Cuba (1961 through revolution) and Chile (1970 through democratic elections)

Chile never got that far. They elected a socialist who was overthrown before they could even collectivize.

True. My first comment was a bit over the top, written from the point of view of US conservatives.

Quote by Kissinger:

"I don't see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist due to the irresponsibility of its people. The issues are much too important for the Chilean voters to be left to decide for themselves."
