um i understand that the world is imperfect. as for Allende being a propaganda bastard, he didnt need it. he was popularly elected and it was acknowledged by just about everyone but the super wealthy who lived in chile at the time that he was not this oppressive dictator. people need to learn to separate economic structures like communism and capitalism from political ones like totalitarianism and democracy. You can have a capitalist totalitarianism (like Nazi Germany) as well as a democratic communism ( like chile under allende). It did work untill the us backed a fascist military junta that was for free trade and no civil rights. it is the lone example of a funtioning democratic communism and is the exception, not the rule. By your own admission, the Allende "regime" did not last long. The praise he got was not from his regime. it was from people allive before during and after his administration. Pinochet was indeed backed by the US because we were afraid of the communists. The fact is that he didnt need propaganda and he didnt need russia. Allende was actually relatively distant from the rest of the communist bloc because he wasnt a ruthless dictator. HE NEVER DISOLVED PARLIAMENT. they had parliamentary government with elections just like they do in the UK today. how the fuck is that a totalitarian state? U sir, are either a troll or an anti communist bastard that isnt even willing to accept that there actually were benefits to it. either way, gtfo
