 Salvador Allende
Allende was not an ardent Marxist but an outspoken critic of capitalism, which made him deeply unpopular within the administrations of successive U.S. presidents, from John F. Kennedy to Richard Nixon.
Allende's implementation of these policies led to strong opposition by landowners, some middle-class sectors, the rightist National Party, the Roman Catholic Church (which was displeased with the direction of educational policy), and eventually the Christian Democrats.
Allende's policies in Chile and abroad didn't follow those of the Soviet Union, and Allende's Government was the first in South America to recognize the People's Republic of China, then the main adversary of the Soviet Union; in August 1968, as President of he Chilean Senate, he condemned the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia.

The day after Schneider died the paper quoted Aniceto Rodriguez, the secretary-general of "Dr. Allende's Socialist party," as identifying, "in a vaguely worded" statement, "`the CIA as the moral author'" of the Schnieder assassination.

Future declassified documents would reveal that the U.S. had been anything but aloof during the election, and that Aniceto Rodriguez was entirely accurate in his accusations.
