I watched a documentary on Arte a few months ago, since I never really knew much about Allende and the circumstances of the coup d’état.
Two aspects I found personally interesting:
-
A reactionary and conservative opposition — backed by powerful elites and foreign influence — was blocking all progress and reforms initiated by the democratically elected Allende government.
-
Allende’s response to the sabotage and obstruction by the conservative and right-wing opposition was to continue seeking dialogue, uphold the constitution, and try to avoid a constitutional crisis at all costs.
A lot of similarities and parallels can be seen today in how conservative and right-wing parties operate — using the same playbook we saw back then in Chile. A strategy all too familiar, and somehow still (and once again) disturbingly effective.

JD Vance. Fascist vice president of the USA.
That’s a caricature of him that went viral after his infamous quote “did you ever say thank you” during Ukranian President Zelenskys visit in the white house.

This time, it’s more strategic — the goal is to weaken China. The alliance between Russia, Iran, and China is built on a shared opposition to the U.S. and Western democracy. But Trump’s return throws a wrench into that dynamic.
Putin sees an opportunity: Isolate and economically hurt China, and improve Russias own leverage on the global stage — all while using Trump as a tool once again.

Mateoto@lemmy.worldto Europe@feddit.org•Germany: Nationwide protests against cooperation with far-right AfD partyEnglish181·4 months agoWhile Merz’s move might not have any immediate impact on the polls - since the CDU is currently leading - it will soon create a much bigger problem: no party across the democratic spectrum will be willing to form a coalition with him.
He may win over some radicals and see a temporary boost (or no negative impact) in the polls, which will likely lead him to believe he’s on the right track. But in the long run, he’s undermining his own trustworthiness.
Imagine being in a coalition with him, and then he starts pushing radical policies that have no support from his partners or the democratic parties. He’ll likely work with the far righters of AfD.
That’s a person you simply can’t trust or work with. The CDU may still win the election, but Merz has effectively destroyed his chances of becoming Chancellor.
His only remaining path to power would be through a power-hungry, partisan approach that prioritizes politics over the country’s well-being and democracy - ultimately paving the way for working with the AfD, which would be disastrous for Germany’s democratic foundations.
At this point, he became Germany’s version of Trump.

The people have the power. Organize statewide protests, block roads, and mobilize the working class to stand against fascism. Be more like the French citoyens.
Stop waiting for someone else to save your asses. This is 2016 all over again, when you pinned your hopes on Mueller or some other investigator. No one is coming.
Stop whining. Take action. Fight fascism.

Yet here we are after Trump’s awful first presidency and after he tried to overthrow the government. It’s all because we are giving him more attention than he deserves.
Mateoto@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•RFK Jr wants to promote raw milk as HHS secretary – experts say it’s dangerous122·7 months agoWe should stop posting about Trump and his group of extraordinary morons.
The news cycle thrives on Trump, as every decision he makes manages to anger half the population, while the other half cheers him on simply to annoy liberals and progressives. This dynamic generates more clicks and ad revenue for news outlets, allowing Trump to continue making foolish decisions just to remain in the spotlight.
The only way to change this is to stop giving him space in the news.
