I don't get it Brasas... you say Aliende was no choir boy... but mate, he was an elected president, and he was labelled a communist cause he nationalised American fruit companies. Those fruit companies (the same Castro nationalised in Cuba) were awarded ridiculously profitting contracts with shadowy negotiations and drained the country of it's production. Alliende, as he had promised before the elections, nationalised them, and thus made the US angry as hell. Thus the CIA helped orchestrate the coup and Pinochet's rise to power, with all that came along. Disappearences, tortures, murders, the list is gory. They recently found a pilot who testified (after all these years) that they dumped body-bags chained with scrap metal to the ocean, to get rid of the numerous corpses...

Also good is the movie called Missing with Jack Lemmon, where if you look close enough you can see the size of the atrocities performed by Pinochet's death squads...

I really can't get it though. I posted on the bad practices of businessmen, and it turns into a Capitalism vs. Socialism thingy again... Truth be told, after a recent conversation with my father I realised that neither system would work in Greece. People don't work unless their paycheck is uncertain, and businessmen don't open new businesses, unless they can end up vulgarly filthy rich in less than a year, without using their own money. Which means, they will take a loan, open a factory or something, work it for a while, while skimming off the loan money, and then declare bunkcrupsy and move onto the next... all legal...

Ridi, Pagliaccio...
