A great and unique country called Chile.


The big companies all with its capital, its directors, shareholders,employees, without exception, in a free economy and democracy are absolutely necessary. As likewise, are necessary, small and medium enterprises and their workers. Also, are essential in a democracy and free markets, independent entrepreneurs and freelancers.

It is necessary to insist that this must happen within a framework of democracy and free market, where the state is an alternative agent and does not interfere in any way controlling the market. Is ideal,however, in Chile we have a serious problem.

Because it is quite true that the oligarchs do not trust in the free market, nor in democracies. And somehow they are right, because when it comes to defining this situation, we find that the struggle always has been that one sector of those citizens are attempting to socialize the market without putting even a dollar, because they say be "representatives of labor forces" (¿?).

In this our modern era, after all the experiences we have lived, we all know that in Chile, there have been big changes. We know very well what happened before the Military Government and former President Pinochet and what happened in the same government.

After the plebiscite which gave way to live in full democracy, the economic oligarchy (without flushing or prejudices) of Chile took the right path, thanks to the model inherited from the military government,and secure and advances in economic field, gave way to what we all know: the creation of large national companies and the attraction and settlement of transnational (global), nothing bad in this regard.

Is shown by macro-economic figures, Chile's economy is running very well in many aspects, so that anyone can dare to predict a promising future.

Where it gets bad? It is important to repeat: the great economic power have no confidence in the freedom of individuals, either on the open market, in fact, are corporatist in nature, and this is understandable. Company directors, owners of capital and companies have to look after their interests. And corporatism is essentially an interaction of "groups. "

But Chile and its Chilean, paid a high price to recover its democracy,ordinary citizens also do not want to repeat past mistakes.

But what about the Left, where it fits into all this? They have their reason to exist, as the enemies of the "capitalists " ... and they also are corporatist.

In Chile, the leftists have left that to be the enemies, now the ideology of confrontation, the class struggle, has become a "business " of scholars.

With the failures of socialism in Chile and elsewhere, finally Chilean leftists, have been shown as they are, and have faced the reality ..."You have to earn money but in large amounts" ... At last these people, understood that growth, development, progress depends on the work, invest and move capital.

But here came the problem for the rest of ordinary Chileans, rightists,centrists, leftists without adherence to the political parties, the Chileans without political color. The left and their troupes won the elections, but not to become the solution to bring development and progress for all in general.

The "joy" (1990-2010)... was only for politicians. Government departments throughout the whole country, the legislative chambers were filled with hundreds and thousands of new employees, and grew a state bureaucracy that gave birth to another oligarchy, a new breed politicians and bad politicians. And they ruthlessly took over that part of the national wealth, which corresponded to the rest of Chilean entrepreneurs, workers, medium and small businesses, and was not difficult because, as owners of political power, made their own business. With reforms and moves to catch the market in all its aspects, so that what was inherited from the military government and General Pinochet, who was a free market, open economy and a true democracy, were trapped by the"corporatism" director of both oligarchies.

Of the economic oligarchy, there should be no complaints from their activities, if those stop trying to captivate, to own and manage for themselves only the market and society. Stated plainly, that they end the prevailing neo mercantilism.

But our misfortune, the political oligarchy: that is the one to stop at all the ghosts, their immorality, vileness, wickedness, lies, cruelty, which seek to exhaust the patience of most of our society.

With all the human and natural wealth that exists in Chile, they have no right to have led the country to the situation in which it is, a country where the rich are too rich at the expense of the poor, too poor.

Because the political oligarchy hypocritically and shamelessly, is also an ally of economic power, both are supported, and cared for, are aided each other to subdue the Chileans, to manipulate, to plunge into the dark world of consumerism in debt, and make sheep who by necessity have to go where they want, sheep have to accept what they want to give as a benefit.

In Chile, two large companies are the monopoly of the print media.

Where are the opponents of the military government? Newspapers such as the "Fortin Mapocho", “La Epoca”, regional newspapers edited even in small towns, and dozens of magazines that circulated freely and financed with hundreds of journalists who could write what they pleased. in articles, essays, books, especially in the final years of the "dictatorship. "

The same applies to other media.

What I am saying is that just as captivated other areas of the market,they also caught the media, selected everything that has enabled them to "brainwash millions of Chileans. "

No wonder then, that the leftists want a "Constituent Assembly" is not surprising that the sheep of this sector, seen as the out put to become more democratic.

And what an amazing to be heard must post in a column from a right-wing conservative, and in a newspaper, essentially right (¿?).

Happily the matter is, among a large percentage of Chileans became aware that something is wrong as well, the public realized that here there is a "media manipulation" and some are shaking the brain detergent, and they are now looking to where they really should look.

We must also understand that the economic oligarchy known that the current travel companions can not be trusted, are fickle when they lose power.

The "constituent assembly"is a story ... is part of a deceptive rhetoric,that being a reality, it would separate most of the opportunity to recover the good place that corresponds to the majority, who work hard and move. in a great and unique country called Chile.
