    how huge can this be? i mean: it's a brand new constitution, made by an exclusive committee elected by popular vote for this exact purpose

    the possibilities are seriously endless

    It was born in America and unleashed on Chile. Chile was where it first failed so hard that a brutal dictatorship essentially became a requirement because material conditions were such shit.

      Someone clone Thatcher and Pinochet and force the clones to reenact the Django Unchained mandingo fight forever.

    The chilean people are some of the dopest and downest comrades out there. Love to see it and love to have that jolt of hopium when seeing the uprising of the proletariat

    Get fucked Jaime Gusanoman

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaime_Guzm%C3%A1n

    According to historian Renato Cristi in the writing of the present Constitution of Chile Pinochet collaborator Jaime Guzmán based his work on the pouvoir constituant concept used by Schmitt as well as drawing inspiration in the ideas of market society of Friedrich Hayek. This way Guzmán would have enabled a framework for an authoritarian state with a free market system.[50]

    This kind of makes me want to move to Chile... Along with the PCC leading in polls. Chile seems like it's on the road to greatness, assuming the US isn't successful in fucking them over again.

        Maybe, but the US has a lot working against it right now as far as this goes. China and Russia are stronger than they once were and won't likely standby and watch the US do that to such a resource rich country. Also, in the internet age, it's not as easy to support violent repression and avoid any domestic criticism, although this hasn't prevented them from supporting coups in a more discrete way.

        This is why I've been saying that I'd prefer Trump as president. As a non-American, I'd prefer isolationist (at least relative to other recent presidents) Trump over interventionist Biden.
