The same broad family. They agree within three points on EC, CU, ID, CH. No axis separates them by eight points or more.

The evidence behind the widest gaps
A distance figure is worth nothing unless the scores behind it can be checked. These are the artefacts supporting the axes that separate these two most.
Milei · SC 00
Coded at zero: federal transfers cut sharply, which decentralises fiscally and centralises power.
- Documented act or statuteDiscretionary transfers to provinces were reduced or halted in 2024.
Pinochet Regime · SC +07
Municipal government converted into an appointment system, with schooling and health devolved to it.
- Documented act or statuteMayors were appointed by the junta while schools and clinics were transferred to municipal administration in 1981.
What this comparison does not establish
Proximity means similarity of stated position. It carries no claim about competence, circumstance, scale of operation, or what either organisation actually did to the people under it. Two organisations can sit close together and produce entirely different histories, because those things are not on any axis and could not be.
La Libertad Avanza
2021– · Argentina
Radical reduction of the state, dollarisation, and a declared war on the political caste.
Pinochet Regime
1973–1990 · Chile
Free-market restructuring imposed by a military junta after the violent overthrow of an elected government.
Distance is not the whole answer. Two organisations can sit the same distance apart for entirely different reasons, and the reason is the content of any claim about them. Open the comparison in the atlas to weight the axes yourself.
