Something to be noted and not mention in the video is that not only was the Chilean miracle not something that benefited the population but it was a total disaster.From 1974-1990 (Pinochet’s rule) gdp per capita stagnated and did not exceed 1974 levels until after he was ousted. Chile experienced two recessions,and unlike most countries were overtime poverty rates(which itself is a flawed statistic) have been decreasing since 1945 actually doubled from 20% extreme poverty to 40% by 1983.So even at the macro economic level Chile was a total disaster under Pinochet.Most of the growth did not start occurring until 1990 after he was ousted thanks to several reforms that undid some of the worse economic blunders of Pinochet.Such as the newly elected democratic government bringing back several top income taxes that would ensure the government budget would be supplied unlike before we’re it was in constant deficit.And this would allow for new programs and infrastructure to be persued by the public sector.Another thing that has to be mentioned is that Allende nationalized copper and it remains nationalized to this day,copper has accounted since then 20% or so of the Chilean economy to this day and was sometimes up to 30% so it always had a stabilizing effect for the rest of the economy.So even after death Allende did more for Chile than Pinochet did in 17 years.
"First leftist government since the coup" - Are you serious?? There have been only two right-wing governments since democracy's comeback (both under Sebastian Piñera). All the others have been center-left or left governments. The video also forgot to mention some facts like Chile was the wealthiest nation in the region by GDP per capita until 2019 (when riots started), or that while it's true that inequality is greater than in other OCDE members, it's stiil under the average in the region and it has been on decline since 1990. Look, if you're going to criticize the actual system that's perfectly fine but at least bring all the facts. This video is just pure proaganda...
@@itookallthenames and roberto0709 here is educating folk that America is a continent and not a country. From Chile all the way to Canada. It is so big that it is commonly referred to as 2 separate continents. South and North America. Just like Eurasia is Europe and Asia.
I just want to add that Chile is the most properous country in south america. Even more prosperous than some EU nations. And is on of the least unequal countries in its continent. Chile has lots of problems, but when you compare to similar coutries or ... to the rest of the world, its very good. Well, I hope it keeps improving and not going back to the level of poor and unequal Brazil and allways-in-crisis Argentina
Venezuela was the second most prosperous, granted it was corrupt. But Chavez fixed that with a healthy dose of socialism. Not the corruption, the prosperity.
The main reason is that he hasn't been able to deliver on his promises. Unfortunately part of this is because he took office right as the pandemic started, and that the majority conservative house and senate have been doing their best to block every single move he and his cabinet have attempted. He's the right person for Chile, but terrible timing my country picked to put him in power. I hope he wins the re-election when he gets a chance; per Chilean law, presidents can only be elected twice, but cannot serve consecutive years; so he can run again in 2028.
@@jorgesepulveda4379he's not a communist... and Allende won the election back then, democratically. The us just did not want a socialist nation, and we got a dictatorship in return.

Oh wait, I don't have to imagine, because that has happened multiple times. And an attempted one on January 6th. Incredible job, republicans
As a matter of fact, the level of inequality in Chile has declined since 1990. The Gini coefficient was 57.3 in 1990 and declined to 44.4 by 2019. To be sure, the society needs to be much more equal than it is. But, for 30 years, the trend was in the right direction.
Certainly, the inequality in Chile has declined. Matter of fact, The Chilean institutions, based on the 80's Constitution work in order Neoliberal doctrine of a "subsidiary state". Setting natural conditions for those who have the ingress to success in the nation, while poor only can get into debt to live. The evolution of family's debt and income evolution in families depending their social-economical status are both prove that the trend you think is wrong. Plus, Gini coefficent in Chile is unsuitable in its measurement, because the data is provided by CASEN, an institution that can't really identify 1% richest wealth. It's not my intention to offend, and I don't know if you're chilean like me. But chilean reality is clear once you get here. Also, if you think I'm wrong, I'll be glad to debate.

