Well, it is a good example of the way that socialist movements that try to win power through bourgeois democracy universally end up losing in a spectacularly bloody fashion.
This is a bit long but very well made video about what happened in Chile if you want to understand the history and context.

Project Cybersyn was a socialist logistical mechanism for running the economy based on a marxist understanding of production. It later became the basis for neoliberal logistical protocols because of how effective the methodology actually was in practice. This is partly why the military coup was used ultimately. Allende and Cybersyn were so effective at circumventing the other forms of control and manipulation that were initially used in response.
So even if you survive the first, second, etc order reactions, that just means an escalation towards total war will be coming soon.
Ah, there was a person named Allende. I was only seeing articles about the city in Mexico 😅
In fairness though that speaks more about the atrocities of the US than Democratic socialism.
it also speaks a lot to how search algorithms will bury ideas dangerous to capital.

Ah, I see. This makes sense actually, thanks.
