Pinochet is dead. It is time to kill the system that spawned him! Freddy W. 2006-12-16 3:24 PM

The fact that the death of Pinochet on Sunday sparked off celebrations in Chile and around the world should surprise no one. He was a hated figure, a living symbol of the real face of the bourgeoisie. In "normal" times the capitalists prefer to govern through "democratic" parliamentary means, so long as their fundamental interests are guaranteed. But the capitalist system cannot always guarantee that its interests can be defended through parliamentary means. History is full of examples where the bourgeoisie has preferred to do away with the niceties of "democracy"... Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, Suharto... the list is endless. (image/png)

Pinochet, chief of the mass murderers, dies Clase contra Clase 2006-12-12 1:30 PM
