How did Salvador Allende, a Marxist physician, become president of Chile through free elections in 1970? This episode traces his long political journey: founding the Socialist Party in 1933, serving as health minister in 1939, three failed presidential bids, and the narrow 1970 victory with 36.6% of the vote. We explore his proposed 'Chilean road to socialism' — nationalizing copper, accelerating land reform, and freezing prices — and the immediate opposition he faced: the CIA-funded El Mercurio, the murder of General René Schneider, and a hostile Congress. We also examine how the US, under Nixon and Kissinger, worked to 'make the economy scream' through covert funding to truckers, striking shopkeepers, and the opposition. Without dismissing Allende's mistakes or his opponents' grievances, we try to understand a unique moment when socialism came to power not through revolution but the ballot box. The episode ends with the economic chaos of 1973 — shortages, inflation, and the drumbeat of a coup to come. #SalvadorAllende #UnidadPopular #ChileanWayToSocialism #1970Election #NationalizationOfCopper #RenéSchneider #ITTCables #OperationCentaur #NixonAndKissinger #ElMercurio #CIAChile #September4 #LaMoneda #SocialistPartyChile #LandReform #History #FexingoHistory #SouthAmerica Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
