Chile in the 1970s

Looking at foreign interference that affected Allende's socialist rule. "His party's reforms undertaken during the early period included redistributing millions of hectares of land to landless agricultural workers as part of the agrarian reform program, giving the armed forces an overdue pay increase, and providing free milk to children. The nationalization of U.S. and other foreign-owned companies led to increased tensions with the United States. As a result, the Richard Nixon administration organized and inserted secret operatives in Chile, in order to quickly destabilize Allende's government." Realpolitik in the Cold War.

yeah the all powerful CIA, so incompetent in Cuba, not even able to keep its own house clean, somehow manages to mastermind the downfall of a supposedly popular president.

the hyperinflation, GDP contraction and otherwise total economic ruin caused by Allende`s ridiculous policies is the real reason for his downfall. he would have been voted out anyways, it`s too bad the army got rid of him first, now the neo-marxists turned a pathetic failure into some kind of martyr.

^ just watch the video... it clearly states that the trucker strike which put chile`s economy to a halt was US financed... the CIA might not have killed allende but US involvement is undeniable

also: 17 years of pinochet`s right wing government have contributed to allende`s `martyr` status far more than any propaganda could

As a Chilean I thank you ShapeSphere for posting this. I endorse every single information in this video because I have seen it in many other references.

What I would like you guys to focus on this video is that what happens in Chile does not give an example if Socialism works or not because clearly it didn`t have a clear shot at it. What you need to focus here is that a country got denied the right to define itself. Like the guy from the urss said so nicely, they were making it happen with the will of the people. Not with an armed force struggle to knock out the top. Similiar thing is happening in Venezuela and I would like to see what results their experimental socialism will give. Time will tell.

Today Chile is divided in three groups. The ones that still want socialism, the ones that don`t want socialism (pro neo-liberalists, USA lovers, fuck our culture lets be northamericans hell yeaers) and the mayority who don`t give a fuck anymore. It`s the ultimate achievement of neo-liberalism, making you apathic to social and political debate. So you become easier to control, to be told what to do.

Kinda sad since at that time the very civilian could`ve overtaken military bases and have something to fight with. But that`s too long of a debate about military tactics. The thing is the daughter of that very same president is ruling and the dictator died a long time ago assasinated in his cozy death bed.
