Recently, I have been reading more about the Chilean coup.
Where do you think Allende made his error that resulted in his downfall?
If you were in his position (having been elected as a socialist and successfully taken power, while in the shadow of the United States and having a military hostile to you), what would you have done differently?
America murdered him anyway. Securing power would have given him and people of Chile the best chance. If you act like a "mad dog", then the imperial core hesitates. See: the DPRK.
