Pinochetism

Official portrait of Augusto Pinochet during the military dictatorship of Chile.

Pinochetism (Spanish: Pinochetismo) is an authoritarian and personalistic political ideology rooted in the military dictatorship led in Chile between 1973 and 1990 by Augusto Pinochet. Ranging from the right-wing[1] to the far-right,[2] Pinochetism is characterised by its anti-communism,[3] conservatism,[4] militarism,[5] and nationalism.[6] Under Pinochet, Chile's economy was placed under the control of a group of Chilean economists known collectively as the Chicago Boys, whose policies have been described by some as neoliberal.[7] Former and current supporters of the dictatorship are known as pinochetistas.
