 Center for Latin American Studies, UC Berkeley
After this brief survey of Chile's political history, Minister Arrate conducted a detailed analysis of the causes and effects of the military coup of 1973, in which Socialist President Salvador Allende was overthrown and Chile's constitutional democracy interrupted -- a hiatus which would endure for seventeen years.
Chile's economy was not only healthy, but also had begun adjusting to a new international economy characterized by increasing trade and investment across borders, two factors which smoothed the process of democratic transition in Chile.
In this session, Arrate provided a succinct description of the economic performance of the Pinochet years (1973-1990) compared to that of the Concertación government (1990-1999), concluding that although Chile introduced important structural reforms of its economy during the authoritarian period, in the final analysis its performance regarding average GDP growth, unemployment, and inflation, was poor.

The Gendarmerie of Chile is in charge of keeping behind bars and annihilating psychologically and physically dozens of social fighters in "high security jails," while hosting in a "five star hotel" a couple of symbolic military fascist criminals, and it has been and is led now by top "socialist" leaders.
The left-wing positions that it has adopted at times were due to their exclusion from the bourgeois government in office or to tactics tending to resolve the problems of hegemony in relation to other bourgeois political formations, such as revisionism, for example.
This was just at the time when two highly explosive elements began to combine: the general dissatisfaction of the workers and the people with the vacillation, paralysis and legalism of the leadership of the UP and the open sabotage of the reactionaries and fascists under the shelter and orders of Yankee imperialism.

 PR: 3.24 -- Lagos Humiliates Chile by Not Standing Tall
Concertación coalition—comprised of several self-serving political parties headed by the Christian Democrats, but also including the Radical Social Democrats, the Socialist Party, and the Party for Democracy—has ruled Chile since the end of the brutal Pinochet dictatorship, with its candidates serving as the country’s presidents since the country came under civilian rule.
This brought Chile to oppose the strategy of the U.S.-led “coalition of the willing,” which was sponsoring the second resolution which eventually was withdrawn due to a lack of votes.
Any claims that Chile’s pending trade agreement with Washington has not been a casualty of the Bush administration’s myopic conception of vengeance as a factor in its international relations, is further undermined by the analogous experience of Singapore.

Seeing democratic socialist success in Chile, large areas in the American empire could try to emulate Allende, which would be the end of the American empire, as there can not be an empire without colonies.
That was the programme of the Socialist Party, which he was the head of.
