est malade
car horns (of joy?) going off in the street outside my apartment. weeping old ladies outside the military hospital on tv. oh no, not this again.
a lot of hardcore supporters became disaffected with pinochet, not because of the mass killings or dissapearances but because of the bank accounts. peole like thieves less than communists.
to be fair the country was falling apart with sectarian politics and the dictatorship served as an opportunity for the left to get their act together regarding democracy, you either want it or you don't. he implemented a politically conservative and economically liberal project that was in the works long before he came to power. arguably without this shock process the country would be in a different place, not necessarily good. the problem is people had to live in fear, be exiled, tortured, disappeared for this to happen.
i think a crowd is gathering outside, i'll take a look.
anyway he's dead. good. i don't have time for this, i need to work.
