Talk:Salvador Allende

Can we just settle his manner of death once and for all???

Chilean courts repeatedly ruled his death as a suicide, after two autopsies of his body clearly showed that he died by suicide. His family had also long accepted that he died by suicide, and mentioned that he had suggested the possibility of taking himself out days before the coup. And yes, he did have an AK-47 and carried it around in several pictures. He even said in his last speech that those were his "últimas palabras". He planned to do it.

Template:Reflist-talk The manner of his death was self-sacrifice. He choose to die to save his family- Pinochet had offered a plane to fly President Allende and his family out of the country, but Allende knew that, if he was on the plane, it would be shot down and his family wiped out- there was a recording of Pinochet, from that day saying this was his plan. Salvador Allende choose to sacrifice himself to protect his wife and children- it was heroism, and should not be implied to be cowardice, or admission of failure or wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:603:4E00:AD10:F813:3B23:1ACB:F7F4 (talk) 21:26, 12 August 2023 (UTC)

Alleged CIA coup backing

Describing the 1973 Chilean coup as "CIA backed" exaggerates the CIA's role. 2600:1700:19E0:36C0:152D:2060:20CE:1482 (talk) 07:16, 17 February 2023 (UTC)

Not only that, but the CIA played no role in organizing or orchestrating the coup in the first place Kingllama100 (talk) 04:37, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

The page for Kennedy should be used as a template to avoid bias

That is, there should be a heading titled "assassination". 208.98.223.47 (talk) 01:26, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

Real Wages

The article states:

"Although the acceleration of inflation in 1972 and 1973 eroded part of the initial increase in wages, they still rose (on average) in real terms during the 1971–73 period."

According to the published paper in a development econ journal cited at various points in this very article (DOI: 10.1257/jep.21.1.169), which is also the source of the graph showing wage growth in real--not nominal terms--this is simply not true. I think this sentence should be removed from the article. Anthonyrolandb (talk) 20:10, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

Massive deletion

@Moneytrees I didn't revert your massive edit because, before doing so, I wanted to confirm: was the edit summary saying this was all copyvio???? Simonm223 (talk) 21:43, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

@Simonm223 Yeah, all of it, unfortunately. It's all from Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/Zictor23, which goes back to 2009... I can provide some side by side comparisons if anyone's interested. This basically just affected the policy sections; most of the text came from Politics and Ideology in Allende's Chile, Political Change in the Third World, A History of Chile, 1808–1994, and Latin America in the Era of the Cuban Revolution; there's more but those were the most extensive ones. I wouldn't normally remove so much content and initiate such a large revdel, but this was a particularly blatant and extensive one. I'm not happy to do this, but I don't think there's an alternative, unfortunately... Moneytrees🏝️(Talk) 21:57, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

That is very unfortunate. Thank you for clarifying. Simonm223 (talk) 22:08, 27 April 2025 (UTC)
