The rebirth of social democracy in South America is a direct revolt against the imperialist policies of the USA under Eisenhower (via Dulles), Nixon, and Reagan.

It's about time. The power, as well as economic opportunity should be in the hands of the people, and not a few global corporate criminals. The threat of calvinism has been minimized on the continent.

Dont forget the RAT KISSINGER's role in this bloodbath. Old Heinz has caused a lot of death in his miserable days on this planet. Fortunately we will see his funeral soon and then he will certainly face God's judgment.

Allende violated the constitution for his Soviet masters FIRST

Allende betrayed the congress who elected president FIRST

Allende armed urban guerrillas and freed left wing convicts from jail FIRST

Allende took the land and companies from Chileans themselves FIRST

Allende is the cause Pinochet the effect. Eventually the USSR crumbled along with their bloc, so Chile right now would be like N.Korea or Cuba. Poor and oppressed instead they are now doing great. Thank God and Pinochet

@noprofitmaximierung ....As History have teach you the hard way.....There are individuals that are TOO DANGEROUS TO BE LEFT ALIVE... The inaction of Salvador Allende not only brought his dead but the dead and suffering of way to many innocent people. Unfortunately that is reality....

@Darealwhip That is not what we socialists are.

Enlightening and thought provoking. Content like this should be required viewing in any and all politics 101 courses.

Assassination and murder are the stock and trade of the CIA and the US Government. Americans are brainwashed into thinking that Americans are the good guys. Foolish Americans. ! Pinochet finally got his, but the CIA continues unscathed., and unabated and now Americans are prisoners in their own country.

How bizarre hearing the Irish language. That has completely done my head in. Irish and spanish with English subtitles. Chile? Once anyone propagates socialism the USA will back anyone. Scary!
