Whatever faults there were with the Allende government, I feel it's pretty wacky to blame him for the atrocities of one of the world's great dictators that followed him. It's a bit like placing the moral blame of a burglary on the homeowner because they left a window open.Allende was as responsible as Pinochet for the mass murders of workers and peasants in Santiago, Valparaiso, Antofogasta and the provinces.
