The Economist backed the fascist dictator, Pinochet, and claimed any suggestion of US involvement ‘absurd’, as he overthrew the social democratic government of Allende, in the 1973, CIA-orchestrated, military coup in Chile.
They described Pinochet’s fascist regime as a ‘military technocratic government that will try to knit the social fabric that the Allende government tore apart’.
Today, The Economist, and the rest of the media, does similar re Bolivia, where a left-wing government has just been ousted in a US-backed coup, replaced by a far-right, neoliberal, racist regime.
Fascism is a means by which capitalism can be enforced, and capitalist media will invert the truth and support it when necessary.
