There wasn't anything stellar about his economic policies and he was responsible for high inflation, high crime rate, and failure to meaningfully close the wealth gap. Brazil is a pretty good example of this but I dunno if you can reasonably call them anti-Americans anymore. I think they still have serious issues and grievances with the US but they openly trade and do business with us so... They're pretty much the best example of what can happen when a socialist Latin American country decides they don't want to isolate themselves from the biggest economic power in the world. | ||

He was a thorn in the side of the American Hegemony which fuels my voraciously insatiable American appetites. Rot in Hell he would dare upset my luxurious American lifestyle, ROT IN HELL! | ||

His attempt was on 4 February 1992. The "alleged" coup against him was in 2002. | ||

Surely I didn't share many of his political views and wouldn't want to have lived under his government, but his presence surely improved global political discussions. | ||