@The Stammering Dunce As in Chile, Boric, Vallejo and Jackson (not mentioned in the video, but a member of the lower house and close ally of President Boric) were student leader of the chilean equivalent of ivy league schools, they all come from a privileged socioeconomic background.
I want to clarify Allende was not a good guy whatosever, he armed local leftist miltias and formed a group of "special friends" which would back him entirely in his entire regime, chilean inflation skyrocketed and Allende started mass violence and persecution campaigns against local enterprises and massive expropriation processes of international companies in Chile, with mass lines of food shortages and the chilean economy declining, he was one of the worst presidents latin america ever had, and if he had lasted longer in power I cannot imagine what else the chilean people had to pass through under the reign of a president which was slowly cementing himself into power and making himself an autoritarian one.
How Socialists won in Chile? They ditched their own candidate, then they followed the new left movement, and then they hijacked the new government (a government which was supposed to represent a new left movement ended up being a traditional socialist government). Socialist were part of the first government after Pinochet in 1990. They were also part on the following government (1994-2000). The next Chilean president was a socialist, and was also followed by a socialist (Michelle Bachelet), who ruled from 2006 to 2010, and then from 2014 to 2018. The current Chilean president is NOT a socialist. “The constitution stopped them from challenging the country’s economic system”… What are you trying to say with that statement? How can a constitution stop you from trying something? That does not make sense. THEY WANTED TO KEEP THE SYSTEM. Socialists kept the economic system, they benefited from it, and they reduced poverty IN MORE THAN 30%: In 1990, the percentage of people living in poverty in Chile was 38.6%. In 2013 the percentage of people living in poverty in Chile was 7.8%.
They haven´t reduced anything, in 2019 everything started because of a higher price at the subway (of only 30CLP which was less than dolar at that time, even less than a cent). Everything was organized by the Communist Party of Chile and the Bolivarian Revolution who took place in Venezuela. After "fighting for the people" during 2019 asking for a new system completely inspired by the marxist ideology, Gabriel Boric fought for the presidency during 2021 against José Antonio Kast, a right politician, but after Boric calling him nazi and extreme right (Gabriel used populism against Kast). Boric won the elections by lying to the people and after everything, the prices are already so much higher than before just in a few months. Socialists didn´t reduced poberty, the economic way of Augusto Pinochet (The Chicago Boys) reduced poberty and that´s how Chle became one of the best countries in South America, actually, the best in growing economy. During that time of 1990 to 2013 everything was measured by the constitution of Pinochet, after the changes of the "NO Vote" that was just for Pinochet leaving the presidency (After he offered to give back democracy, exactly). So all the changes of poberty, inflation and PIb were made by the right politicians. (One of them "Jaime Guzmán" was killed by the lefties during 1991.)

DO NOT BE FOOLED! Ever heard of the term "Captains of Industry" (in the West), well, that terminology is NOT different in meaning and definition, to other terms that are utilized in other economies to describe Government Sponsored Investors in it's strategic economic sectors---not EVERY American can invest directly in the defense industry, foreigners less so. There are also other strategic sectors that the 'American Dream', cannot apply without Government Clearances or say so. In Russia they call their Government Sponsored captains "Oligarchs", and they are very closely tethered to the Kremlin---in China they are called, nothing, but when they operate outside of China we refer to them as "State sponsored entities", even though they act and behave like private corporations, however, they report to the CCP... We often pretend that Capitalism unlike Socialism or Communism has nothing to do with the Government, but it's blatantly obvious that behind EVERY Corporation, the true power behind it is the Government money that it shells for, specifically on international commerce.... The Wests war against the Russian Oligarchs for the Kremlin's invasion of the Ukraine is testament as to who own's much of the wealth behind the oligarchy's corporations.... In consideration to the above inference, we can also begin to view and understand Western Corporations --- and question, if truly the Western govt's hold hidden sway in those strategic Fossil Fuel corporations, who calls the shots, and what intentions do they hold in-regards to Climate Change?
Marxism is a political philosophy developed by Prussian (German) philosopher Karl Marx that focuses on class struggle and various ways to ensure equality of outcome for all people. Marxism and Marxian analysis have various schools of thought, but the basic idea is that the ruling class in any nation has historically oppressed the lower classes, and thus social revolution is needed to create a classless, homogeneous society. Marxism teaches that the best system of government is one in which wealth is distributed equally, there is no private property (ownership of productive entities is shared by everyone), and every citizen gives selflessly to the collective. The purported goal of Marxism is a government-run utopia in which the needs of each individual are always provided for. Ideally, the strong work hard, the inventive create technological marvels, the doctors heal, the artists delight the community with beauty, and anyone who is weak or poor or in need can draw on society’s combined resources as their needs demand. When this idealistic model is attempted in the real world, it is called “socialism,” “communism,” “statism,” “liberalism,” or “progressivism,” depending on the degree to which the model is explored and implemented. Thus far, Marxism has never worked in real life-and, without exception, in the places where Marxism has been the governmental model, Christians have been persecuted. That’s because there’s a foundational difference between Marxism and Christianity, a deep divide that cannot be bridged. There are several aspects of Marxism, as a philosophy, that put it at odds with the Christian faith. Here are a few: Marxism is, at heart, an atheistic philosophy with no room for belief in God. Karl Marx himself was clear on this point: “The first requisite of the happiness of the people is the abolition of religion” (“A Criticism of the Hegelian Philosophy of Right,” 1844). Christianity, of course, is rooted in theism and is all about God. In the Marxist model, the state becomes the provider, sustainer, protector, and lawgiver for every citizen; in short, the state is viewed as God. Christians always appeal to a higher authority-the God of the universe-and Marxist governments don’t like the idea of there being any authority higher than themselves. One of the basic tenets of Marxism is that the idea of private property must be abolished. Where Marxism has taken root, land owners see their property confiscated by the state, and private ownership of just about anything is outlawed. In abolishing private property, Marxism directly contradicts several biblical principles. The Bible assumes the existence of private property and issues commands to respect it: injunctions such as “You shall not steal” (Deuteronomy 5:19) are meaningless without private property. The Bible honors work and teaches that individuals are responsible to support themselves: “The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat” (2 Thessalonians 3:10). The redistribution of wealth mandated by Marxism destroys accountability and the biblical work ethic. Jesus’ parable in Matthew 25:14-30 clearly teaches our responsibility to serve God with our (private) resources. There is no way to reconcile Marxism with the parable of the talents. Marxism is ultimately about material things; Christianity is ultimately about spiritual things. Frederick Engels, a close associate of Karl Marx, said that Marx’s greatest insight was that “men must first of all eat, drink, have shelter and clothing before they can pursue politics, science, art, religion and the like” (“Speech at the Grave of Karl Marx,” Highgate Cemetery, London. March 17, 1883, transcribed by Mike Lepore). In other words, Marxism seeks to meet the needs of man and posits that, until those needs are met, man is incapable of any aspirations higher than an animal-like existence. Jesus taught, “Do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? . . . Seek first [God’s] kingdom and his righteousness” (Matthew 6:26, 33). Marx taught, “Seek first man’s kingdom and the stuff of this world.” Jesus’ words are the antithesis of communism and Marxism, and it’s one reason why Karl Marx reviled Christianity. The utopia that Marxism seeks to develop is earthly and man-made; Christians look to the Lord Jesus to establish a heavenly, perfect kingdom some day. Believers understand that, given man’s sinful nature, there is no perfect system in this world. Greed and abuse of power and selfishness and laziness will taint even the purest motives. Some people attempt to combine Christianity with Marxist philosophy. Their attempts may be well-meaning, but they are impractical. The Puritans in the New World tried communal living for a while. When the Plymouth Colony was founded, there was no private property, and all food was distributed equally amongst all, regardless of one’s job (or work ethic). But that system, lacking any incentive to hard work, was soon abandoned as a complete failure. See “Of Plymouth Plantation” by Plymouth Colony Governor William Bradford for the full story. Attempting to combine Christianity with Marxism also ignores their widely divergent views on sin, God, equality, responsibility, and the value of human life. Of course, some people point to Acts 2:44-45 as proof that Christianity is compatible with communism: “All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need.” Two things must be said here: first, this passage, as with much of Acts, is , not ; that is, this passage contains no command for the church to function this way; it is simply a description of what the early church in Jerusalem did to meet some unique and urgent needs. There is no indication that such extensive sharing was ever copied by other New Testament churches. Second, the communal arrangements in Acts were completely and motivated by the love of Christ. Any attempt to apply this to , secular (godless) communism really makes no sense. When Frederick Engels heard that some Christians were using Acts 2 to promote socialism, he wrote against melding his philosophy with Christianity: “These good people are not the best Christians, although they style themselves so; because if they were, they would know the bible better, and find that, if some few passages of the bible may be favourable to Communism, the general spirit of its doctrines is, nevertheless, totally opposed to it” (“Progress of Social Reform on the Continent,” in , 3rd Series, Nos. 19, Nov. 4, 1843, transcribed by Andy Blunden). According to Engles, the Bible and Marxism are “totally opposed.” In short, the Bible promotes freedom and personal responsibility, and neither of those concepts lasts long under Marxism. There’s a reason why, in Marxist states such as Communist China and Vietnam and the old Soviet Union, Christians are always persecuted-the ideas espoused by Marxism are antithetical to the teachings of Jesus Christ. The differences are irreconcilable.

