Would be very curious where Allende’s ideas would have gone. I have a feeling not as well as many people think, but it would have been an interesting experiment nonetheless.
The coup was lowkey the best and worst thing that happened to Allende. His policy of "revolution through reform" and the way he went about implementing it was genuinely nonsensical if you read about it (going for some half-baked ground between capitalism and socialism that just didn't work and was a large part why the insane inflation happened + didn't dismantle capitalist power structures which all but guaranteed the coup to happen eventually), but because of the coup that's all swept under the rug and he's a martyr.
Yo, nice meme I thought about posting too, but please add alt text to this one according to 0.5 in the sidebar, thx :)
Done. Thanks for the head up.
That wouldn't work. Allende was warned... by Fidel Castro.
😞
Oh. Did he have a super powers to fight witches with, or was he just, like, a guy?
Edit: thinking about it; he didn't even have as good a navy as she had access to.
Allende wasn't overthrown by witches.
Valid point. But it was shown that she could use thsm against other stuff.
Bro I cant even.. My dislexic ass read "Presidente Aldente" 💀
The 'just right' president.

First heard about him in a Flobots song.
