As Britain seems to be sleep-walking into a racist capitalist corporate state, I recommend all to read Kate Clark's wonderful memoir Chile In My Heart (Bannister Publications).
Forty years ago Chile had a progressive government led by Salvador Allende that communists Kate and her partner Ricardo heartily embraced. But Uncle Sam didn't want this strategic Latin American country to escape its control, first fomenting industrial strife and then arming a fascist coup.
The massacres that followed drove out or wiped out the cream of the left. It is a lesson in fascist tactics and needs to be understood by all countries moving towards an anti-capitalist government.
