Abstract
Within the Latin American context, Chile, up to September 11, 1973, had a unique political evolution. Its political democracy had laid deeper roots than in the other Latin American republics because it had mass communist and socialist parties, which, more legitimately than its counterparts in the rest of the continent, were not only integral to the workings of the political system, but had also formed part of coalition governments, had large party apparatuses, newspapers, strong and long-term presence in parliament, and led powerful social movements for radical change. The strength of the left’s appeal lay in its message of social justice and social redemption based on a history of struggle against upper-class violence.KeywordsTrade UnionLower ClassLabor MovementPolitical ViolenceSocialist PartyThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
