	Chile under Allende
		Allende's Socialists -- a somewhat sui generis party made up of social democrats, anarchists and Trotskyites -- were far closer ideologically to Fidel Castro's Cuba, which, by the way, maintained a remarkably outsized diplomatic and military mission in Santiago, and also the principal source of illegal weaponry that poured into Chile during these years.
		Indeed, it is an inconvenient but incontrovertible fact that Chile would have had no independent press at all in the last days of the regime were it not for clandestine financing by the hated CIA.
		Allende failed to deliver Chile to the Soviet fold mainly because Chile had a mature culture of democratic politics, and a substantial middle class which treasured the traditions and institutions of that culture.

	Chile 1964-1973 Kh
		The Allende government, caught between the devil and the deep blue sea, was reluctant to refuse this "assistance" for fear of antagonizing its military leaders.
		Some of the scarcity resulted from Chile being a society in transition: various changeovers to state ownership, experiments in workers' control, etc. But this was minor compared to the effect of the aid squeeze and the practices of the omnipresent American corporations.
		Allende, who was a medical doctor, explained his free milk program by pointing out that "Today in Chile there are over 600,000 children mentally retarded because they were not adequately nourished during the first eight months of their lives, because they did not receive the necessary proteins."

	SALVADOR ALLENDE AND HIS GOVERNMENT (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Allende was often at loggerheads with Congress and Senate, as well as the Supreme Court because he claimed they were against him and "attacking" him.
		Allende as well as most of the parties in the coalition, only saw democracy and law and order as a "burgueois" thing and that socialism had to be implanted as soon as possible.
		Allende would give Presidential Amnesty (like a Presidential pardon) to all those who were leftist guerrillas like FPMR and MAPU and a thousand others under the pretext that they were "idealist youngsters".

	7. The Challenge of Feeding the People: Chile under Allende and Tanzania under Nyerere
		Chile, on the other hand, based its income policy on the fact that it already had a large urban industrialized and highly unionized labor force with a history of social struggle for welfare legislation in the past.
		Chile's principal effort was a vigorous implementation of the existing land reform law and the accelerated development of agricultural cooperatives.
		Chile's attempt at socialism was indeed a peculiar one, "immersed" in a traditional and cumbersome democratic framework with all the tensions that this fact created.

	Chile
		Allende is quoted as saying "Even Bolivar himself once said 'the United States seeks to submerge America in misery in the name of Liberty.
		Chile has the United States to thank for the dictator Pinochet who immediately took over the country and then thousands of people "disappeared" and were presumed dead.
		The brutal Pinochet regime in Chile remained in power for far too many years because of the military coup by the United States and was assisted by the U.S. until only recently, despite massive violations of human rights.

		Chile under Allende had begun to embark cautiously on a socialist path.
		Chile's electoral laws, a legacy of the dictatorship, have seen to it that Right-wing parties have a decisive say in politics.

	Chile Under Allende (1970-73) and Pinochet (1973 ff)
		Salvador Allende's parliamentary socialism was unworkable, partly because he lacked a mandate (a small plurality [36.3%] for President, with Congress in the hands of his opponents), and partly because the radical wing of his coalition would not allow him to take an incremental, moderate approach.
		Chile's aggressive "War of the Pacific" (1879-83) won her the nitrate and mineral-rich northern deserts (25 to 18 degrees South) from Bolivia and Peru.
		Allende's supporters tried to spin their 44% of the vote as an improvement over the 1970 Presidential race, but not very convincingly: the opposition still polled a 56% majority.

	Equipo Nizkor - Covert Action in Chile 1963-1973
		Chile had the extensive bureaucratic infrastructure to plan and administer a national development program; moreover, its history of popular support for Socialist, Communist and other leftist parties was perceived in Washington as flirtation with communism.
		Allende's public announcements indicated his intention, if elected, to nationalize basic industries and to bring under Chilean ownership service industries such as the national telephone company, which was at that time a subsidiary of ITT.
		The Chile case demonstrates that in at least one instance, the so-called Track II activity, the President instructed the CIA not to inform nor coordinate this activity with the Departments of State or Defense or the ambassador in the field.

	How the CIA Took Aim at Allende (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Under orders from President Richard M. Nixon, the CIA mounted a full-tilt covert operation to keep Allende from taking office and, when that failed, undertook subtler efforts to undermine him.
		Chile is still trying to come to terms with the damage done to its democratic institutions.
		It provoked Allende to complain on 13 October, "We are suffering the most brutal and horrible pressure, both domestic and international," singling out Time in particular as having "openly called" for an invasion of Chile.

