Just looking at the history of Chile in particular, it's a little hard to make this particular story work! Or just, I would be extremely curious here to hear the precise theory/timeline here for you. Similar theories I have heard always seem to fall back on a kind of kettle logic: communism is cultural invetiability, active external cause, symptom, and then the continual generator of ongoing woes post-mortem; was it the "revolution" itself or the fact they "needed" one? It just usually lacks the kind of rigor and nuance we should expect from historical analysis. But I would hope your idea here isn't so simple?