Never underestimate the peoples desire for free shit. Inflation will be heading your way and everybody will be poor. I wish Chile the best, I fear the worst. I have seen this show before.
Will it make a difference if at your job you get pay and also get a part of the profits? Part of the profits to maintain and improve the business and part for everyone, remember that you, the employee, are the ones who produce, transform and generate wealth. Or maybe you want to be the "investor" do nothing and receive everything just because he put "his" money, in this model even if you work you will never have the same as the investor, curiously in this model only the employee works makes wealth but are not rich. Seems like you have to have money first to make money, or better says… “to put others to make money for you”
I will write this with a translator, since by only having the ability to understand part of what he says in the video, it would be difficult for me to write it. I began to be interested in politics from the estallido social, which was a time bomb that politicians did not solve any problem of the middle class, the bad thing was that this movement moved radically to the left, this is confirmed by movements called "pueblo constituyente" or "lista del pueblo", which in their time were considered "neither left nor right". Already mentioned about that, during the presidential elections, people like Daniel Jadue or the current president Gabriel Boric, claimed the flag of the explosion, when Jadue kicked him out of the place, it did not correspond from my point of view. To make it more summarized, Boric won because Jose Antonio Kast generated rejection, he is from the extreme right, it was very difficult for him to win and this government has already passed 2 months, it has been a disaster. Aside from doing somersaults, inflation has been characteristic and an issue to be resolved, the problem is that its "solutions" are pure public spending, subsidies and reforms that, in the long run, harm us more. The interior minister, who is like a vice president, Iskia Siches, is the one that has done the worst, one of the characteristics of the government is "dialogue", but that attempt failed when speaking with the father of Camilo Catrillanca, that area that is the Araucania region is known for being the seed of Mapuche terrorism, there are groups of the extreme left that are now against the government and calling them "covert right-wingers", they also had that habit of lying, like when they blamed Rodrigo Delgado (former minister) to cover up a flight with illegal immigrants, in itself to be loose mouth and now it is being controlled by the Government Spokeswoman Camilla Vallejo, who also has her story hahaha. Returning to Boric, he managed to block the fifth withdrawal of funds from the AFPs, which are the pension system, which lowered his approval, repress with the police (carabineros they are called here), the union of truck drivers and workers of oil companies. In addition to having lied to his voters, promising them a thousand wonders, his most staunch followers, as I call them "BoricLovers", defend him from every stupidity or somersault he does, it is impressive that they have him on a pedestal, but with Piñera they did not have no problem criticizing him and calling him a dictator hahahahaha
I am chilean and completely disagree. In two months this government has made the biggest increase to the minimum wage in the last 29 years, has signed various important enviromental policies, has shown a real willingness to listen to the demands of the people and, on top of that, has been responsible keeping the inflation (which is not their fault, but a problem that's affecting the entire world) in check even when they had to make unpopular decissions. All the problems that you mention are just propaganda by the TV networks owned by millionaires interested in the downfall of this government, the new constitutio and various social movements. It really shows that you only became interested in politics after 2019, because otherwise you'd see that this government has been relly diffent to what we're used to in a possitive way, even when they have all the media and the congress against them and they have to confront one of the most difficult times in recent history. You just repeat propaganda without actually understanding the political context of your own country.

