How Chile's Socialists Won
Vložit
- čas přidán 14. 07. 2024
- Chile's new president is a 36-year-old socialist, but that might just be the start of the country's changes. More than 30 years after the end of the U.S.-backed dictatorship, Chile might soon have a brand new constitution, one that Chileans actually get to vote on and approve.
But it's been a long journey to power for Chile's leftists. Fifty years ago, they were overthrown, imprisoned and even killed. This is the story of how a new generation won.

Something to be noted and not mention in the video is that not only was the Chilean miracle not something that benefited the population but it was a total disaster.From 1974-1990 (Pinochet’s rule) gdp per capita stagnated and did not exceed 1974 levels until after he was ousted. Chile experienced two recessions,and unlike most countries were overtime poverty rates(which itself is a flawed statistic) have been decreasing since 1945 actually doubled from 20% extreme poverty to 40% by 1983.So even at the macro economic level Chile was a total disaster under Pinochet.Most of the growth did not start occurring until 1990 after he was ousted thanks to several reforms that undid some of the worse economic blunders of Pinochet.Such as the newly elected democratic government bringing back several top income taxes that would ensure the government budget would be supplied unlike before we’re it was in constant deficit.And this would allow for new programs and infrastructure to be persued by the public sector.Another thing that has to be mentioned is that Allende nationalized copper and it remains nationalized to this day,copper has accounted since then 20% or so of the Chilean economy to this day and was sometimes up to 30% so it always had a stabilizing effect for the rest of the economy.So even after death Allende did more for Chile than Pinochet did in 17 years.
Thanks for your vídeo!
This video is pure unadulterated BS
"Fifty years ago, they were overthrown, imprisoned and even killed" And the problem with killing commies is?
"First leftist government since the coup" - Are you serious?? There have been only two right-wing governments since democracy's comeback (both under Sebastian Piñera). All the others have been center-left or left governments. The video also forgot to mention some facts like Chile was the wealthiest nation in the region by GDP per capita until 2019 (when riots started), or that while it's true that inequality is greater than in other OCDE members, it's stiil under the average in the region and it has been on decline since 1990. Look, if you're going to criticize the actual system that's perfectly fine but at least bring all the facts. This video is just pure proaganda...
"Looks like Chile needs some freedom." - America.
Chile, officially the Republic of Chile, is a country in the western part of America.

@@ro33162 And who put that government in? The United States. Did they care about the atrocities that Pinochet was doing in Chile?

This is sadly what the Arab spring wanted to achieve. Happy for Chile but I wish the same for the middle east.
Hoping this can be widespread across Latin America, with Venezuela being a cautionary tale

@@FalconsEye58094 If my knowledge of history is correct, Venezuela was able to pay for the large amount of social welfare programs with revenue from petroleum exports. When oil was expensive (I believe that it was $100USD a barrel at one point.) citizens could rely on the welfare. Unfortunately, the price of oil dropped and I believe that you know where this is going.
Venezuela didn't have a backup plan. I can only hope that Chile has a rainy day fund.
twistedyogert you are partially correct, however Venezuela mismanaged its economy incredibly and their president didn’t wanna hear it from people who told him the right way to do things
Most people in Middle east and North Africa are extremely conservatives. They can't achieve Revolutions when you believed in the Old establishment.
If the majority of Chileans vote for socialism, then this is a democracy, not a dictatorship.

Why is the US in every country interfearing in other countries internal affairs?

They're also plotting

Plotting to make the same mistakes........all over.!!!!
Not very bright......ducky.!!!!
Only this time, they're more distracted on Russia-Ukraine conflict that's why Chile remains unharmed by the CIA yet.
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.
Gabriel boric has fallen out of favor in Chile. He's like biden where initially he's popular only to drop in popularity
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.

I just want to add that Chile is the most properous country in south america. Even more prosperous than some EU nations. And is on of the least unequal countries in its continent.
Chile has lots of problems, but when you compare to similar coutries or ... to the rest of the world, its very good.
Well, I hope it keeps improving and not going back to the level of poor and unequal Brazil and allways-in-crisis Argentina
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.
Not for much longer if Socialism has anything to do with it.
Talk about the lack of unequality with the mapuches, maybe you can convince them...
You should look our news, the country and the goverment is already in shambles
Oh the Socialists will fix Chile's prosperity dont worry. Its never failed to fix that problem in any country as far as I know.

