9/11 really bums me out.
A horrible, but perfect, terrorist attack that launched two forever wars abroad, fueled horrific global violence, created the security state etc. Plus, the attack was allowed to happen by the state to allow them to gain all this power in the planned chaos.
It's like today is the anniversary of the beginning of this flailing spiral that is damaging everyone as it goes down.
PLUS, also it's the anniversary of Chile which is a reminder of how ruthless the powers that be can be to any socialist country.
Just a bad vibe day.

Exactly, before the Pandemic hit we were discussing State and Revolution with a group of comrades, mostly Trots. The topic of Allende was brought up and yeah... I still like the dude and I will forever defend my fellow Marxists but he made the critical error of not going for it , I do understand that it's not THAT simple but the mistake is there, even if the Capitalists lose in the ballot box they will wage war of attrition on the left, they have almost infinite resources and many ways to fuck you up. That is also a reason of why I admire Cuba, because they persisted decades of siege.
As a South American, that is the only Once de Septiembre we (should) care about.