Terrible video, Im chilean and u interviewd only socialist people, u can notice how they probably voted for boric, they change the real story, Kast isn't ''pinochetista'', he has said that many times, his grandfather wasn´t nazi, he was a soldier for the germans during world war 2, he was forced to fight by germany if they didnt kill him. Kast ain´t from the far right party, he´s from the Republican Party which is from the right. 80's constitution from Chile made during Pinochet's governament has made the country grow during the last 40 years, becoming the most developed country in south america and one of the richest in the region. That constitution was even changed during Ricardo Lagos' governament, changing many of the articels of the 80's constitution. You can even watch on youtube interviews of Jose Antonio Kast he has told his familiar story on tv programs many times.
Inflation was up by 100s even in 1972. Socialism never works and if it does only for a limited time until people realize they can not work and get the Same benefits as everyone else. The economy of Chile was in the bottom 3 of Latin America or even the world I believe in early 1970s, and today, with their capitalist society since 1975, is in the top 3 of Latin countries. The government was dictator like sure, but only until 1990, and today it is going pretty well.

This is the furthest left party that the county has had since the dictatorship.

And they are starting to look everyday more closer to how Venezuela started its decline. Where they are attempted to remove powers of the senate, which represents the different states of the country (which are pourer, so hypocritical again, socialist taking power away from the pour), which just seems a ploy to concentrate power on the capital, which has a much larger number of left wing people than in the rest of the country.

Maybe part of it is that there were many people willing to accept or welcome that involvement at various points in time. I wonder what kind of relationship Latin American leaders had behind closed doors with American foreign agents/politicians.
Chile became the richest country in Latin America through neoliberalism and not just for the rich. It was easily the nicest place to live in latin america for the common person. It had the hughest standard of living and has since been squandering it with socialist policies.
I think enshrining a capitalistic system into Chile via its constitution was probably the best thing that they could have ever done. Look at its neighbor Argentina, people there constantly vote leftists into government and its a complete disaster. Pinochet was a brutal dictator but leaning too far into socialism in a country that is not yet high income is a recipe for a catastrophe orders of magnitude worse than Pinochet (i.e Venezuela, Cuba, Argentina). Chile is the least corrupt, most prosperous country in Latin America by a mile, I wouldn't risk that by trying to transform its economic system. There has never been a Latin American country that has shown restraint with Left Wing policies and pursued Social Democracy like in Europe, because nepotism and corruption wins out and makes everyone poorer and less free.

Something to be noted and not mention in the video is that not only was the Chilean miracle not something that benefited the population but it was a total disaster.From 1974-1990 (Pinochet’s rule) gdp per capita stagnated and did not exceed 1974 levels until after he was ousted. Chile experienced two recessions,and unlike most countries were overtime poverty rates(which itself is a flawed statistic) have been decreasing since 1945 actually doubled from 20% extreme poverty to 40% by 1983.So even at the macro economic level Chile was a total disaster under Pinochet.Most of the growth did not start occurring until 1990 after he was ousted thanks to several reforms that undid some of the worse economic blunders of Pinochet.Such as the newly elected democratic government bringing back several top income taxes that would ensure the government budget would be supplied unlike before we’re it was in constant deficit.And this would allow for new programs and infrastructure to be persued by the public sector.Another thing that has to be mentioned is that Allende nationalized copper and it remains nationalized to this day,copper has accounted since then 20% or so of the Chilean economy to this day and was sometimes up to 30% so it always had a stabilizing effect for the rest of the economy.So even after death Allende did more for Chile than Pinochet did in 17 years.

The main reason is that he hasn't been able to deliver on his promises. Unfortunately part of this is because he took office right as the pandemic started, and that the majority conservative house and senate have been doing their best to block every single move he and his cabinet have attempted.
He's the right person for Chile, but terrible timing my country picked to put him in power. I hope he wins the re-election when he gets a chance; per Chilean law, presidents can only be elected twice, but cannot serve consecutive years; so he can run again in 2028.

