"...Nixon instructed CIA director Helms that Allende's election was "not acceptable" and ordered the agency to "make the economy scream" and "save Chile," as Helms recorded in his notes."

Common Dreams

Another typical example of conservative Republican ideas about "freedom."

It doesn't matter what the people of Chile want.

It's what corporate America wants.

And they're doing the same shit right now to Bolivia.

Unfortunately, "communism" was/is considered a sufficient excuse for these things. Though it probably has less to do with idealism, and more to deal with economic reality. US profits drop wherever socialism gains a concrete foothold. In the 70's the US had already lost Cuba as a market, and was afraid of loosing South America as well.

FYI: Good reading on this kind of thing is "The Shock Doctrine" by Naomi Klein.
