Interesting how the nay sayers are so ingrained in their predatory capitalist vision that they assume the only other option is full on communism, nevermind the whole spectrum of possibilities between what Chile has and that.

In a few months they will be regretting this celebration

there is nothing to celebrate. Best Chile times has gone.

Así seguimos adelante! Viva Chile mierda! ❤️🇨🇱❤️🇨🇱

No solo la Constitución de Pinochet o Jaime Guzmán, si no todo el abanico de políticos de la Concertación que se acomodaron a ese instrumento. No es solo un triunfo popular sobre Piñera, es un triunfo sobre un modelo económico y social que solo trajo inequidades insostenibles.

'uncertainty' like concerns over 'debt' hard to take seriously after trump

So, how long til the people of Chile start fleeing to the US?

I am Chilean🇨🇱, and although I am scared for what is coming, I am also very happy for the result of the plebiscite and because we have the possibility of making a better country!❣️💪✨

Imagine the tears at the guardian newsroom 😂

Great news

With the socislist government of Allende chileans had to queue to buy bread and flour. With their current Constitution they became one of the richest and prosperous countries in latam. They allow the left to grow back again and with the help of antifa Chile will go back to misery

Good for them. That’s a brave undertaking but it sounds like they’re off to a good start.

Congratulations 🎉🎉🎊👏🎉👏
