    Yes, actually. It was used to force the neoliberal ‘experiment’ onto the population, same as what happened in Chile and in other Latin American countries. Also, a lot of the supporters of the regime, as well as the upper echelons, were composed of capitalists. It’s a textbook example of fascists and the bourgeoisie working together to suppress leftist movements and force unpopular economic policies.
