Also good point @Fitzydog

Very good point

Your own people will inevitably turn corrupt

That's what power does

I had an old friend who had family in Chile. They were pretty based so I wonder what their take on it is

Thats why you remove the state @GeorgyBoyo

<:makes_you_think:382980749780844554>

They're not removing the state if they call themselves Socialists though

Argentina and Chile were infested with Liberation Theology by the soviets

The point is no one should have that much power. Centralized power is evil.

Socialists aren't really known to be for the little guys, the free market and the private industry

>accepting English speaking Wikipedia editors as fact

The whole spark that started this thing was an increase in state run bus fares. The protesters don't sound very anarchist to me if they want to rely on that sort of thing

State run bus fares and then sending police to intimidate students @-5K-

Very important thing to remember

Seems the state is already too big.

Not very neoliberal

The state is faaaar too big

But only in the bad areas

Lmao

Bruh

You're so naive it's hilarious

Also it says on the wiki page the rioters started it by burning down the stations, only after was a state of emergency declared and the military sent in @MountainMan

Yepp

It shouldn't be big in ANY AREA

Happened in Hong Kong too @-5K-

So.... The police were rightfully sent in

That is the fundamental problem with the state

Except Hong Kong is under a totalitarian dictatorship, Chile is a democracy

A democracy with problems but still a democracy

This server makes my head spin sometimes

The people have themselves to blame

Unlike Hong Kong

Most Europeans on this server:
>Sees that there's problems with the world
>supports the exact institutions and policies that led to said problems

^ this tbh

It's baffling

Huh? I am literally advocating for absolving the current state

The state is too BIG

But you complained about private water lol
