In reality, Chile is the richest and soundest economy in South America and was the first country in the world to apply free market reform, moneterist policies and structural reform a la the Chicago School/Milton Freedman...all so despised by socialists
It's largely an observation of Economics. Of cousre, 'historically' , Pinochet was an out and out baddy, in the same vain that Regan was a dumb, idiotic cowboy. I'm not sure that things would have worked out so great either in Human Rights terms and certainly economic without the coup but we'll never know and dead lefties always remain heroes a la dead popstars. If the white russians had won I'm sure Stalin would be feted as a messiah in waiting cut off in his prime nowadays...

Aaah, good to have you back quids, banging that irrelevant drum. Amazed you didnt bring class into it, athough it's the strong middle class and cultural industriousness and onus on education that serves Chile so well.


Not having drug production (for the US) and smuggling (to the US) issues, and having been historically relatively free from the cancerous influence of the Monroe doctrine in latin America, it's been better poised to do well.

Argentina should be likewise if it didn't have so many kleptocrats in charge squandering it's immense wealth.


Not everything has to be viewed through the Milton vs Keynes lens you know.

    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
    • Was anyone else disturbed last night/early hours this morning by the party going on in someone’s garden on Crystal Palace road. Can’t see what house exactly but it’s around number 43 - 41… it was happening quite frequently last year. Seems it’s starting again! Very inconsiderate.
