Post-modernisms refutation of objective truth/fact is to reject thousands of years of painful development of human thought and the basis of science. I can reject the theory of gravity, but it wont stop a 1000m fall killing me.
White terror in Russia was a civil war! The very use of the word peasant means you should delete that from the list. Peasants are feudal subjects. Pinochet, an anti communist dictator, what does that have to do with capitalism?

The Salvadoran peasants were NOT feudal subjects though, they were “peasants” in the sense that they were agrarian proles. Maximiliano Hernández Martínez was a capitalist, not a feudalist.

Sure, White Terror (Russia) was probably more Tsarists anyway. Strike that one from the list, leave the other 3. You know Pinochet was an ARDENT capitalist, right? He was advised by Milton Friedman himself! (who then went on to advise China as they reformed back into capitalism)

Pinochet just hated communism and was an ardent catholic I believe. That said Peru has avoided most of the problems that other South American countries have had like Argentina, Brazil and Venezuela even though it lacks the resources of those countries.
