So don''t give me this rightwing/leftwing crap and state the facts. Yeah, leftwings are experts in "adapting" the history to their convenience, but rightwings are good at screwing up and repeating history. Mexico has a relationship with Cuba but you don''t see them turning red anytime soon. Just because he had a friendly relationship with Cuba does not mean anything. There is no proof that states that Allende wanted to create another new Cuba. There was no cheating, he won in a free democratic election. In the Chilean constitution, if a candidate does not have majority vote, then congress will vote and they voted for Allende. Allende did have 36% of the votes, but the christian democrats had 34.9%. Good read unless your name is Walter Cooper CortesĪllende was part of the socialist party that was running against the christian democrats. Also available in English ( Chile: The Other September 11 1-87) Included are articles, speeches and poems by Ariel Dorfman, Salvador Allende, Joan Jara, Beatriz Allende, Pablo Neruda, Victor Jara, Mario Benedetti and Fidel Castro. Amidst the flood of books on 9-11, the editors remind us that September 11 is the anniversary of another horrendous event-General Pinochet's coup in 1973 against the democratically elected Allende government.
