Venezuela was the second most prosperous, granted it was corrupt. But Chavez fixed that with a healthy dose of socialism. Not the corruption, the prosperity.
CIA has not cared in the least about socialism in Latin America since the fall of USSR. In fact, US is itself is now highly socialistic. Only 30-40% of Chile voted for Allende. US does disapprove of Maduro’s government, which has destroyed Venezuela, but has done very little to oppose Maduro.
As a matter of fact, the level of inequality in Chile has declined since 1990. The Gini coefficient was 57.3 in 1990 and declined to 44.4 by 2019. To be sure, the society needs to be much more equal than it is. But, for 30 years, the trend was in the right direction.
Certainly, the inequality in Chile has declined. Matter of fact, The Chilean institutions, based on the 80's Constitution work in order Neoliberal doctrine of a "subsidiary state". Setting natural conditions for those who have the ingress to success in the nation, while poor only can get into debt to live. The evolution of family's debt and income evolution in families depending their social-economical status are both prove that the trend you think is wrong. Plus, Gini coefficent in Chile is unsuitable in its measurement, because the data is provided by CASEN, an institution that can't really identify 1% richest wealth. It's not my intention to offend, and I don't know if you're chilean like me. But chilean reality is clear once you get here. Also, if you think I'm wrong, I'll be glad to debate.

But it was inside a neoliberal system. The changes occur in some areas of the populations life, with compensatory policies, much like in Brazil, where the Lula's government use social spending to fight unequallity, but it just brings momentaneous change, nothing that can resist a economical crisis.
Al Jazeera in Arabic: Islamic fascism is cool and more conservative and despotic than Muhammad himself. Al Jazeera in English: Socialism is cool and super progressive. No hypocrisy here nothing to worry about.

The main reason is that he hasn't been able to deliver on his promises. Unfortunately part of this is because he took office right as the pandemic started, and that the majority conservative house and senate have been doing their best to block every single move he and his cabinet have attempted. He's the right person for Chile, but terrible timing my country picked to put him in power. I hope he wins the re-election when he gets a chance; per Chilean law, presidents can only be elected twice, but cannot serve consecutive years; so he can run again in 2028.

Families that place value on education should not be forced into public schools with families that reduce the educational experience of their children. Who you surround yourself with will ultimately determine who you become as a person.

Inflation was up by 100s even in 1972. Socialism never works and if it does only for a limited time until people realize they can not work and get the Same benefits as everyone else. The economy of Chile was in the bottom 3 of Latin America or even the world I believe in early 1970s, and today, with their capitalist society since 1975, is in the top 3 of Latin countries. The government was dictator like sure, but only until 1990, and today it is going pretty well.
Haha neo liberalism works. If this is what a dictator achieves imagine what a real neo liberalist would achieve. Socialism is the worst just look at venenzuela north korea and cuba. Students like socialism because they do not have yet handled a real job. Once they start to work they throw socialist ideas down the bin. And love capitalism. These students rallying for price increases. You cannot even protest in communist countries
Closer to the Western-European kind of Socialism than the Asian kind. But anyhow Chilean society has kept quite politically balanced and civilized since the return of democracy in 1990, and as such we have learnt that moderation and peace-keeping is the most economically successful method of governing for us
The actual system gave Chile the best standard of living in south america. Better than eastern EU countries that came out of socialism. As eastern europe advance, chile is turning backwards.
They never will, it would make Al Jazeera look even dumber than they look now lmao, either they keep silent over the current shitshow or they twist it into blaming "Capitalism" and "America" as the culprit somehow lol
I think enshrining a capitalistic system into Chile via its constitution was probably the best thing that they could have ever done. Look at its neighbor Argentina, people there constantly vote leftists into government and its a complete disaster. Pinochet was a brutal dictator but leaning too far into socialism in a country that is not yet high income is a recipe for a catastrophe orders of magnitude worse than Pinochet (i.e Venezuela, Cuba, Argentina). Chile is the least corrupt, most prosperous country in Latin America by a mile, I wouldn't risk that by trying to transform its economic system. There has never been a Latin American country that has shown restraint with Left Wing policies and pursued Social Democracy like in Europe, because nepotism and corruption wins out and makes everyone poorer and less free.

Ask a Chiliean. This video is super biased. Chileans don't even know if the guaton( fat man) will finish his presidency. While the country is on the verge of a civil war in the region of Auracania guess what he did? He let someone else call a state of emergency and went book shopping in Argentina. The video also speaks badly of previous goverments but Chile managed to get their country vaccinated a full 6 months before the rest of latin america! In Chile you get to choose to choose between private hospitals and public ones and both are affordable. Compare that to Mexico or countries where health care is free but you die on the waiting list and are treated as a mere hindrace to a doctor's schedule.

