Chile has been in chaos since October 2019. Roiled by mass protests and looting, the government of Chile has declared a state of emergency and imposed curfews in many cities across the country: About 20,000 soldiers are patrolling the streets, over 2,300 people have been injured and thousands have been arrested and at least 23 have been killed - the worst unrest Chile has faced since Augusto Pinochet's dictatorship three decades ago. To make matters worse, the Chilean authorities have begun advancing an increasingly authoritarian message implying that the conflict must be solved with repression. The government of President Pinera does not seem to understand the magnitude of the problem or what is at stake: Namely the problem of poverty, inequality, as well as lack of civil liberties in Chile, which need to be addressed urgently. Hence this book endeavours to improve civil rights and political stability in Chile; so that human rights and human dignity can be restored in this beautiful country
Pinochet was a dick-tater?
Gen Augusto Pinochet helped make a lot of good communists. So good they have never been seen again. Could the US produce a Pinochet and his determined enablers when the time may come?
SOROS!
The communists never went away. They have adeptly used failures in some free-market systems to provoke class-envy and hatred. They have succeeded in convincing the population to demand a new constitution that will guarantee equality, eliminate poverty, and shower civil liberties over all. Now pull the other one.
Bump!
Pinochet was a patriot. Willingly gave back power once the situation was stabilized.
Bolchevism is a human thought worm
I visited Chile when Pinochet’s regime ran things. The country was spotless, no litter. No graffiti either. A heavily armed cop on almost every corner. The crime rate was almost zero. The people seemed to like the security.
CHINA. Soros is the front man for China in the West.
Pinochet rescued his country from the Commies.
He also did the country a huge favor by giving Leftists free helicopter rides. :^)

I did not know either.
See something, say something. Hear something, say something.
This is the endgame for the current BLM/Soros fueled insurgency. Only the donkey party role is to be able to pull a legislative backstab to approve a new ‘constitutional convention’.
"A government big enough to give you everything you want, is big enough to take everything you have."
That level of government NEVER ends well and never delivers on it's promises.
“a new constitutional convention”
The Left might make this move in the future, but the only such thing going on in the present is the Convention of States movement, a non-Left (and perfectly Constitutional) effort to get a Convention to consider new amendments, but which could craft a completely new document.
I support a Convention of States. I recognize how it could go wrong, but nothing else has penetrated the armor of the entrenched powers that currently be. A Convention or a new Constitution might well have as little effect, but who knows?
