> US installing a dictator to prevent dictatorship in a democracy has to be the most insane arguments that I keep seeing that makes me question the entire education system!

It worked though. Chile is a democracy now, no communist country is.

Chile was a democracy and US helped overthrow the democracy and install a dictatorship. The citizens managed to resist and recover their democracy after 20 years at a great cost to the country's poor and privatization of Chiles public mineral wealth. Also known as Chiles 9/11. What exactly "worked" here?

Also, are you seriously suggesting that no former communist country is a democracy now? How is this completely random false statement relevant to this discussion?