The things are getting worse since Gabriel won. Companies are declaring bankruptcy, the salaries declined dramatically, and you can’t walk in the nights without worries. As a Chilean who lived in Peru and Colombia, I can say that Chile has declined near to Medellin and Lima levels.
Chile became the richest country in Latin America through neoliberalism and not just for the rich. It was easily the nicest place to live in latin america for the common person. It had the hughest standard of living and has since been squandering it with socialist policies.
"Chile became the richest country in Latin America through neoliberalism and not just for the rich" Why are you lying?

Y algunas propuestas durante el proceso estaban a nivel de regulación de precios, sistemas soviéticos, llevar preso a un ex presidente, sist de pensiones de reparto que no da a bastó por obvias razones etarias, etc 6)esta lista puede seguir
I want to clarify Allende was not a good guy whatosever, he armed local leftist miltias and formed a group of "special friends" which would back him entirely in his entire regime, chilean inflation skyrocketed and Allende started mass violence and persecution campaigns against local enterprises and massive expropriation processes of international companies in Chile, with mass lines of food shortages and the chilean economy declining, he was one of the worst presidents latin america ever had, and if he had lasted longer in power I cannot imagine what else the chilean people had to pass through under the reign of a president which was slowly cementing himself into power and making himself an autoritarian one.
They’ve been economically stagnant and in decline since 2013. I just looked up a world bank GDP per capita chart. Yeah the wealthy tend to own most of the industry but that’s because they own it, they don’t manage it directly, they don’t make the product directly, some of them or their fathers, make the product directly, and the sons and daughters expand the business. The wealth isn’t cash, it’s a representation of the valuation of the company they built up or maintain, including researchers Vineyard workers and fine China makers.
The worst part is that they portrate Allende as a good person that was "fixing" the country or was some sort of hero, but in reality he just ruined Chile´s economy.
It's sadly not the case. Those citizens writing it cuadrupuled their salary and live now very luxurious lives. Expect corruption to be infiltrated in the new constitution
"Workers of my country, I have faith in Chile and its destiny. Other men will overcome this dark and bitter moment when treason seeks to prevail. Keep in mind that, much sooner than later, the great avenues will again be opened through which will pass free men to construct a better society. Long live Chile!" His last words have come to pass...
He is responsible for many tortures, missing persons, and death. He worked with a former Nazi officer Paul Shafer to run "Colonia dignedad." Is he still your hero?
As a chilean is obvious that is a superficial view from a foreigner, There is a huge problem with the new constitution being too ambigous with law. And like making it simple, the constitution divides two types of people. Chilean and indigineeous people, making the mapuche more important as people than the chileans, It would be interesting you to analyse that situation.
Look, as a Chilean myself and admittedly I don't read most of the news of the constitutional process because I know scandals and stuff will continue to happen, so it will be much useful to read the final draft, read different expert takes on it and then to make a judgment, if this constitution will be beneficial or not, and what my vote will be. Now, because of that, I don't know precisely what have been pass or not, besides catching some broad headlines on newspapers. But let me tell you what I know, because a group of people have more explicit consideration on the law, just one way to put it, it often just means to that group to be treated with the same level of respect that the rest of the population always enjoyed. It means that often because laws or/and policy, the group of people is not treated the same, even thou laws may not say explicitly to discriminate certain groups(sometimes outright says it) but the result is basically the same. This is seen clearly on the laws and policies, that go from explicit to implicit on more of a century, on the case of sexism or racism on the US and other countries. So the most effective method to protect and help this groups, is to make explicit laws to first guarantee their basic rights and second help them to get on the same level as the rest, because there are plenty of studies that demonstrate poorly economic situations from past generations, specifically product of State policies, will significantly affect the wealth of the present generation and future generation. So, governments need to have active action, the laws aren't meant to have certain groups more privileges than the rest, it's meant to give that group a fair shot to catch up. Again, I don't know exactly what have been pass to the final draft of the Constitution, I think I remember the creation of new institutions like a Native Trial, which I would be inclined to agree, but all depend how is written. Other thing super important, it's how the transition laws will be written. Anyways, I'm happy to continue discuss the topy if you want to, like if you want the papers to back up my claims, it shouldn't take me long to to find them again, or if you have some proof that contradicts some of my points I'd be very interested on looking into it. Ah, and of course we can talk in Spanish. Saludos.
Terrible video, Im chilean and u interviewd only socialist people, u can notice how they probably voted for boric, they change the real story, Kast isn't ''pinochetista'', he has said that many times, his grandfather wasn´t nazi, he was a soldier for the germans during world war 2, he was forced to fight by germany if they didnt kill him. Kast ain´t from the far right party, he´s from the Republican Party which is from the right. 80's constitution from Chile made during Pinochet's governament has made the country grow during the last 40 years, becoming the most developed country in south america and one of the richest in the region. That constitution was even changed during Ricardo Lagos' governament, changing many of the articels of the 80's constitution. You can even watch on youtube interviews of Jose Antonio Kast he has told his familiar story on tv programs many times.
How Socialists won in Chile? They ditched their own candidate, then they followed the new left movement, and then they hijacked the new government (a government which was supposed to represent a new left movement ended up being a traditional socialist government). Socialist were part of the first government after Pinochet in 1990. They were also part on the following government (1994-2000). The next Chilean president was a socialist, and was also followed by a socialist (Michelle Bachelet), who ruled from 2006 to 2010, and then from 2014 to 2018. The current Chilean president is NOT a socialist. “The constitution stopped them from challenging the country’s economic system”… What are you trying to say with that statement? How can a constitution stop you from trying something? That does not make sense. THEY WANTED TO KEEP THE SYSTEM. Socialists kept the economic system, they benefited from it, and they reduced poverty IN MORE THAN 30%: In 1990, the percentage of people living in poverty in Chile was 38.6%. In 2013 the percentage of people living in poverty in Chile was 7.8%.
They haven´t reduced anything, in 2019 everything started because of a higher price at the subway (of only 30CLP which was less than dolar at that time, even less than a cent). Everything was organized by the Communist Party of Chile and the Bolivarian Revolution who took place in Venezuela. After "fighting for the people" during 2019 asking for a new system completely inspired by the marxist ideology, Gabriel Boric fought for the presidency during 2021 against José Antonio Kast, a right politician, but after Boric calling him nazi and extreme right (Gabriel used populism against Kast). Boric won the elections by lying to the people and after everything, the prices are already so much higher than before just in a few months. Socialists didn´t reduced poberty, the economic way of Augusto Pinochet (The Chicago Boys) reduced poberty and that´s how Chle became one of the best countries in South America, actually, the best in growing economy. During that time of 1990 to 2013 everything was measured by the constitution of Pinochet, after the changes of the "NO Vote" that was just for Pinochet leaving the presidency (After he offered to give back democracy, exactly). So all the changes of poberty, inflation and PIb were made by the right politicians. (One of them "Jaime Guzmán" was killed by the lefties during 1991.)

