At 40 years after the coup : regaining the initiative, building popular alternative
 
Has come a new September, and it can not be more full of symbolism. As we recalled last 
month, the 40th anniversary of the coup that occurred on September 11, 1973, by which the 
Chilean bourgeoisie, with the active support of the government of the United States, 
overthrew the Popular Unity government and opened a period of intense repression against 
the left and the organized.
 
It is clear that the violent repression suffered during the 17 years of dictatorship 
sought to instill fear as a wall that prevented the resurgence of popular organizations. 
That fear got extend through the " saber rattling " until recently, but no longer holds 
more, is beginning to fade. We can proudly say that we are able to shake off the terror 
imposed and, in the process, we have recovered the street as a space for political 
expression and challenging, by applications background, basic support system.
 
Who in recent years we have moved in the country, either in the student demonstrations in 
the struggle to change the unfair pension system in strikes or stoppages and barricades 
against centralism community, we are fighting, we know it or not against the baneful 
legacy Pinochet, reflected in the current economic model, the current institutional 
structure and aberrant social deficit we suffer as a people. And the main purpose of the 
coup was to create the conditions of submission to enable them to make a profound 
transformation of the country through a series of labor reforms, economic, social and 
cultural factors that sought to end the role of the popular sectors.
 
During the thousand days of the UP government, the people were able to make significant 
progress in their most pressing demands, combining the efforts of workers, residents, 
students and professionals, working side by side to build socialism and Power multiplying 
initiatives antagonistic to the order of the rich, which materialized in the construction 
of embryonic organs of power themselves, as were the laces Industrial Communal Commands, 
takes control of land and territorial boards of control supplies and prices, among others. 
Undoubtedly, it was the period of our history when widened opportunities for political 
participation for the great majority of the country, which had been systematically 
neglected by formal democracy and constrained force until then.
 
If there is one lesson that and libertarians believe it is necessary to recover from those 
years is the desire for collective and to generate the necessary unity to build the social 
force capable of making structural changes. The challenges that lie ahead and the left are 
huge. In an accelerated process of realignment of forces ruling bloc that seeks to harness 
and co-opt social protest, it is urgent that we forge joint spaces that pivot around a 
particular tactical option, but around the strategic objectives of political project 
accumulated in these years of revival of the popular movement and to dispute the hegemony 
of the owners of the country. In this regard, it is useful to remember today the sense of 
political generosity and unity in diversity that allowed people and left over differences, 
become the central player in the national life.
 
This month we remember those who fell standing fighting for a dignified life for all and 
we renew our commitment to putting our best efforts to open the roads to socialism and 
freedom, that is the best homage we can pay.
 
Not one second of silence, a lifetime of combat!
Up the and Struggling !
Venceremos !

* SOLIDARITY
 
Facing the monopoly of information by those who wield the domain, we lift this humble 
informative alternative, which aims to account for the reality that the mainstream media 
deliberately concealed or misrepresented. From a libertarian perspective and class, we 
serve the organizations that fight every day and believe it possible to transform this 
reality. Support and make visible the struggles and interests of the exploited and 
oppressed is the goal we have set, demonstrating that we are not asleep and are 
increasingly those who rebel and begin to forge a libertarian horizon.
