Salvador Allende was sworn in as President of Chile on this day in 1970. His presidency represented the attempt to establish a socialist society via parliamentary means in defiance of US influence.
The main focus of Allende’s policy during his presidency from 1970 to 1973 was the expropriation of essential pillars of the economy, such as mineral resources and large foreign companies and banks. By the end of 1971, the socialist government had taken control of more than 150 companies.
But Allende’s experiment in building socialism in Chile was crushed by a fascist coup led by Augusto Pinochet and backed by the US in 1973. Pinochet’s brutal rule lasted for nearly two decades, and over 40,000 people were tortured, killed, or disappeared.
🟡 Watch our documentary to uncover the factors that led to this pivotal moment in shaping Latin America's history. Was Allende a revolutionary, or merely a reformist trying to change a reactionary system through reforms? Watch Chile 1973: Reform or Revolution? here.

Today 70 years ago, Algeria launched its independence war against France, leading to a long and arduous struggle led by the Algerian National Liberation Front. The armed struggle of the Algerians tore down a system of racial and religious segregation, political disenfranchisement, and economic oppression.
The armed struggle of the Algerian people gave birth to the People's Democratic Republic of Algeria, a nominally socialist state in North Africa that became a role model for other colonized peoples on the African continent and around the world.

The US military has made its first confirmed purchase from OpenAI for its actively fighting forces with the mission of killing, The Intercept revealed in one of its investigations. The top AI company is being increasingly embedded within the US establishment.
The company behind ChatGPT has sold cloud computing services to the US Africa Command (AFRICOM) under its $9 billion Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability contract. AFRICOM calls access to OpenAI’s technology “essential” for its mission.
The move highlights OpenAI’s steady shift towards doing business with the Pentagon since it quietly deleted the portion of its terms of service that prohibited its use for “military and warfare” purposes earlier this year.
The automation of the US military will likely translate to a lot more recklessness and “collateral damage” in its warfare, Africa apparently serving as the US military’s “testing ground” for such technology.

During his visit to Crete, German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier faced protests from local residents demanding reparations for the Nazi’s destruction of the island.
The village that Steinmeier visited, Kandanos, was virtually wiped by German forces during WWII. They massacred the population in retaliation for their resistance to the Nazi invasion in 1941. The German state has apologized for the abuses, but refuses to discuss the issue of reparations.

Only the West’s enemy can escalate—when Russia allegedly brings in foreign troops it’s “desperate”; when Ukraine seeks the same, it’s deemed “necessary”. A double standard in escalation.

Spain is facing unprecedented devastation as floods ravaged communities in the south and east. In a matter of hours, torrential downpours brought down a year’s worth of rain, leading to collapsed bridges, cut-off roads and forcing thousands from their homes.
The delayed warnings from local and national authorities, the civil protection agency, and recent cuts to emergency services have shown how unprepared officials are and how they have underestimated the severity of the ongoing climate crisis.