As a matter of fact, the level of inequality in Chile has declined since 1990. The Gini coefficient was 57.3 in 1990 and declined to 44.4 by 2019. To be sure, the society needs to be much more equal than it is. But, for 30 years, the trend was in the right direction.
Certainly, the inequality in Chile has declined. Matter of fact, The Chilean institutions, based on the 80's Constitution work in order Neoliberal doctrine of a "subsidiary state". Setting natural conditions for those who have the ingress to success in the nation, while poor only can get into debt to live. The evolution of family's debt and income evolution in families depending their social-economical status are both prove that the trend you think is wrong. Plus, Gini coefficent in Chile is unsuitable in its measurement, because the data is provided by CASEN, an institution that can't really identify 1% richest wealth.

I want to clarify Allende was not a good guy whatosever, he armed local leftist miltias and formed a group of "special friends" which would back him entirely in his entire regime, chilean inflation skyrocketed and Allende started mass violence and persecution campaigns against local enterprises and massive expropriation processes of international companies in Chile, with mass lines of food shortages and the chilean economy declining, he was one of the worst presidents latin america ever had, and if he had lasted longer in power I cannot imagine what else the chilean people had to pass through under the reign of a president which was slowly cementing himself into power and making himself an autoritarian one.
you forgot to mention that Allende was a Nazi
Even if he was the worst president of the world nothing justifies a coup d'etat and kill thousands of civilians .
How Socialists won in Chile? They ditched their own candidate, then they followed the new left movement, and then they hijacked the new government (a government which was supposed to represent a new left movement ended up being a traditional socialist government).
Socialist were part of the first government after Pinochet in 1990. They were also part on the following government (1994-2000). The next Chilean president was a socialist, and was also followed by a socialist (Michelle Bachelet), who ruled from 2006 to 2010, and then from 2014 to 2018.
The current Chilean president is NOT a socialist.
“The constitution stopped them from challenging the country’s economic system”… What are you trying to say with that statement?
How can a constitution stop you from trying something? That does not make sense. THEY WANTED TO KEEP THE SYSTEM.
Socialists kept the economic system, they benefited from it, and they reduced poverty IN MORE THAN 30%:
In 1990, the percentage of people living in poverty in Chile was 38.6%. In 2013 the percentage of people living in poverty in Chile was 7.8%.
They haven´t reduced anything, in 2019 everything started because of a higher price at the subway (of only 30CLP which was less than dolar at that time, even less than a cent).
Everything was organized by the Communist Party of Chile and the Bolivarian Revolution who took place in Venezuela.
After "fighting for the people" during 2019 asking for a new system completely inspired by the marxist ideology, Gabriel Boric fought for the presidency during 2021 against José Antonio Kast, a right politician, but after Boric calling him nazi and extreme right (Gabriel used populism against Kast). Boric won the elections by lying to the people and after everything, the prices are already so much higher than before just in a few months.
Socialists didn´t reduced poberty, the economic way of Augusto Pinochet (The Chicago Boys) reduced poberty and that´s how Chle became one of the best countries in South America, actually, the best in growing economy.
During that time of 1990 to 2013 everything was measured by the constitution of Pinochet, after the changes of the "NO Vote" that was just for Pinochet leaving the presidency (After he offered to give back democracy, exactly). So all the changes of poberty, inflation and PIb were made by the right politicians. (One of them "Jaime Guzmán" was killed by the lefties during 1991.)

DO NOT BE FOOLED! Ever heard of the term "Captains of Industry" (in the West), well, that terminology is NOT different in meaning and definition, to other terms that are utilized in other economies to describe Government Sponsored Investors in it's strategic economic sectors---not EVERY American can invest directly in the defense industry, foreigners less so. There are also other strategic sectors that the 'American Dream', cannot apply without Government Clearances or say so. In Russia they call their Government Sponsored captains "Oligarchs", and they are very closely tethered to the Kremlin---in China they are called, nothing, but when they operate outside of China we refer to them as "State sponsored entities", even though they act and behave like private corporations, however, they report to the CCP...
We often pretend that Capitalism unlike Socialism or Communism has nothing to do with the Government, but it's blatantly obvious that behind EVERY Corporation, the true power behind it is the Government money that it shells for, specifically on international commerce....
The Wests war against the Russian Oligarchs for the Kremlin's invasion of the Ukraine is testament as to who own's much of the wealth behind the oligarchy's corporations....
In consideration to the above inference, we can also begin to view and understand Western Corporations --- and question, if truly the Western govt's hold hidden sway in those strategic Fossil Fuel corporations, who calls the shots, and what intentions do they hold in-regards to Climate Change?

