Calling the 1973 CIA-led coup orderdd by Nixon against Salvador Allende in Chile as a "response to marxist economic mismanagement" tells you all you need to know about neoliberalism and its supporters.

Nothing more _liberal_ than a decade of military junta, book burning, widespread torture and assassinations by death squads, heh?

"General Joaquin Lagos [es] explained why he didn't return the bodies of the 14 executed prisoners of Antofagasta to their families:

I was ashamed to see them. They were torn into pieces. So I wanted to put them together, at least leave them in a human form. Yes, their eyes were gouged out with knives, their jaws broken, their legs broken ... At the end they gave them the coup de grace. They were merciless. "[...] "The prisoners were killed so that they would die slowly. In other words, sometimes they [...] shot them [in] parts: first, the legs, then the sexual organs, then the heart. In that order the machine guns were fired"

"many of the victims had voluntarily turned themselves in to the military authorities, were all in secured military custody and posed no immediate threat because they had no history of violence, nor were threatening to commit any such violence."
