CHILE: A HISTORY OF UNBUILT SOCIALISM

Abstract

The relevance of this topic is an analysis of the attempt to build socialism in Chile and a modern assessment of this era. In the twentieth century, Latin America was at the center of the confrontation between two ideologies - Marxist and capitalist. In some countries (Cuba, Venezuela) the ideas of a communist society found fertile ground. The situation with Chile turned out to be different and the construction of a social state turned into the collapse and death of its ideologist. The article discusses the modern view of Chileans on the era of Allende and Pinochet. The answer is also given - why it was not possible to build Chilean socialism.
