Yes, and they did so because Allende broke an agreement with them (brokered by the US) on how Kennecott and other mines would be nationalized. By 1972, the Chilean state already owned 51% of the Chilean subsidiary of Kennecott.
Have you studied the working conditions of Chilean copper miners in Chile in the years before Allende came to power?
You either side with these exploitative punitive and highly unjust labor practices or you do not agree.
Allende did not believe in the complete nationalization of all industries. He actually liked a mixed economy. Some nationalizing and some privatization according to what made the most sense to create worker stability and growth.
But? Nixon and Kissinger (literally said that why should democratic votes stand in the way of their plans to topple Allende because the Chilean voters were making the mistake of choosing a Marxist-leaning president). It does not ever enter in their heads that Chile is not the US. If they want a Marxist in charge the US has no right to topple him because he wants a mixed economy. He would be considered your average EU socialist liberal nowadays.
All that fallout happened because the US was fearful of the domino effect of all of South America going Commie. They were total asshole fearmongering people with that shit theory.
Vietnam had to be eradicated and erased from Commies because that meant the PRC, and so on would mean that all of Asia would go rogue Commie and the menace of Communism was imminent. Fuck, if Capitalism was so perfect and strong and the Commies suck and are weak why all this fucking paranoia about dominoes falling? The Red Scare. They are scared.
They were never scared about the fucking stark poverty that all these Cappy nations had going on there that never fed well their working people, never housed well their working people, and never did much for getting people to get their basic needs met. Most of South America for a very long time never had food stamps, public housing, subsidized anything. No money for that. It was work for peanut salaries or DIE.
If some democratically elected president decides to change things why is it such a threat if the entire socialist agenda sucks and has no real benefits? Why fear it?
They fear it because if it does wind up working it means the working class can agitate and advocate for better wages, and working conditions, you get better safety nets, and more taxes from the wealthy, and you can invest in roads, schools, clinics, and so on. You have to redistribute the wealth in a much more equitable manner. It is really about equality Wat0n.
If you are an elitist from either Chile, Mexico, the USA, or anywhere else, you are not interested in equality. You are interested in being able to keep control of the vast majority of your wealth. Fuck the little people.
Then they get angry and upset about these equality-seeking government leaders spouting socialist and communist rhetoric.
Do something about the issue of poverty and bad working conditions. Do something to remedy why people are not happy and might vote your ass out of office!
If you want to keep the fucking socialists out of power? Give the workers who are the vast majority of the voting public some rights and some improvements. You refuse because you are a selfish bastard who wants to be making profits and fuck everyone else in your way!!??
I will not be worried about your fearmongering, warmongering bullshit tactics. You deserve to get your ass kicked. Really.
If Trump wins the popular vote in the US? He should have the right to rule the US. Lol. He has an insurrection problem. But hey, if the PRC and Russia do not like the choices in the US government they should have the right to topple fucking Trump or Biden and put in a puppet and round up a bunch of US dissenters torture their asses and throw them in rivers and bury them in walls and shit. Electrocute their testicles and so on. Right @wat0n? Nixon and Kissinger thought that was the best way to deal with foreign policy that they disagreed with. Too bad Nixon had to resign due to the Watergate scandal. He was doing such a great job being a clean prez. LOL.
I mean if the Xi does not like you in Beijing and you are an American prez he disapproved of for his tastes all over the world? He has a right to go and talk to some general and get him in power and have him remain in power as a fucking dictator from 1973--1990- It is just a little bit of 17 years of a Chinese Puppet pick in Washington DC. US has to suck it up for seventeen years of Chinese Puppet dictatorship. It is not a high price to pay for going against Beijing and Xi. Lol. The shit that you refuse to see is incredible Wat0n.
That is how you cope with disagreement between political factions in politics according to the ones who spout they love DEMOCRACY.
It is ridiculous shit Wat0n. Hypocritical and highly unorthodox. Fidel Castro has been dead since 2016. Raul Castro is very old and will kick the bucket soon. The vast majority of the original Granma boat revolutionaries are dead and buried.
Yet, Washington DC continues to punish Havana and they will continue with the Cold War shit in the America for all time. Even though Putin ain't a commie. He is a right-wing fascist Oligarch.
And the PRC sells the USA tremendous amounts of goods and services even though that nation is run by the Chinese Communist Party.
The hypocritical shit is astounding Wat0n!
Look the Khan Academy is an online school for people who need to cover all the major subjects in school. Mostly geared towards K-12 students. This is what they say about Chile and about Cuba. Do you see a pattern? I do.
Lol.
They are trying to be objective the Khan Academy. But reality is reality. The Bay of Pigs failed.