		Their stories touch on Chile's history, economic conditions, the worker movement under Allende, the Chilean women's movement, repression after the coup and commitment to the new Chilean revolution.
		In 1970, before Allende took office, chief of the Chilean General Staff, General Rene Schneider, was seen by Kissinger and Nixon as an obstacle to their schemes for preventing Allende from being inaugurated as president of Chile.
		With a Washington D.C. trial looming in 2002 (sparked by the relatives of the deceased) Henry Kissinger is accused of organizing the CIA to kidnap General Schneider, the Commander of the Chilean Army.

	Hit and Run
		Chile had a couple of decades of democratic elections up to that point, so the odds might be seen in favor of a peaceful transition via election in 1976.
		inflation was insane, allende was making nice with fidel, who came to chile to publically state that freedom of speech and the press were bourgeois conceits (or something equally idiotic), and i remember allende as being quoted that for "the revolution" to work, democratic freedoms would have to take a back seat.
		Comment by: Jesse Walker at December 14, 2004 10:28 AM Chile might have done better to follow the example of the Czechs and others who haven't tried to too severely punish the members of the former regime except by bringing their crimes to light and - gasp, the naivete - public shaming.

	Battle of Chile
		Chile owed the US money, the copper etc. was a means of negotiating that debt.
		To show their support of Allende, the copper miners partied like it was Mardi Gras downtown for three months not producing any copper and ruining the Chilean economy for almost eternity.
		Allende seems like a pretty smart guy and he must have been shaking his head thinking "Boy my constituents are dumb silly yahoos!" The strike cost Chile 46 million by June 28th.

	MIT Western Hemisphere Project: Michael Zezima on Henry Kissinger & Chile
		Cleverly manipulated to fear the “blood and pain” of “godless, atheist communism,” the mothers of Chile voted against the man who promised to “redistribute income and reshape the … economy” through the nationalization of some major industries, like copper mining, and the expansion of agrarian reform.
		A far cry from Leninism, Allende’s policy of “eurocommunism,” i.e., communists linking with social democratic parties into a united front, was for the most part, as unacceptable to the Kremlin as it was to the White House.
		Allende’s socialism was pitted against what was later called a “prototype or laboratory experiment to test the techniques of heavy financial investment in an effort to discredit and bring down a government.” This clash would reach its climax on Sept. 11, 1973.

	Chile: Two Visions, The Allende-Pinochet Era by Karen Araujo and Paul Craig Roberts - Home page of Hermógenes ...
		It covers Chileans' repudiation of the Allende government three years later and their call to the military to intervene after the August 1973 congressional censure of Allende failed to stop Allende or convince him to resign.
		By winter 1973, Chileans were desperate, as famine loomed in Chile and disorder reigned in the streets.
		The book tells the story of the 1980 constitution, drafted by civilians under the military government, designed to strengthen Chile's democracy and make it impossible for another dictator to arise, while laying the foundation for secure private property and a thriving free market economy.

	New York Times Reactions to the Election of Salvador Allende
		Now it is fairly easy for one to predict that if Allende wins, there is a good chance that he will establish over a period of years some sort of communist government.
		In that case, we would have one not on an island off the coast (Cuba) which has not a traditional relationship and impact on Latin America, but in a major Latin American country you would have a communist government, joining, for example, Argentine...
		So I don't think we should delude ourselves that an Allende takeover in Chile would not present massive problems for us, and for democratic forces and for pro-U.S. forces in Latin America, and indeed to the whole Western Hemisphere.

		One angle focuses on repression and dictatorial regimes, such as Chile under Pinochet (1973-1990), Argentina during the "dirty war" (1976-1983), and Guatemala and El Salvador in the 1980s and 1990s.
		The other perspective covers socialist experiments in Chile under Allende (1970-1973), Nicaragua during the Sandinista regime (1979-1990), and Cuba after the revolution in 1959.
		A case in point is the vast collection on Nicaragua during the Sandinista regime and a special collection about Chile under Allende and Pinochet.

	History of Chile under Salvador Allende and the Popular Unity
		As his iron-fisted rule from 1973 to 1990 was ending, General Pinochet designed for himself a position of legal immunity against criminal charges under Chilean law and had thus been serving in Chile's congress as an honored and non-elected "Senator for life" since 1998.
		But now, after his ill-fated trip to Great Britain, the wall of immunity that Pinochet had built around himself and his collaborators in the Chilean military appears to be collapsing.
		This massive compilation covers the period from September of 1970 to September 1973, including the actual news as it was reported by different newspapers in Chile on an almost daily basis.
