>The deposition of Allende was a legitimate act to counter the USSR. Communism is a totalitarian ideology and totalitarian ideologies require extraordinary methods to be combated.
Allende was a Democratic Socialist not a "Communist" (by which you mean Authoritarian Socialist, in the style of the USSR) you troll.
His ideology was in no way Totalitarian, and he actively worked to maintain the institutions of Democracy.
Whereas PINOCHET the far-right "Capitalist" dixtator installed by the CIA was absolutely 100% a Totalitarian. He built Concentration Camps.
So by your own words, Pinochet should have been opposed by "extraordinary methods", not been actively supported and installed in the first place by the CIA.
Funny how you right-wing trolls twist morality in on itself so it becomes somehow right to depose a leftist Democracy to replace it with right-wing Totalitarianism.

Sure, in the same way that the so called Democratic People's Republic of Korea is a democratic entity.
Soviet sponsored proletarian revolutions had to be contained.
It happened in Turkey too. Before the 1980 coup, Soviet backed guerillas were wreaking havoc. My father was working at a rural government clinic at the time and he was kidnapped by the revolutionaries and held for ransom. At the height of it, the revolutionaries would set up checkpoints and execute any state employee, Katyn style.
Who put an end to that? Kenan Evren. Look him up.
You cannot treat cancer with antibiotics or painkillers. You treat it with chemotherapy which can hurt like hell. So it is with countering revolutionary Marxism.

Not at all.
There was nothing Totalitarian about Allende's government. Free, multi-party elections continued. The Constitution remained in force (in fact, it was ardent Constitutionalists in the government who fouled the first CIA Coup attempt).
Stop spreading file hatred and right-wing propaganda just because you are unable to face facts.
This has gone on too long. You are clearly a troll, likely a PAID troll. Nothing will stop you from repeating the same nonsense over and over, completely unsupported by facts and heedless of counterarguments.
You are being blocked. Good riddance.
