The Chilean people demonstrated at the ballot box against the proposal of the new Constitution of Chile, with an unappealable result, according to the final official bulletin of the Electoral Service of Chile (Servel) with a 62% rejection of the constitutional project against a 38% of approval; the vote was mandatory, hence the participation has exceeded 13 million voters.

    This sounds an insane project. Instead of all this academic ‘leftist’ verbiage - we need a return to basic and commonsense slogans which connect to people and pose the question of power. Bread, land, peace etc.

    a lot of people were already skeptical at the beginning of this year, as chile has been maintaining political prisoners that really fought against the pinochet neoliberalism in the streets. i recall some critical discussions looming around the phrase, /neoliberalism was born it chile, it will die in chile/, which echoed the discussions of the revolutionary action in egypt which was crushed by sisi more recently

    At the risk of sounding too optimistic, I can’t help but wonder if these unsuccessful attempts at (modest) reform are only going to push the Chilean lower classes further leftward as their desperation worsens.
