- Teocali 2y agoI think you mean legally. And yes, yes, Hitler came to power legally. Doesn’t mean it came to power through some elections, which was my point. And calling Alende a dictator need some Shutzpah. On this point, I think we would have to stop at the « agree to disagree » level.

- Teocali 2y agoFirst, I never said than a dictator never came to power through fair and healthy election. Just that it is rare, much rarer than a lot people think. Second, I would say that the jury is still in debat for Bukele. Yes, it’s re-election is anti-constituai but he seems to still have the support of the population, as the election seemed to be fair and healthy. But I agree that his legal shenningans to allow for his re-election don’t bode well for the future. Let’s wait and see.

- Teocali 2y agoThanks
- yakireev 2y agoIn a typical retelling of Chilean 9/11 there indeed was a guy who abused his power to become a dictator, but that was not Allende. It seems that the story you have is different from the one I have. Could you tell yours?
