chile and thailand are somewhat different examples, as pinochet is the result of cold-war superpower politics where proxies were used instead of europe as a battlefield. your talk of privilege and pinochet betrays a particular bias from the outset.
just so we get this straight; your working hypothesis is that right-wing people would hold doing what is 'right' to be more important than 'democracy' from the point of view of internal governance? let me firmly state that if this is the position then i as a right wing person am firmly on the side of representative government (by which you may read "democracy").
