Important to remember that history does not move in a straight line. Things can get worse and then get better again.

On Sunday the Chilean people can vote for a new constitution, replacing the old anti-democratic one written by the dictator Pinochet with a new one guaranteeing rights to health, housing, education, and a habitable planet. I am proud to support this effort.

If socialist Bernie Sanders praises the new Chilean constitution then this may be a historical case where the more things change the more they stay the same.

Marxism killed a hundred million in the last century. When are you going to learn?

The real question is whatโ€™s โ€œbetterโ€? What is progress? We all like the words. We just differ, sometimes violently, on their meaning. The only inevitability is change.

Yes ... Change is always possible ... If We change ... our Circumstances will change ... which will change the People around us ... which will change our Country ... and eventually ... it will change our Planet!

I highly recommend #PRIMERA. This is a documentary about how the citizens of #Chile๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฑ organized to fight the #NEOLIBERALISM imposed on them by the #USEmpire๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ 1973 coup. I saw it on #HBOMax. primerafilm.com/

And then they can run as smoothly as the United States. ๐Ÿ˜

Usually things get worse before people realize and fight for change

Things got worse. My Chilean relatives and many desperate workers there went for a Saudi-Russian-UAE -Texas style extractive resource economy with trickle-down promises cutting out women, indigenous people , and the environment since they are against โ€œprogre$$โ€.

I am so hopeful the efforts we will make at the bidding of our oligarchs will not derail this historic effort. The Chilean people deserve to have their lives and environment protected from the rapcious excesses of capitalism.