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.
Would love to see a video on your statement "like how charter schools decimated public education in the US"
I second that !
It's fairly straightforward: public funds are diverted from public schools to often for-profit, poorly regulated private schools
@@Samuel-wb8uo wait till you learn about what they do with public school funds..
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. Free education is a privilege that everyone should enjoy but unfortunately, many ppl treat it as a chore affecting everyone who is forced to share the experience with you. We should have the option to choose the experience we want, children who show commitment and talent should be glorified.
Such BS. A charter school IS PUBLIC. They just have a charter with some additional rules they can make.
Everyday this video ages worse. Shouldn’t have had such a premature celebration huh?
Easy to see the monster in Russia. Far harder to see the monster in America.
Hopefully the CIA will leave Chile alone
It still blows my mind on why nobody is taking USA to trial for what they did in South America. Literally they brought countries into chaos for their own economical gain and the international community speaks about Ukraine like is the first time in history that something like this is happening.
@@AITreeBranches Its probably the military. America actually passed a law nicknamed the "Hague invasion act" in 2002 (during the Iraq war) which basically said the US could invade the netherlands if the Hague tried to put Americans on trial for war crimes.
Now that I think about it, if they didnt constantly destabilize those countries and seed unrest, they wouldn't be able to point to them to scare people everytime they ask for a more socialized fairer economy with more evenly distributed wealth. They do it in the name of greed and the consolidation of capitalist hegemony
And after the CIA is done funding coups and igniting civil wars, they'll mercilessly attack and dehumanize the people who flee that same unrest
That's just wishful thinking.

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
what makes me really sad about my south american friends is the fact that we all in Latin america tend to forgot our recent history... american interventionism in our countries was real and drowned our efforts to make life better for everyone. Yet it is an almost unnoticed topic nowadays...

Interesting fact but the us actually has an history of anti capitalist

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.)

The VP video was very amusing, because the level of dissatisfaction in Chile was already high when they made the video, and the proof was in the streets a few months later. Based on the election results most Chileans do want change.
BTW over the past decade many wealthy Chileans have emigrated to where I live in Mexico because they were unhappy with status quo and corruption in Chile -- Mexico over Chile??!!.
"Are You Winning s̶o̶n̶ socialistoid?"
Viva Chile !!! Viva la Libertad !!!
If Croatian guy got elected as president of Chile, does that mean Croatia won the Croatia - Chilean Hydrophillic war?
having a Croatian family background is normal in Chile, specially in Magallanes and the North, we are all Chileans
I love how BAD this video has aged 😅😅😅
pal pico
I'm very proud of my country Chile 🇨🇱
Yo estoy decepcionado 1)la mayoría de la gente es ignorante he incompetente con respecto a temas de política 2)mucha gente tiene nulo interés por aprender y solamente se basan en argumentos nacidos de lo que creen que es real, puro sentimentalismo 3)aun se piensa que allende fue el mejor cuando no hizo ni mierda pa mejorar la situación 4)elegimos a un presidente incompetente que mandó a una madre a un problema terrorista y casi muere (izkia) 5)la CC vale callampa y el texto escrito no puede ser más Rancio. 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
Lo siento por Chile, caer en manos de esos ineptos q ahora están en el gobierno
😂
Alguna decepción de momento socia?
socialism is death. you will be starving and proud.
I hope as hard as I can that Chile's story will have a good ending. It's starting to look like it will.
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.
smooth brain take
@@nickiiminajj9148 No it’s pretty practical. Wanting rapid change under a guy who is no better than the previous government will lead to disaster.
You are mixing socialism with corruption. You could mix capitalism with corruption too (Colombia for instance)
Which also doesn't work.
@@OP4K works better than Venezuela, Argentina and Cuba. But obviously corruption ruins everything but corruption plus socialism is the worst….
@@PCtutorialKid argentina economy collapse when the US backed fascist took control, cuba has the highest human dev score in region, venezuela economy is back on its track as the peoples slaughtered series of US backed coups... poor examples. Problem with Nazis is that you barely know what you are talking about, ... so go back to school KID, may want go back to doing shitty tutorials.
NO wn, NO, la historia de Chile no parte el 73', por la chucha.
Will end up like Venezuela
No, you're fearmongering. You can not stop us
good
I am Chilean and I come from the future. Two years of this government saw crime grow 400% and immigration out of control. Now we have international organized crime and all levels of government are involved in corruption never seen before. Congratulations on the analysis.
I hope they don’t do the same mistakes that led to economic collapse before and 200% inflation.
The mistake of being blockaded by the US lol
IN THE SECOND 6.19 THE ONE IN A YELLOW CIRCLE IS NOT GABRIEL BORIC, THAT PERSON IS GIORGIO JACKSON (very young, now totally bald). CURRENTLY HE IS A MINISTER FROM Ministerio Secretaría General de la Presidencia de Chile. NOT THE PRESIDENT. GREAT VIDEO BTW!!!
All the best Chile!
The actually lost now, they got their asses served on a platter by the whole country.
Soon they will find out that tax money is needed to finance those social spending. :-)
Intellectuals using the poor and the vulnerable it's sickening.
He's literally still repressing protests like the previous government, everyone was so naive thinking "oh this time it's gonna work" latin America likes so much to be humiliated and be pathetic is tiresome
Im offended but i agree, im still offended

