Chile is Capitalist as fuck and beats it in both ranks you posted, stats can be used either way 

Oh, and what "capitalist" latin america do you mean, Bolivia? Venezuela? Ecuador? 

yeah capitalist like 99% of the rest of the world, there are a lot more capitalist countries who are poorer than Cuba. Chile is barley richer and its only dueto the copper production. Venezuela is lso doing better than the average latin american countries.

"Barely richer" and you are using PPP to compare, using the copper argument and forgetting Venezuela's oil? I think you should just visit South/latin America and compare infrastructure and lifestyle and you could get a better picture. It wouldn't be a bad thing since most of the economic figures thrown by national services in south america are BS (just check Argentina's case)

Everyone can play the same graph game to prove a point

Besides, Pinochet supporters in Chile use the economic growth argument to his favor, doesn't mean he wasn't a fucker who killed thousands of people and tortured others while getting rich by kidnapping the whole government while suppresing political and democratic organization. Same can be said about Fidel, only that he played for the other team.
