Was Pinochet a force for Chilean liberty in the long run? Anonymous 10/13/2019 (Sun) 13:17:18 No. 215

I am not asking the prescriptive question of "Should we offer free helicopter rides to communists," but the historical descriptive question of, "Did Pinochet's regime's policy of execution/arrest of communists result in a more economically liberal society?"

This is what you get when you brainwash a whole generation of kids that barely went under any real hardship that they live in the worst country around.
Please help me to get out from this hellhole ;_;

This is the story of my life right now. There needs to be more games like this. For better or worse, it's a bit too short and simple to be really fun, but I guess they have to sacrifice something to make it more accessible for the normalfags, and it's designed to be educational first and foremost anyway.

Me and a friend of mine also once had an idea like this for a "life in a commie shithole" simulator but it was supposed to be in visual novel format, we wanted it to have a deep story, interesting characters, and dating sim elements, and the game would get difficult with each new law that polticians passed. It was supposed to be kinda like Persona but without the dungeon battles.

I can't bring obsidian bows for the bubbaloo in Minecraft to my fellow clan members in the local server by going full Kaczynski.

I don't get it, is the game supposed to be ironic?
>>610
I think it's supposed to be serious.
>In 1973 the democratically backed socialist government in Chile was overthrown by a military coup which put Pinochet in power. Since that time nearly every aspect of the Chilean economy has been privatized including their social security system. Since that time pensions have become virtually non-existent, inequality has skyrocketed, and a dual system has been built one serving the rich, and the other serving the rest. This is reflected in the dual healthcare system, or the school system which both serve the rich far better than they serve the rest. One of the only things not privatized were the copper mines which bring in about 39% of Chilean GDP. (Reyes and Sawyer, latin American economic development) these copper mines are used to fund the only remaining decent pensions in Chile which are military pensions. The rampant inequality created by the privatized system has essentially turned the region into a powder keg which was ignited by a hike in public transit fees. You see this is not a problem that free-marketers want to address because this problem boils down to a failure of the free market. GASP! Chile has long been hailed one of the only macroeconomic successes in the region due to their free market, but these roots are clear evidence that this success hasn't trickled down to the people of Chile.
Don't you free market fundamentalists understand what damage your policies have created in Chile? Jeez. How much evidence do you need?

You know, it really is like this. There are a lot of people who pay complete and total attention to GINI coefficients and fucking nothing else. It really is completely fucking aggravating.

The what?

A common metric used to quantify how 'equal' the distribution of wealth is.

That sounds completely retarded

Have you heard of Piketty?

Most modern econometric tools are.

We may as well make this the Chilean news thread

Here's another joy like that:

Wow, now this game is pure communism.

>post-capitalism
>late capitalism
kek, it's always cracks me up the kind of bullshit pseudo-intellectual terms leftists pull out of their asses.
>>683
It just gets me how you can put that much effort into studying Marxism and making a whole game about it and still come out believing it.
>>726
The ones that study it in-depth and come out supporting it anyways don't do so because they think it's a good system, but because they think it will deliver them to power.
>>683
Don't forget "neoliberalism" and "trickle down economics".

We might as well beat them to it and invent a post-neo-meta-anarcho-liberal-avantgard-anime-capitalism with Somalian characteristics.

Holy based

The Pinochet regime was actually really bad and were shouldn't be supporting them even ironically.

>optics cucking
>>894
>optics isn't important
Bullshit
This is one of the main reasons we are losing.
>>896
The reason we are losing is because the left is ahold of all the power hierarchies, from press to academics.
Optics are not needed when you have everything at your hand, otherwise they wouldn't be turning stores and cars in fire, punch people with bike locks, and vandalize everything in the name of communism and get away with it.
>>896
Optics is important, but you don't need to cuck to be optical. Publicly disavowing Pinochet and pearl-clutching over Pinochet memes shows weakness and won't get you anywhere. However, strategically not talking about Pinochet when the public eye is on you and focusing on things other than helicopter memes is optical, and much more effective. In fact, it may be argued that publicly disavowing Pinochet is less optical than simply not talking about spicy memes--a public disavowal only draws attention to the Pinochet question, and makes people associate you with Pinochet, because you keep talking about him (even if it's a disavowal).

optics is very important
>>896
No amount of optics will save us from their wrath. We can sugarcoat it as much as we want, but (((they)))'re ultimately going to see right through what people like us advocate for, especially seeing how liberally they throw around the label "Nazi", "fascist", “racist”, etc. It's of course important to present a good image (don't intentionally play into negative stereotypes), but we must never dilute the substance of our message in order that it be kosher. No compromises in that regard. If someone is afraid to stand up and declare loud and proud that we must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children I do not want to associate with them. It’s like when people cry about how white vigilantes get their websites and safespaces (((shut down))). It was bound to happen. You can’t expect your enemy to treat you with kiddie gloves forever and leave you comfy.

but i'd still play it
>>959
There's a difference between good optics while still keeping your principles (Ron Paul), and optics cucking (the LP and every left libertarian ever).
Americans are completely retarded and enslaved now. Americans will look you in the eye and say that being closed-minded and embracing Communism is better than learning about the benefits of freedom and the dangers of tyranny. Americans scream that the Gestapo should shoot unarmed Americans in the back and slash tires. Americans swear that the elites don’t want to kill off the 99%, but why do the globalists promote abortion, birth control, suicide, homosexuality, immorality, wars, debt, tyranny, offshoring, illegal immigration, and welfare?
