Why am I crying in the club rnCrazy that workers in 70s Chile were more educated about history, economics, and imperialism than the self-proclaimed more enlightened, progressive, educated people of today. This very ignorance about history and politics is why this keeps happening over and over again, and why it's currently happening in Bolivia and Venezuela. These supposedly more educated people lap up any imperialist propaganda about these countries.This documentary does a wonderful job at highlighting all the usual tactics in the regime change playbook.At this definitive moment, the last moment when I can address you, I wish you to take advantage of the lesson: foreign capital, imperialism, together with the reaction, created the climate in which the Armed Forces broke their tradition, the tradition taught by General Schneider and reaffirmed by Commander Araya, victims of the same social sector who today are hoping, with foreign assistance, to re-conquer the power to continue defending their profits and their privileges.Salvador Allende's Last Speechen.wikisource.org/wiki/Salvador_Allende%27s_Last_Speech

En el momento en que mencionaron a Pinochet, se me pusieron los pelos de punta. Es como cuando te hablan del villano más sádico de una película, cuyo nombre te hace temblar. La única y trágica diferencia es que este no es un personaje de ficción.Esta segunda parte continúa con los eventos que llevaron al golpe de Estado. Las luchas entre las oposiciones, una huelga de choferes y camioneros, y las maquinaciones dentro del gobierno por partes de siniestros que buscan hacerse con el poder. Vemos cómo se busca llegar a un acuerdo, pero esto resulta fútil, obvio, de nuevo, teniendo en cuenta las intenciones de la oposición. Todo esto desemboca en el infame 11 de septiembre, donde estallan los primeros indicios de la violenta guerra civil, muchos de estos apoyados por los gringos en la CIA.--------The moment they mentioned Pinochet, I got goosebumps. It's like when they talk to you about the most sadistic villain in a movie whose name makes you tremble. The only tragic difference is that this is not a fictional character.This second installment continues with the events that led to the coup d'état. The struggles between the opposition groups, a strike by drivers and truckers, and the machinations within the government by sinister elements seeking to seize power. We see how they try to reach an agreement, but this proves futile, obviously, again, considering the intentions by the opposition. All of this culminates in the infamous September 11, where the first signs of the violent civil war erupt, much of it supported by the CIA.TODAY SCHEDULEThe Battle of Chile: Part 1The Battle of Chile: Part 2The Battle of Chile: Part 3Apuntes sobre la tortura y otras formas de dialogosSantiago, Italia

Tienen la fuerza, podrán avasallarnos, pero no se detienen los procesos sociales ni con el crimen… ni con la fuerza. La historia es nuestra y la hacen los pueblos.El pueblo debe defenderse, pero no sacrificarse. El pueblo no debe dejarse arrasar ni acribillar, pero tampoco puede humillarse.Trabajadores de mi patria: tengo fe en Chile y su destino. Superarán otros hombres este momento gris y amargo, donde la traición pretende imponerse. Sigan ustedes sabiendo que, mucho más temprano que tarde, de nuevo abrirán las grandes alamedas por donde pase el hombre libre para construir una sociedad mejor.
