Nationwide curfew decreed in Chile amid mass blackout
About 98% of Chile's population was left Tuesday without electricity, prompting President Gabriel Boric Font to decree a curfew between 10 pm to 6 am Wednesday with 3,000 troops deployed nationwide. The outage began at 3.16 pm after a failure in an ISA InterChile transmission line between Vallenar and Coquimbo, causing a chain reaction that disconnected key parts of the national grid. Boric said the incident was “intolerable,” and vowed to hold the subsidiary of Colombia’s ISA accountable. Read full article

The fight against social inequality and income concentration is always carried out decisively by the State. Where the State is weak or non-existent, the Law of the Plain (the law of the strongest) prevails.
Neoliberal capitalism, where what matters is rentierism and the multiplication of money without the corresponding multiplication of production, is what is destroying the West and several countries in the South.
Brasileiro unfortunately does not reflect my country's overall success.

Feb 26th, 2025 - 04:26 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Does Brasileiro the genius have anything very intelligent to say about the very regular blackouts in communist Cuba?
No, he does not.
Bras sounds just like fat Nicolas Maduro, the dictator of Venezuela.
Nicolas Maduro says capitalism is run by the “Law of the Strongest”. Then Maduro proceeds to use the police to disappear everybody.
Actually, what is carried out “decisively” by the Communist state, is the oppression of the masses to maintain their enslavement.
The masses live like slaves to maintain the wealthy, very inequal, lifestyles of their Communist masters.
Russia, North Korea, China, Iran, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Cuba.
As soon as anybody with a brain speaks, Bras knows he has to keep his idiot mouth closed.
A true campus communist moron.
He can only speak up first. Never in response.
If he says anything else, he just proves he's very stupid even more.
The fact that Brasso admires regimes that have institutionalized torture shows you where his real interest lies. He wants to be able to torture and rob anyone that has worked for a living. Let's hope he continues to go through life an abject failure...
