

    Blood read is jew. Pink is “soft core” non-jew useful idiot.

    lt’s a coincident that the jew mafia boss Nethanyahoooooo and the jew-whore Biden both have light blue ties?

    I was reading this person’s blog: http://www.from-uruguay.com/2007/05/ten-things-i-hate-about-living-in.html

    He is Uruguayan that posts about life in Uruguay. Reading this entry and the comments below is very enlightening. It is one of the best off places in Latin America, yet there is much to complain about. It sounds to me like liberal’s paradise. Stifling bureaucracy where it’s difficult to fire anyone. Little accountability, no job creation, no innovation, services suck and are overpriced, basic things we take for granted like electronics are so heavily taxed nobody can afford them(my Chilean friends were recently staying with me up here and they were loading up on clothes and electronics because the same shit would cost them double down there). What private services do exist have little competition, it’s difficult to start a business, etc etc.

    Latin America doesn’t need more bureaucracy and red tape. It needs innovation, business, jobs and wage growth. It needs a more business friendly environment. As it currently stands, Uruguay’s two biggest industries are agriculture and government.

    The problem may also be cultural, as the blogger notes, there is that attitude of “es lo que hay” (it is what it is) with regards to the problems of their country. Not just Uruguay but you will find that widespread in Latin America. If buses never run on time and corrupt government employees are never fired, “hey, it is what it is, what do you expect anyone to do about it?” Latin America’s poverty may be the result of neither neoliberalism or socialism per se. Maybe for cultural reasons, they are just not capable at this point in time of creating either large middle class via free markets or an efficient socialism such as Scandinavia. So blaming one or the other may make little sense. Same with many third world countries. If it’s free market it’s going to suck. If it’s bureaucratic it’s going to suck. If it’s a mixed economy it’s going to suck.

    Think it out and you’ll see that the whole PC business has been the most diabolical scheme ever created to bring down a race in the history of man. That race is us, fools.

    Sure, it’s been gradual over the years. No other way they could work it, without us figuring what’s going on and doing something about it. They’ve realized our constitutional freedoms like gun ownership and free speech may present a problem, so this time they’ve slowly worked to bake our brains first. Call it a just-in-time coup d’etat by the most subversive and biggest racial elitists on the planet.

    They did it in Russia in 1917 and succeeded. They tried to do it to Germany (running the country into the ground), but the people elected Adolf Hitler to power. Now it’s America’s turn to experience the Jew Reality tour.

    Wake up and smell the coffee, White people. Our race is clearly under racial attack from these lousy Jews, sure as I’m sitting here.

    Mr Pinochet was the Franco of Spain and Mr Hitler of Sout-America.

    Same JEW propaganda-bullshit repeated over, over over again. Anyone that is not a total jew-whore is the enemy of the jews. The whole “US”-congress is down on their knees sucking up to the jew mafia boss. Anything less is a “NAZI” to the jews.

    America is totally, lock, stock and barrel run by jews.

    And why is the comment moderation allowing all the “Jews run the world” horsecrap? Grow a pair already instead of beliving in this Alex Jones nonsense.

    • We pretty much allow freedom of speech on here with a few limitations. No promoting rightwing economics and no sounding like the Republican Party. Other than that, you can say whatever the Hell you want to on here in terms of social or political opinion. I ‘m not happy about all the antisemites on here, but we don’t ban on antisemitism here. You can be as antisemitic as you like. It’s ridiculous, but it’s not a violation.
