#UPDATE Chileans have emphatically rejected a proposed new constitution to replace the one adopted during the Augusto Pinochet dictatorship.

With more than 72% of votes counted, the camp rejecting change led with over 62% compared to just under 38% for those in favour pic.twitter.com/Erd2isMTV7

That’s good, but I had presumed that entire region was mainly communist already. Chile, Bolivia, Peru and Argentina.
It’s good to be wrong about that.

I recall in 2015, Bolivian president Evo Morales giving Pope Francis a welded crucifix fashioned from a hammer and sickle.
Pope Francis appeared to be both pleased and facsinated with the concept piece.

Good for Chile. I hope that our voters also see the light.

They’ve been there. They came back with a message to today’s idiot youth. Don’t do it. Today’s idiot youth, being idiots, are still hell-bent on it. But Chile is the Mod Squad.

Well, I am grateful for any good political news these days.

However, this is the same country that elected a neo-Marxist President less than a year ago.

Their new 36 year old President has been a professional student activist, political party organizer, and political candidate for almost the last 20 years!

Chile has been the most affluent country in Latin America since Communist Venezuela started collapsing in the early 2000s.

Cuba was the most affluent country in Latin America before Castro destroyed it in 1960.

Cuba, Venezuela, and Chile...

Does anybody besides me see a recurring pattern of centrally planned economic destruction here?

This is not overwhelming in my opinion. Over 1/3 supported outright leftist ideas. Those people are the enemy.
