PREFACE

The Chilean people suffer from two evils: capitalism and parliamentary system.

The Parliament in Chile has been stealing from the people for years. Parliamentarism is nothing but an obstacle to direct democracy.

This is why I am writing this. Chile is sick, and what is written here is the cure.

I want to clean up the nine plagues that are in my nation:

1. Bankers. This will be the hardest part, as Chile has been governed by the right since 1974. The Chilean government is made up of several bankers who steal from the people and destroy our nation.
2. Capitalists. Capitalism is the destroyer of nations. It is the enemy of humanity. Capitalism is imperialist because everything it touches becomes its “puppet”: it touched socialism and modern social democracy emerged; it touched the world and conquered it. It is almost impossible to end capitalism, but not impossible, as I already said.
3. Neo-Nazis and neo-fascists. Neo-Nazism (and neo-fascism) is nothing but Nazism and fascism with schizophrenia. Neo-Nazism is totally anti-nationalist, as it is capable of committing terrorism, thus destroying its nation.
4. Liberals. Current liberalism is garbage. Liberalism before — in its beginnings — maybe it was saved by a little, but not anymore. Current liberals are nothing more than insecure reactionaries. Liberalism destroys, because it destroyed democracy. We must differentiate democracy from liberalism.
5. The Parliament. Parliament destroys our nation, stealing from both the people and the nation. Parliament is full of bourgeois and reactionaries with identity issues. Parliament prevents us from having our beloved and necessary direct democracy based on workers' councils.
6. Reactionaries. Reactionaries try to sabotage us. Reactionaries have no side: they can be both left and right. Reactionaries are people who want the horrible exploitation of man by man to continue.
7. Right-wingers. The right in Chile has harmed us. Since before 1970, the right has committed terrorism. The right has always been anti-nationalist, as they killed René Schneider: Commander in Chief of the Chilean Army, whose doctrine was based on loyalty to the Constitution, respect for citizenship, and non-intervention in politics. The right is nothing more than a group of anti-nationalist plagues.
8. Centrists. Centrists are perhaps the worst, whether left or right centrists, because centrism, both economically and politically, is nothing more than an opportunistic idea. Those of us who want a new Chile want to end opportunism.
9. Leftists. While I am leftist, the current left is nothing more than a degeneration of the left. Now the left is totally capitalist, and there are few of us who want to return to the old left that was socialist and revolutionary. What happened to the Jacobins who initiated the left? The left has degenerated.

What I want is to return to the old left, a nationalist, socialist, revolutionary, and democratic left, because democracy is the only way to reach freedom.

I write this so that more people want to reach that old left that was not cowardly and that was not afraid of revolution because the current left (modern social democracy, liberals, etc.) is very cowardly. Cowardice is not for leftists, nor is it for nationalists. The left must return to that old nationalist left.

With this, I conclude this preface, which is more of an introduction.

Long live Chile!

FIRST PART: THE REVOLUTION

INTRODUCTION

The Chilean people suffer from two evils: capitalism and parliamentary system. I already said it in the Preface.

True nationalists want to end capitalism because of its anti-national nature, and we want to end parliamentary system because it attracts reactionaries to Chile and its government. Parliament is full of reactionaries and capitalists who only steal from the country, and this is a product of the current democracy that must be replaced by a direct one without parliamentary system. That's why Chileans must rise up in a National Revolution.

The worker must understand that capitalism robs them. But how are they going to understand if they keep voting for options that only harm them? Seeing what has happened in Chile, I asked myself: How, Chile? And I answered myself: We need a Revolution.

The Chilean Revolution must be like the 1851 Revolution in Chile. We must remember the French Revolution and follow its example because we must return to the old nationalist and revolutionary left. We must know the mistakes that caused the failure of the 1851 Revolution and not repeat them because we must succeed in our Revolution.

But how to do it if the people don't know how to rebel, don't want to, and are slaves to capitalism. The only way to make the people rebel is a crisis, such as extreme inflation or lack of bread. Even a dictatorship or much despotism.

The Revolution must be done to clean Chile, heal it, and establish direct democracy. Freedom will no longer be for the rich, but it will be something common.

The Revolution must be nationalist, violent, and socialist because nationalism is the path to socialism.

HOW TO REBEL?

The question “How to rebel?” is curious. To rebel, you need an army or group or faction. In the French Revolution, there were the Jacobins; in the 1851 Revolution, there were the Liberals; in the Russian Revolution, there were the Bolsheviks; in the Cuban Revolution, there was the M-26-7. And just as in those revolutions there was a revolutionary faction, we Chilean revolutionaries will need a name for our faction when the Revolution occurs.

We need to know the mistakes of those revolutions to avoid committing them and to be able to rebel successfully. That's why I name the mistakes:

1. French Revolution — Many suspicions and little trust and control over reactionaries. It is necessary to control reactionaries: that was the most serious mistake of the French Revolution.
2. Russian Revolution — A successful revolution in its beginnings, but a single party and a vanguard are triggers for totalitarianism and much opposition. While Lenin knew how to govern, all of that was destroyed when Stalin came to power.
3. Cuban Revolution — Very successful, but socialism was not established, only a State Capitalism. And as I said before, a single party is a great trigger for totalitarianism and opposition.
4. 1851 Chilean Revolution — Lack of conciseness. They were not clear and acted just to act.

I already mentioned the mistakes we need to know. Now what do we need? We need a young, revolutionary, and rebellious spirit. An unbreakable spirit that wants to rebel.

1. Youth and Revolution

Every revolutionary is young, no matter their age, they are young in spirit. The revolutionary spirit is a young spirit, and the reactionary spirit is old; one wants the new and the other the old. The Chilean Revolution must be composed of young people, not young in age, but in spirit.

Youthful spirits want to renew, not like old spirits. We want to renew through a revolution because we need to innovate, revolutionize, and end reactionary institutions that still exist, such as monarchies that are ruled and based on the reactionary spirit, as we already said is a reactionary spirit.

As revolutionaries, we must end all kinds of reactionary ideas that remain in the world. First nationally, then internationally. We will end the “Republican” Party, which is a reactionary party based on love for capitalism and a reactionary dictatorship. The “Republican” Party is nothing more than an anti-nationalist party willing to sell its Homeland to the Market.

And the Market is another enemy of revolutionaries. The so-called "Revolutionary Capitalism" group is nothing more than a reactionary group that doesn't even know what it is. If "Revolutionary Capitalism" were revolutionary, it wouldn't be capitalist. It's a poorly disguised reactionary capitalism.

Poorly disguised capitalism is not only in the so-called "Reactionary Capitalism" but also in the Patriotic Social Movement, a group of capitalist neo-Nazis poorly disguised. They call themselves third positionists, but if they were, they wouldn't be chauvinists because chauvinism is anti-nationalism.

2. ‘Possible Allies’

For our Revolution, we will need allies. But who? That's what I want to answer.

A possible ally could be the Communist Party of Chile, but they have moved away from communism and have become social democrats with an identity complex. They are also dogmatic.

Another possible ally could be the Radical Party of Chile, but they have become moderate. I wish they were revolutionary as before, but it's impossible.

So do we have no options?

Indeed, we have no allies. Although, if it still existed, the Manuel Rodríguez Patriotic Front (FPMR) could be an ally because they were true revolutionaries, as well as the Revolutionary Left Movement (MIR). But unfortunately, you can't have everything in this life.

Chileans are alone in this fight against capitalism and imperialism.
