Now, if you think "Chile" had a small government from the 1970s to the 1980s, you're a regime supporter, you're full of ****, or you're ****ing moron. Considering Milton Freedman's academic career, I doubt he was a moron, so he either supported it or he was full of ****. The choices are yours.
Where did Milton Friedman or anyone at the Chicago School of Economics support big government of any sort? That ridiculous statement is something only a socialist could like.

The first years of the regime were marked by human rights violations. On October 1973, at least 72 people were murdered by the Caravan of Death.[48] According to the Rettig Report and Valech Commission, at least 2,115 were killed,[49] and at least 27,265 [50] were tortured (including 88 children younger than 12 years old).[50] A new Constitution was approved by a controversial plebiscite on 11 September 1980, and General Pinochet became president of the republic for an 8-year term.
