    Following a March 1977 coup, the Argentine military killed or disappeared as many as 30,000 citizens. The Process for National Reorganization targeted not just suspected left-wing militants but students, intellectuals, writers, journalists, social workers, and labor organizers. As General Videla asserted, “A terrorist is not just someone with a gun or a bomb, but someone who spreads ideas that are contrary to Western and Christian civilization.” The military abducted thousands from their homes, many of whom were subjected to torture, drugged, and thrown from airplanes over the Atlantic. The Dirty War allows for new reflections on state political violence as extreme right-wing movements surge around the world.
