Chile state institutions Non-Bolshevik socialists Chile Chile 1908–1973 ✕ Suicide

First elected Marxist head of state; pursued the peaceful 'Chilean road to socialism' (copper, land, cybernetics) until the 1973 coup

“I am not going to resign! Placed in a historic transition, I will pay for loyalty to the people with my life.” — last radio address, La Moneda, 11 September 1973

The world's first democratically elected Marxist head of state. His 'Chilean road to socialism', nationalizing copper, redistributing land, and building the Cybersyn cybernetic planning system, was cut short by the 1973 military coup.