As a matter of fact, the level of inequality in Chile has declined since 1990. The Gini coefficient was 57.3 in 1990 and declined to 44.4 by 2019. To be sure, the society needs to be much more equal than it is. But, for 30 years, the trend was in the right direction.
Certainly, the inequality in Chile has declined. Matter of fact, The Chilean institutions, based on the 80's Constitution work in order Neoliberal doctrine of a "subsidiary state". Setting natural conditions for those who have the ingress to success in the nation, while poor only can get into debt to live. The evolution of family's debt and income evolution in families depending their social-economical status are both prove that the trend you think is wrong. Plus, Gini coefficent in Chile is unsuitable in its measurement, because the data is provided by CASEN, an institution that can't really identify 1% richest wealth.

Look at its neighbor Argentina, people there constantly vote leftists into government and its a complete disaster. Pinochet was a brutal dictator but leaning too far into socialism in a country that is not yet high income is a recipe for a catastrophe orders of magnitude worse than Pinochet (i.e Venezuela, Cuba, Argentina).
Chile is the least corrupt, most prosperous country in Latin America by a mile, I wouldn't risk that by trying to transform its economic system. There has never been a Latin American country that has shown restraint with Left Wing policies and pursued Social Democracy like in Europe, because nepotism and corruption wins out and makes everyone poorer and less free.

