    Oh yeah cause it went so well for Chile. There was a government turnover and it fragmented the political parties so much that no one can agree on anything anymore.

    Oh and the new people in power are learning by improvising.

        If by coup you mean the rich trying to get richer, yeah the resistance worked.

        The problem came afterwards, when the people were handed the power to actually change something it became a circus.

        So the rich didn’t get the chance to make ridiculous changes like in the US right now. But all we were left with was status quo.

      I don’t disagree that it ended badly, but had the movement not been pacified by the government’s bait of reform and a new constitution, it could’ve been revolutionary.

      Your people showed the incredible potential of collective power and collective civil disobedience. The documentary shows both the victories, and the failures to learn from, just as Hong Kong did.