Marxism is a political philosophy developed by Prussian (German) philosopher Karl Marx that focuses on class struggle and various ways to ensure equality of outcome for all people. Marxism and Marxian analysis have various schools of thought, but the basic idea is that the ruling class in any nation has historically oppressed the lower classes, and thus social revolution is needed to create a classless, homogeneous society. Marxism teaches that the best system of government is one in which wealth is distributed equally, there is no private property (ownership of productive entities is shared by everyone), and every citizen gives selflessly to the collective. The purported goal of Marxism is a government-run utopia in which the needs of each individual are always provided for. Ideally, the strong work hard, the inventive create technological marvels, the doctors heal, the artists delight the community with beauty, and anyone who is weak or poor or in need can draw on society’s combined resources as their needs demand. When this idealistic model is attempted in the real world, it is called “socialism,” “communism,” “statism,” “liberalism,” or “progressivism,” depending on the degree to which the model is explored and implemented.
Thus far, Marxism has never worked in real life-and, without exception, in the places where Marxism has been the governmental model, Christians have been persecuted. That’s because there’s a foundational difference between Marxism and Christianity, a deep divide that cannot be bridged. There are several aspects of Marxism, as a philosophy, that put it at odds with the Christian faith. Here are a few:
Marxism is, at heart, an atheistic philosophy with no room for belief in God. Karl Marx himself was clear on this point: “The first requisite of the happiness of the people is the abolition of religion” (“A Criticism of the Hegelian Philosophy of Right,” 1844). Christianity, of course, is rooted in theism and is all about God. In the Marxist model, the state becomes the provider, sustainer, protector, and lawgiver for every citizen; in short, the state is viewed as God. Christians always appeal to a higher authority-the God of the universe-and Marxist governments don’t like the idea of there being any authority higher than themselves.
One of the basic tenets of Marxism is that the idea of private property must be abolished. Where Marxism has taken root, land owners see their property confiscated by the state, and private ownership of just about anything is outlawed. In abolishing private property, Marxism directly contradicts several biblical principles. The Bible assumes the existence of private property and issues commands to respect it: injunctions such as “You shall not steal” (Deuteronomy 5:19) are meaningless without private property. The Bible honors work and teaches that individuals are responsible to support themselves: “The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat” (2 Thessalonians 3:10). The redistribution of wealth mandated by Marxism destroys accountability and the biblical work ethic. Jesus’ parable in Matthew 25:14-30 clearly teaches our responsibility to serve God with our (private) resources. There is no way to reconcile Marxism with the parable of the talents.
Marxism is ultimately about material things; Christianity is ultimately about spiritual things. Frederick Engels, a close associate of Karl Marx, said that Marx’s greatest insight was that “men must first of all eat, drink, have shelter and clothing before they can pursue politics, science, art, religion and the like” (“Speech at the Grave of Karl Marx,” Highgate Cemetery, London. March 17, 1883, transcribed by Mike Lepore). In other words, Marxism seeks to meet the needs of man and posits that, until those needs are met, man is incapable of any aspirations higher than an animal-like existence. Jesus taught, “Do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? . . . Seek first [God’s] kingdom and his righteousness” (Matthew 6:26, 33). Marx taught, “Seek first man’s kingdom and the stuff of this world.” Jesus’ words are the antithesis of communism and Marxism, and it’s one reason why Karl Marx reviled Christianity.
The utopia that Marxism seeks to develop is earthly and man-made; Christians look to the Lord Jesus to establish a heavenly, perfect kingdom some day. Believers understand that, given man’s sinful nature, there is no perfect system in this world. Greed and abuse of power and selfishness and laziness will taint even the purest motives.
Some people attempt to combine Christianity with Marxist philosophy. Their attempts may be well-meaning, but they are impractical. The Puritans in the New World tried communal living for a while. When the Plymouth Colony was founded, there was no private property, and all food was distributed equally amongst all, regardless of one’s job (or work ethic). But that system, lacking any incentive to hard work, was soon abandoned as a complete failure. See “Of Plymouth Plantation” by Plymouth Colony Governor William Bradford for the full story.
Attempting to combine Christianity with Marxism also ignores their widely divergent views on sin, God, equality, responsibility, and the value of human life. Of course, some people point to Acts 2:44-45 as proof that Christianity is compatible with communism: “All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need.” Two things must be said here: first, this passage, as with much of Acts, is , not ; that is, this passage contains no command for the church to function this way; it is simply a description of what the early church in Jerusalem did to meet some unique and urgent needs. There is no indication that such extensive sharing was ever copied by other New Testament churches. Second, the communal arrangements in Acts were completely and motivated by the love of Christ. Any attempt to apply this to , secular (godless) communism really makes no sense.
When Frederick Engels heard that some Christians were using Acts 2 to promote socialism, he wrote against melding his philosophy with Christianity: “These good people are not the best Christians, although they style themselves so; because if they were, they would know the bible better, and find that, if some few passages of the bible may be favourable to Communism, the general spirit of its doctrines is, nevertheless, totally opposed to it” (“Progress of Social Reform on the Continent,” in , 3rd Series, Nos. 19, Nov. 4, 1843, transcribed by Andy Blunden). According to Engles, the Bible and Marxism are “totally opposed.”
In short, the Bible promotes freedom and personal responsibility, and neither of those concepts lasts long under Marxism. There’s a reason why, in Marxist states such as Communist China and Vietnam and the old Soviet Union, Christians are always persecuted-the ideas espoused by Marxism are antithetical to the teachings of Jesus Christ. The differences are irreconcilable.

