The Chilean population couldn't decide or opine about the economical decisions, he was not the ultimate free marketeer, he was the ultimate marketeer, minus the free, because it was an economy imposed without criticism. The ultimate free-marketeer cannot rank high on the Authoritarian scale because he gains control of the macro-economical policy, in the same article Pinochet is said to be put "in a hardcore authoritarian position", a better Chilean ultimate free-marketeer example would be any of the successive governments, like Michelle Bachelet.

In our home page we demolished the myth that authoritarianism is necessarily "right wing", with the examples of Robert Mugabe, Pol Pot and Stalin

Because before visiting this home-page people usually think otherwise? That Stalin was a live and let live libertarian?
