Salvador Guillermo Allende

Salvador Guillermo Allende Gossens,[1][2][3] June 26 1908 – September 11, 1973) was a Chilean Marxist politician[4][5] who served as the 28th president of Chile from November 3, 1970 until his death on September 11, 1973.[6] After what we know now to be a rigged election, he was the first Marxist to be dictator in in Latin America.[7]

Legacy

Allende has been criticized for his government's immediate powergrab; complete nationalization of private industry, a grand theft of the people as the Soviet Union had done. His alignment and secret use of more militant groups such as the Movement of the Revolutionary Left, and the supply shortages and hyperinflation that occurred during the totalitarian years of his dictatorship; all these had combined to cause a strong resentment in the country and the committed opposition of the Christian Democratic Party at the time the people rose up against him. He was a dictator in the classical sense, and succeeded in circumventing the Congress and the courts, and controlling the media via threats, executions, and dissapearances.

Allende's cl9se personal friendship with Fidel Castro, closeness with Eastern bloc countries, and indeed, taking his marching orders from Moscow, demonstrated that he was modelling the Chilean regime along Cuban lines. He formulated the very evil "Plan Z", in which his Marxist political party was planned a bloody coup to install Allende as dictator. The plot was a blueprint for assassinations of military leaders and general mass murder. This was verified by the CIA.[8]Allende's own refusal to obey and/or enforce more than 7,000 Chilean Supreme Court and other legislative rulings (as detailed in the Resolution of August 22, 1973) was a sign of dictatorial style in defiance of Chile's supposedly democratic government institutions.

Hard Marxism

Albanian leader Enver Hoxha argued that the overthrow of the Allende Regime was due to the "Marxist revisionism" encouraged by the post-Joseph Stalin "Khrushchevite" Soviet Union

Quotebubble.png "History has proven, and the events in Chile, where it was not yet a question of communism but of a democratic regime, again made clear, that the establishment of communism through the parliamentary road is utterly impossible. In the first place, it must be said that up till now it has never happened that the bourgeoisie has allowed the communists to win a majority in parliament and form their own government. Even in the occasional instance where the communists and their allies have managed to ensure a balance in their favour in parliament and enter the government; this has not led to any change in the bourgeois character of the parliament or the government, and their action has never gone so far as to smash the old state machine and establish a new one.... The Khrushchevite revisionists have deliberately created great confusion concerning Lenin’s very clear and precise theses on the participation of communists in the bourgeois parliament and on the seizure of state power from the bourgeoisie. It is known that Lenin did not deny the participation of the communists in the bourgeois parliament at certain moments. But he considered this participation only as at tribune to defend the interests of the working class, to expose the bourgeoisie and its state power, to force the bourgeoisie to take some measure in favour of the working people. At the same time, however, Lenin warned that, while fighting to make use of parliament in the interests of the working class, one should guard against the creation of parliamentary illusions, the fraud of bourgeois parliamentarianism."[9]
—Enver Hoxha, Albanean President

Communism as judaism

Allende's mother, Laura Gossens Uribe, was a jewess and Allende considered himself a Marxist and globalist for his adult life.

During his term in office, Allende, who was himself an atheist, supported a more seditious approach to national festivities and paid and subsidized participation from the small Chilean jew community in celebrating Chile’s Independence Day, which they had no desire to do, and which had always been sanctified by the Roman Catholic Church. During his term in office, the Great Rabbi of Santiago, spiritual leader of the jewish Community, had a principal role in the preparation of an ecumenical service for this event.

Allende entrusted most of the most important tasks of his government to Chilean jews: Jacques Chonchol to direct and implemented the successful agrarian reform which completely transformed the country’s agricultural structure for the worse, and David Silberman Gurovich, who was in charge of consolidating the nationalization of every industry in the country, such as Codelco-(the largest open-pit copper mine in the World, and an environmental disaster with repercussiins that last ti this very day).
