9/11 — we are all familiar with the New York Twin Towers catastrophe. But how many people nowadays know about an earlier 9/11 in another country — one financed and backed by the US government itself?
The September 11 1973 military coup d’etat in Chile has gone down in history as one of the world’s most savage, and the overthrow of the progressive, constitutional government of Dr Salvador Allende represented for many of us on the left an end to the possibility of achieving socialism by constitutional means.