@@otavianiluciano7397 how?
@@otavianiluciano7397 the facist in charge now is already doing that
Hopefully Chile will turn over a new leaf and have development that is not left to the market but is deliberately controlled to ensure that not only rich people and elites in power benefit.
Argentina is a good example of what might happen to Chile if they try to "deliberately control" the markets
The market control is stupid, shut up pls.
deliberately controlled? thankfully we aren't that dumb, we have perfect examples of how that goes in our own region, we share borders with 2
Neither markets nor centralized planning, but worker self-management should be the goal.
It will end up just like every other socialist run country and will become completely corrupt and the only ones to prosper will be the ones at the top in the government just like what happened in Cuba and Venezuelan.
CHILE ERA EL 11/09/73 EL SEGUNDO PAÍS MÁS POBRE DESPUÉS DE HAITÍ. EL PRESIDENTE CAPITÁN GENERAL DON AUGUSTO PINOCHET UGARTE EL HOMBRE QUE HIZO DE CHILE LA NACIÓN MÁS PRÓSPERA, PUJANTE Y SEGURA. LO MISMO QUE ESTA HACIENDO BUKELE EN EL SALVADOR, OJALA USA NO INTERVENGA Y DEJE QUE SIGAN PROGRESANDO. SI USA NO HUBIESE INTERVENIDO EN CHILE, HOY SERÍAMOS UN PAIS DESARROLLADO.
It's sad that socialism won in chile, hope they don't do as much damage
if it's democratic socialism then it's not very good, it needs to be a fully communist dictatorship
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.
you forgot to mention that Allende was a Nazi
Even if he was the worst president of the world nothing justifies a coup d'etat and kill thousands of civilians .
You failed to mention that these kids are also very pro Palestinians, and against the Israeli occupation.
Dude u cant call ur self a socialist and not support Palestinas freedoom.
Most Chileans are pro Palestinian, We have the largest Palestinian decedents population anywhere in the world.
@@DETTO33 you'd be surprised about german socialists then
They also support Russia's invasion of Ukraine which is ironic and hypocritical.
They want the Palestinians to be free but victim blame then Ukranians for fighting to be free.
@@DETTO33 what about the Islamic fascism in Middle East and South asia? Do the socialists support that as well?
Que objetivo el reportaje
Socialism does not work because of the USA governments, but by disign, ask eastern europeans. Chile is the only latinamerican country, that has grown continously in the last 40 years, now we have slums again, but is because we have received 1 million immigrants from the failed states of L.A. especially from Venezuela. Now we are facing their same destiny.
As a Chilean, this video is heavily biased.
how?
@@lodz8666 My parents are Chileans, life under Allende was horrible, food was scarce, inflation almost immeasurable, he took over many private industries (including my Grandfathers copper mine). Look up "banging of the pots".
