Chile though also has heavy US involvement cause the previous administration tried to nationalize assets owned by US corporations which let to sanctions. All the protests were funded by the CIA though they were genuine. The US did encourage the trouble in Chilé but also wasn’t totally responsible. However they were very much responsible for the disasterous economic policies of the pinoché dictatorship. This was entirely on councul from American economists who would came to be known as the Chicago school. While on paper some economic numbers did go up in practice in terms of people’s living everything went downhill.
The whole “liberalization” was really just a thinly veiled way to undo the nationalization and to hand control of Chilé’s natural resources back to US corporations.This is important cause many of these principles were later on imported back to the US and implemented under Ronald Reagan. Which includes dismantling any interests that are not shareholders, violently suppressing labor unions and letting powerful corporations dictate the economy rather than having them serve it.
This system the was first tested in Chile is in many ways still the economic system we live in today. Just like in Chilé the US on paper is richer now than it has ever been but when it comes to reality it has countless people in poverty and Covid showed it’s incredibly fragile with any disturbance being a disaster.Economically Chile was absolutely not successful. They increased GDP numbers but when it comes to people’s actual living standards and the level of autonomy they have it went downhill hard. Chile’s economy was a success on paper only and there was also a lot of forgery to hide just how badly the economy was going. Cause there were many powerful corporate interests who wanted to see it succeed. That letting corporations rule was better than having them serve. While in terms of violence there were worse dictatorships I don’t think any has left a legacy as strong as the Pinoche dictatorship of Chile with the only possible exceptions being Stalinist Russia and Nazi Germany. However even with those we don’t live under a Fascist dictatorship nor under a state capitalist system. However we do live under a neo-liberal oligarchy just like what Pinoché helped establish in Chile.
