As I said, the capitalists began to tank the economy. In fact, the United States had a hand in this happening.

Not that this is legible, but this is the famous memo where Nixon says to make the Chilean economy scream.

Kissinger's quote as to why they were doing this, "I don't see why we need to stand by and watch a country go Communist due to the irresponsibility of its own people."

Challenging me on Chile is foolish, as it is an extremely well documented case of the U.S. destroying a country, finally resulting in a coup d'etat.

You should have gone after France, about which I know considerably less. As it is, in 1980, the French Socialist Party won the elections on a strong social democratic platform. Immediately, the economy began to nose dive, and they were forced to back off their plans.