Will it make a difference if at your job you get pay and also get a part of the profits? Part of the profits to maintain and improve the business and part for everyone, remember that you, the employee, are the ones who produce, transform and generate wealth. Or maybe you want to be the "investor" do nothing and receive everything just because he put "his" money, in this model even if you work you will never have the same as the investor, curiously in this model only the employee works makes wealth but are not rich. Seems like you have to have money first to make money, or better says… “to put others to make money for you”
"Hm they think they won't don't they?"- Misterious Country that spreads freedom
I will write this with a translator, since by only having the ability to understand part of what he says in the video, it would be difficult for me to write it.
I began to be interested in politics from the estallido social, which was a time bomb that politicians did not solve any problem of the middle class, the bad thing was that this movement moved radically to the left, this is confirmed by movements called "pueblo constituyente" or "lista del pueblo", which in their time were considered "neither left nor right". Already mentioned about that, during the presidential elections, people like Daniel Jadue or the current president Gabriel Boric, claimed the flag of the explosion, when Jadue kicked him out of the place, it did not correspond from my point of view.
To make it more summarized, Boric won because Jose Antonio Kast generated rejection, he is from the extreme right, it was very difficult for him to win and this government has already passed 2 months, it has been a disaster.
Aside from doing somersaults, inflation has been characteristic and an issue to be resolved, the problem is that its "solutions" are pure public spending, subsidies and reforms that, in the long run, harm us more. The interior minister, who is like a vice president, Iskia Siches, is the one that has done the worst, one of the characteristics of the government is "dialogue", but that attempt failed when speaking with the father of Camilo Catrillanca, that area that is the Araucania region is known for being the seed of Mapuche terrorism, there are groups of the extreme left that are now against the government and calling them "covert right-wingers", they also had that habit of lying, like when they blamed Rodrigo Delgado (former minister) to cover up a flight with illegal immigrants, in itself to be loose mouth and now it is being controlled by the Government Spokeswoman Camilla Vallejo, who also has her story hahaha. Returning to Boric, he managed to block the fifth withdrawal of funds from the AFPs, which are the pension system, which lowered his approval, repress with the police (carabineros they are called here), the union of truck drivers and workers of oil companies.
In addition to having lied to his voters, promising them a thousand wonders, his most staunch followers, as I call them "BoricLovers", defend him from every stupidity or somersault he does, it is impressive that they have him on a pedestal, but with Piñera they did not have no problem criticizing him and calling him a dictator hahahahaha

I am chilean and completely disagree. In two months this government has made the biggest increase to the minimum wage in the last 29 years, has signed various important enviromental policies, has shown a real willingness to listen to the demands of the people and, on top of that, has been responsible keeping the inflation (which is not their fault, but a problem that's affecting the entire world) in check even when they had to make unpopular decissions.
All the problems that you mention are just propaganda by the TV networks owned by millionaires interested in the downfall of this government, the new constitutio and various social movements.
It really shows that you only became interested in politics after 2019, because otherwise you'd see that this government has been relly diffent to what we're used to in a possitive way, even when they have all the media and the congress against them and they have to confront one of the most difficult times in recent history.

twistedyogert you are partially correct, however Venezuela mismanaged its economy incredibly and their president didn’t wanna hear it from people who told him the right way to do things
Most people in Middle east and North Africa are extremely conservatives. They can't achieve Revolutions when you believed in the Old establishment.
Why is the US in every country interfearing in other countries internal affairs?
One simple reason Apple Suck..................$$$$$$$$.!!
Because every strong country does. If you reject to do that, you lose influences, sometimes in favour of much worst regime.
I still don’t know how we ended up in Ukraine…
Give me a time period when the most powerfull nation did not interfear with other nations internal affairs since nations were invented? (and countries/kingdoms before that)
"DEMOCRACY!!!!!!!"
Everyday this video ages worse. Shouldn’t have had such a premature celebration huh?
If the majority of Chileans vote for socialism, then this is a democracy, not a dictatorship.
Democracy can lead to tyranny. Look at jim crow.
but it's only democratic and fair when people vote for pro-west capitalist parties
They didnt vote for socialism, they voted for a centerleft goverment dude. You dont even know what the Word "socialism" means
@@EPK123 he's the kind of person who thinks having a welfarist system is the equivalent of the holodomor
@@NBrioDaZueraRules Holodomor is a myth of Ukrainian nationalists. So you wrote complete nonsense. Is the social security system a myth?
The CIA must be panicking.
They're also plotting

Plotting to make the same mistakes........all over.!!!!
Not very bright......ducky.!!!!
Only this time, they're more distracted on Russia-Ukraine conflict that's why Chile remains unharmed by the CIA yet.
CIA has not cared in the least about socialism in Latin America since the fall of USSR. In fact, US is itself is now highly socialistic. Only 30-40% of Chile voted for Allende. US does disapprove of Maduro’s government, which has destroyed Venezuela, but has done very little to oppose Maduro.

Would love to see a video on your statement "like how charter schools decimated public education in the US"
I second that !
It's fairly straightforward: public funds are diverted from public schools to often for-profit, poorly regulated private schools
@@Samuel-wb8uo wait till you learn about what they do with public school funds..
Families that place value on education should not be forced into public schools with families that reduce the educational experience of their children. Who you surround yourself with will ultimately determine who you become as a person. Free education is a privilege that everyone should enjoy but unfortunately, many ppl treat it as a chore affecting everyone who is forced to share the experience with you. We should have the option to choose the experience we want, children who show commitment and talent should be glorified.
Such BS. A charter school IS PUBLIC. They just have a charter with some additional rules they can make.
Al Jazeera in Arabic: Islamic fascism is cool and more conservative and despotic than Muhammad himself.
Al Jazeera in English: Socialism is cool and super progressive.
No hypocrisy here nothing to worry about.

