On June 25, miners from El Salvador,
Andina, El Teniente and Ventana mines carried out a total strike, which was
successful despite brutal police repression. Ever since, the tension at the
mines and confrontations with the police have been increasing due to the aggressive
and repressive attitude the company and the Bachelet government have adopted.

The death of Pinochet sparked off celebrations in Chile and around the
world. He was a hated figure, a living example of the real nature of
capitalism. He died without being brought to justice. But his was merely the
fate of one man. The task is to make sure that the system that created Pinochet
is buried once and for all. That task lies ahead of us.

There is another 9/11 to remember today, the Pinochet coup that
overthrew the Allende government in Chile. In 1979 Alan Woods posed the question of who was
behind Pinochet's coup. What interests was he defending? What were the policies
of the Allende government and why despite all warnings was he unable to
prevent the coup? Alan Woods had previously written an article in September 1971, two years before Pinochet's
military coup, in which he warned against the threat of a military coup if the
Popular Unity government failed to mobilise the masses and carry out a genuine
socialist programme.

On August 13 the Chilean Trade Union
Confederation (CUT) called a one-day general strike. This was the first general
strike since the fall of the Pinochet dictatorship. It marks the beginning of a
new epoch and has to be seen within the context of the general situation in the
whole of the South American sub-continent.

The arrest of former Chilean dictator Pinochet in London has generated a lot interest
about Chile. We take advantadge of this opportunity to publish a document written in 1979
by Alan Woods analysing the history of Chilean labour movement and specially the period of
the socialist coalition government of Allende. Who was behind Pinochet's coup? What
interests was he defending? What were the policies of the Allende government and why
despite all warnings was unable to prevent the coup?
