They were not fooling

I have said this many times to my friends, and I will say it one again. I seen the movie "La batalla de Chile" (I, II, III) and it really touched me. I remember watching this movie before but now I gave a special attention and dedication on three consecutive nights.

Many things I can say. The inner spirit that low class chilean people used to have on those days; people that have worked most of their lives, that have few years of schooling, although are very conscience of the situation of the country. They organize with their neighbors in "villas", "poblaciones" to act in union, like a big force. In a very natural way, brilliant people show themselves, they became leaders with their speeches, and those speeches, you can see, did not have any will of convincing other people to make their own will, or to grow up their egos, no, it was not like that; by the way people acclaimed those speeches you can see that those who spoke were thinking in the wellbeing of everybody in their "villas", "poblaciones" or even trying to argue what is the best thing that their government (because they say "this is my government") should do, always in a very respectful way.

I do not know, the documentary can not show us in a proper way, what is the mindset of the people against this long majority, most of them "the poor". Those who had studies, a house, a car, a good economical situation, are against the government of Allende. Why? They make strikes with professionals along every profession (either technical or specialized like medicals, engineers, businessman, etc.) Why? I do want to know why. The government was taking away their properties? were they losing money? were they opposed to the idea of society that socialism had?

People used to be so respectful in my country, so brave, so admirable. Nowadays, what we most have are individuals who take care of themselves.
