The Overthrow

Abstract

50 years ago, It commited the overthrow of a legitimate and democratic Government, followed by a violent and prolonged repression, but, not a failure of historical project which inspired the Popular Unity government. This project carried on in other ways, from a spirit of resistance which it sign up in decades of social struggles. Even so, in this fiftieth anniversary, the disqualifications of historical project of left-wing and Salvador Allende government have remained and, in the right-wing world, the injury is patent. In this essay, through a historical-economic account of President Allende government, I desmystify the set of those disqualifications, at the same time I identify the relevance and future of allendist project 50 years later, in this currently Chile.
