The other 9/11 – The Pinochet Coup in Chile 1973

The capitalist media and commentators have given great emphasis to discussing the consequences and lessons of the 9/11 attacks on the Twin Towers in New York a decade ago. Yet this was not the first ‘9/11’. Following the first 9/11, thousands were slaughtered and thousands more tortured and suffered the horrific consequences which followed. This slaughter took place not in the US but in Chile on September 11th 1973. It was planned and executed not from the tribal territories of Afghanistan or Pakistan but in the head-quarters of the CIA and the White House, in collusion with the ruling elite in Chile and its armed forces. This 9/11 should be commemorated, and its lessons studied, by socialists and workers everywhere.

US – A graphic picture of decline

New book charts economic, social and political decay of America

 

“No one can say when the unwinding began – when the coil that held Americans together in its secure and  sometimes stifling grip first gave way. Like any great change, the unwinding began at countless times, in  countless ways – and at some moment the country, always the same country, crossed a line of history and  became irretrievably different”.

So begins George Packer in this tremendous book, The Unwinding, which paints a devastating picture of US  capitalism in decline. Similar to Packer, Karl Marx described the collapse of the Spanish Empire as a “slow and  inglorious decay”. The difference is that Spain’s decline took place over centuries, whereas the astonishing  collapse of the US – still, nevertheless, the strongest capitalist power on the planet – has been compressed  into 50 or 60 years!