As a chilean is obvious that is a superficial view from a foreigner, There is a huge problem with the new constitution being too ambigous with law. And like making it simple, the constitution divides two types of people. Chilean and indigineeous people, making the mapuche more important as people than the chileans, It would be interesting you to analyse that situation.
Look, as a Chilean myself and admittedly I don't read most of the news of the constitutional process because I know scandals and stuff will continue to happen, so it will be much useful to read the final draft, read different expert takes on it and then to make a judgment, if this constitution will be beneficial or not, and what my vote will be.
Now, because of that, I don't know precisely what have been pass or not, besides catching some broad headlines on newspapers. But let me tell you what I know, because a group of people have more explicit consideration on the law, just one way to put it, it often just means to that group to be treated with the same level of respect that the rest of the population always enjoyed. It means that often because laws or/and policy, the group of people is not treated the same, even thou laws may not say explicitly to discriminate certain groups(sometimes outright says it) but the result is basically the same.
This is seen clearly on the laws and policies, that go from explicit to implicit on more of a century, on the case of sexism or racism on the US and other countries.
So the most effective method to protect and help this groups, is to make explicit laws to first guarantee their basic rights and second help them to get on the same level as the rest, because there are plenty of studies that demonstrate poorly economic situations from past generations, specifically product of State policies, will significantly affect the wealth of the present generation and future generation. So, governments need to have active action, the laws aren't meant to have certain groups more privileges than the rest, it's meant to give that group a fair shot to catch up.
Again, I don't know exactly what have been pass to the final draft of the Constitution, I think I remember the creation of new institutions like a Native Trial, which I would be inclined to agree, but all depend how is written. Other thing super important, it's how the transition laws will be written.
Anyways, I'm happy to continue discuss the topy if you want to, like if you want the papers to back up my claims, it shouldn't take me long to to find them again, or if you have some proof that contradicts some of my points I'd be very interested on looking into it. Ah, and of course we can talk in Spanish.
Saludos.
RIP Chile
Easier to say you’re a N*zi
Cierra la boca. No sé si seas chileno o no, pero aunque lo seas, burlandote de un pais sólo te ves infantil. Das pena.
Thanks Allende... Thanks Boric.... Long live socialism! Long Live the working class! Long live Chile!
No simplemente No
Not even 3 months after he's in charge and Boric's approval ratings dropped to 24%
Terrible video, Im chilean and u interviewd only socialist people, u can notice how they probably voted for boric, they change the real story, Kast isn't ''pinochetista'', he has said that many times, his grandfather wasn´t nazi, he was a soldier for the germans during world war 2, he was forced to fight by germany if they didnt kill him. Kast ain´t from the far right party, he´s from the Republican Party which is from the right. 80's constitution from Chile made during Pinochet's governament has made the country grow during the last 40 years, becoming the most developed country in south america and one of the richest in the region. That constitution was even changed during Ricardo Lagos' governament, changing many of the articels of the 80's constitution. You can even watch on youtube interviews of Jose Antonio Kast he has told his familiar story on tv programs many times.
How Socialists won in Chile? They ditched their own candidate, then they followed the new left movement, and then they hijacked the new government (a government which was supposed to represent a new left movement ended up being a traditional socialist government).
Socialist were part of the first government after Pinochet in 1990. They were also part on the following government (1994-2000). The next Chilean president was a socialist, and was also followed by a socialist (Michelle Bachelet), who ruled from 2006 to 2010, and then from 2014 to 2018.
The current Chilean president is NOT a socialist.
“The constitution stopped them from challenging the country’s economic system”… What are you trying to say with that statement?
How can a constitution stop you from trying something? That does not make sense. THEY WANTED TO KEEP THE SYSTEM.
Socialists kept the economic system, they benefited from it, and they reduced poverty IN MORE THAN 30%:
In 1990, the percentage of people living in poverty in Chile was 38.6%. In 2013 the percentage of people living in poverty in Chile was 7.8%.
They haven´t reduced anything, in 2019 everything started because of a higher price at the subway (of only 30CLP which was less than dolar at that time, even less than a cent).
Everything was organized by the Communist Party of Chile and the Bolivarian Revolution who took place in Venezuela.
After "fighting for the people" during 2019 asking for a new system completely inspired by the marxist ideology, Gabriel Boric fought for the presidency during 2021 against José Antonio Kast, a right politician, but after Boric calling him nazi and extreme right (Gabriel used populism against Kast). Boric won the elections by lying to the people and after everything, the prices are already so much higher than before just in a few months.
Socialists didn´t reduced poberty, the economic way of Augusto Pinochet (The Chicago Boys) reduced poberty and that´s how Chle became one of the best countries in South America, actually, the best in growing economy.
During that time of 1990 to 2013 everything was measured by the constitution of Pinochet, after the changes of the "NO Vote" that was just for Pinochet leaving the presidency (After he offered to give back democracy, exactly). So all the changes of poberty, inflation and PIb were made by the right politicians. (One of them "Jaime Guzmán" was killed by the lefties during 1991.)
@@facu4245 theres a wide spectrum between left and right lol