It's not hypocrisy, it's a plan.
hit the nail on this one
So we're gonna ignore that Pinochet and other "capitalists" were fascists as shown in this video? And ignore that you can be a fascist for BOTH socialism and capitalism?
lol, lmao
The constitution didn’t pass.
Hmm…
Maybe…
You didn’t actually represent what is going on in Chile? Just a thought.

Closer to the Western-European kind of Socialism than the Asian kind. But anyhow Chilean society has kept quite politically balanced and civilized since the return of democracy in 1990, and as such we have learnt that moderation and peace-keeping is the most economically successful method of governing for us
spoiler alert: Chile will be the tomb of socialism once again

Terrible video, Im chilean and u interviewd only socialist people, u can notice how they probably voted for boric, they change the real story, Kast isn't ''pinochetista'', he has said that many times, his grandfather wasn´t nazi, he was a soldier for the germans during world war 2, he was forced to fight by germany if they didnt kill him. Kast ain´t from the far right party, he´s from the Republican Party which is from the right. 80's constitution from Chile made during Pinochet's governament has made the country grow during the last 40 years, becoming the most developed country in south america and one of the richest in the region. That constitution was even changed during Ricardo Lagos' governament, changing many of the articels of the 80's constitution. You can even watch on youtube interviews of Jose Antonio Kast he has told his familiar story on tv programs many times.
Inflation was up by 100s even in 1972. Socialism never works and if it does only for a limited time until people realize they can not work and get the Same benefits as everyone else. The economy of Chile was in the bottom 3 of Latin America or even the world I believe in early 1970s, and today, with their capitalist society since 1975, is in the top 3 of Latin countries. The government was dictator like sure, but only until 1990, and today it is going pretty well.
No shit Inflation will be up when the US puts a complete blockade on you
@@hex2637Inflation was up by 1000% in 1973. That has nothing to do with blockades.

Bring back Pinochet
First leftist government?, there has been 3 center-left governments, 2 right-wing governments, and 3 socialist governments, and part of his cabinet are members of the communist party. This is the furthest left party that the county has had since the dictatorship.
But the issue here is not the government, socialism also has its function in society, the issue is the people working on writing the new constitution, its just sad watching the clowns writing it, as they are complete hypocrites on the same issues that they supposedly are attempting to fix.
And they are starting to look everyday more closer to how Venezuela started its decline. Where they are attempted to remove powers of the senate, which represents the different states of the country (which are pourer, so hypocritical again, socialist taking power away from the pour), which just seems a ploy to concentrate power on the capital, which has a much larger number of left wing people than in the rest of the country.
Its just a shit show really.

@@giasifman9050 He saved Chile from communism and the lasting damage to life and civilization that causes. He then gave up his power voluntarily. While I disagree with this it shows great character and that he really cared about his country and people.

Maybe they should have been right wing dictatorships that did it and then maybe at least the world would care enough to remember them.

th-cam.com/video/3IuyyjmEDbo/w-d-xo.html
what makes me really sad about my south american friends is the fact that we all in Latin america tend to forgot our recent history... american interventionism in our countries was real and drowned our efforts to make life better for everyone. Yet it is an almost unnoticed topic nowadays...
Maybe you shouldn't have invited communists to our backyard
Interesting fact but the us actually has an history of anti capitalist
I'm with you
Maybe part of it is that there were many people willing to accept or welcome that involvement at various points in time. I wonder what kind of relationship Latin American leaders had behind closed doors with American foreign agents/politicians.

Easy to see the monster in Russia. Far harder to see the monster in America.
Chile is not in its best momemt, and the current situation is NOT to celebrate
Chile became the richest country in Latin America through neoliberalism and not just for the rich. It was easily the nicest place to live in latin america for the common person. It had the hughest standard of living and has since been squandering it with socialist policies.
and then immediately lost
Hell yeah, Chile rejected socialism AGAIN !!! VIVA LA LLIBERTAD !!!
The argentinization of Chile, and Mexico, and Colombia, it worked so well in Cuba and Venezuela that its now being exported.
argentina is a right wing capitalist country and has always been, stop blaming the failures of your system on socialism
i'm from cuba and my country is perfect and easily the best country in all of the americas, and venezuela is the best in soth america
@@NBrioDaZueraRulesVenezuela is the best in South America?😂 This is delusional. Argentina is Socialist especially Kirchenerism.
I think enshrining a capitalistic system into Chile via its constitution was probably the best thing that they could have ever done. Look at its neighbor Argentina, people there constantly vote leftists into government and its a complete disaster. Pinochet was a brutal dictator but leaning too far into socialism in a country that is not yet high income is a recipe for a catastrophe orders of magnitude worse than Pinochet (i.e Venezuela, Cuba, Argentina).
Chile is the least corrupt, most prosperous country in Latin America by a mile, I wouldn't risk that by trying to transform its economic system. There has never been a Latin American country that has shown restraint with Left Wing policies and pursued Social Democracy like in Europe, because nepotism and corruption wins out and makes everyone poorer and less free.

@@nickiiminajj9148 No it’s pretty practical. Wanting rapid change under a guy who is no better than the previous government will lead to disaster.
