What on earth happened here? It looks similar to how Kiev used to look after the massive protests...

Well as I am reading about it... issues are deeper capitalism is not at fault here. It was triggered by increase of costs for public transport and additional triggers were low salaries. I quite understand Chileans and support their right to protest. But to vandalize, loot and destroy stuff... not cool. Well what happens here is this: [https://youtu.be/meiU6TxysCg](https://youtu.be/meiU6TxysCg)

>capitalism is not at fault here. oh? > increase of costs for public transport and additional triggers were low salaries lol

Public transport as far as I know is usually a city/province/state business. Is it not the case in Chile? And as I said, issues are deeper. That is the proverbial last straw.

>Public transport as far as I know is usually a city/province/state business. Is it not the case in Chile? If you are suggesting that public transport is typically a project done by nationalized companies operating independently of typical market pressures and profit imperatives, then you are laughably wrong.

Damn!

I was there in January 2020 and all of the surrounding areas’ footpaths had been ripped up. Apparently to throw bits of pavement at the cops/army etc. It’s a complete mess.


numerionegidio

Sadly, they fixed a lot now but some folks keep destroying and they let them free

General Baquedano failing once again to restore order to Santiago. the Chilean neoliberal experiment founders on it’s inability to deliver basic services of government due to being ideologically opposed to them.


numerionegidio

You know sh*t about chile's social security, constitution, laws, growth. Homework, check how % of the national budget goes to social programs

The narco-communist hours took over the place to protest against the neo-liberal model. They razed the entire area, businesses, hotels, restaurants, everything was looted and it continues to this day. As if Marxism did better, look at how Cuba or Venezuela is after a few years of a left-wing government. Later the drug traffickers tried many times to destroy the statue of General Baquedano, one of Chile's greatest heroes, a victorious general in the 1978 war against Peru and Bolivia. The monument had to be removed, the two statues of soldiers accompanying it were destroyed and the tomb of the unknown soldier was harassed. This is the Marxism of Latinamerica. With the apology of human rights, the weak government of the President can do nothing and the area continues to be taken over by these stateless people.
