 Hey this is Zoe from People's Dispatch. I'm here in Santiago, Chile in the municipality of Recoleta. We're here at the closing act of the Dilemmas of Humanity Conference, the Latin American Caribbean regional conference that took place here in Santiago. It was three days of debates, of discussions, and of deep reflections amongst over 200 members of social movements, trade unions, and left parties from across Latin America and the Caribbean. There were over 23 countries represented in this conference bringing reflections about what it means to build socialism today in the 21st century. What are the key challenges actually to building the socialism? What does it mean to have a plural, diverse socialism today in Latin America? And what are the biggest threats really facing the region? Socialism is fighting directly against hierarchy. You can't build socialism if you have a racist society. You can't build socialism with patriarchy. Socialism as patriarchy is insanity. It doesn't work. You've got to fight against social hierarchy. You've got to build a dignified world. The focus was, of course, on building solutions, on building collective solutions, on solutions that unite the peoples of the America and the working class. Very, very interesting debates, and these debates are all going to be brought to the International Dilemmas of Humanity Conference that will be held in Johannesburg, South Africa in the month of October. A very interesting process that tries to bring in intellectuals, artists, and other sectors of society with the idea that it is no longer the moment to do diagnosis, but it's really the moment to build solutions. I think in the collective life, socialism is about rescuing the collective life from alienation, from the feeling of alienation, atomization. And this conference, of course, is very important to remember that it takes place at the 50th anniversary of the coup against Alvora Allende in Chile. Of course, many of us remember this date, September 11th, 1973, a coup against a popular government, the popular unity government, actually. A coup which took Alvora Allende, where he lost his life, and started a period of a brutal, brutal dictatorship. Thousands of people detained and disappeared. A regime of human rights violations, of rewriting the Constitution, of taking away people's fundamental rights. A problem that Chile is still grappling with today, 50 years since this coup d'etat. Today, September 4th, is actually the 53rd anniversary of the victory of Alvora Allende and its popular unity government in the elections. And so today, remembering that victory, remembering the 50 years of the coup, very, very important date, not only for the people of Chile, but of course the people of Latin America and of the entire world. There's a natural mistake blowing in the air. If you listen carefully, now you will hear a trumpet. Might as well suffer. Many don't ask me why. Don't ask me why. The dilemmas of humanity process is going to be continuing. We'll be continuing to follow it with people's dispatch and we'll be on the ground, of course, in Johannesburg, South Africa, in a month's time.
