  1. As the United States commemorates the 25th anniversary of 9/11, we must also remember the first 9/11 in 1973, when the U.S. overthrew the democratically-elected socialist government of Chile led by Salvador Allende and replaced it with the 17-year military dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet, who installed the notorious "Chicago Boys" to dramatically overhaul the country's economy, returning it to foreign control as it became the world's first neoliberal experiment.

    One of Allende's ambitious goals was Project Cybersyn, computerized planning of the economy that would connect Chile's factories to an economic simulator from whence the government could oversee production in real-time. This is a playlist focusing on Cybersyn and Chile under Allende.

    (It is well worth noting how the U.S.'s anticommunism led them to support the mujahideen fighters against Afghanistan's socialist government, branches of which became the Taliban and al-Qaeda, connections which are well-documented.)
