If people are wondering why this was posted today, 9/11/1973 is the date of the US-supported coup of the democratically-elected government of Chile.

Then US has the audacity to whine about their own 9/11 while completely forgetting what they did to other countries.

Both were wrong. And this is not the only misdeed sponsored by the US government. It's just one of many.

Yes of course but you cannot play the victim game when it's your own actions leading to that moment.

It was still a terror attack where people who were not involved with the government decisions in question were killed.

The people can't be held accountable for actions of individuals in their government.

If you're interested in Project Cybersyn, maybe you should read into Paul Cockshott's proposals and book: Towards a New Socialism, were he explains exactly why and how computers should be used in the planning of the economy. Paul Cockshott has a PhD in CS and a BA in Economics. Really great stuff, I'm sure it'll shape the economics of the future, when we get over this nonsense.

It is an interesting idea that the main reason socialism failed economically was the lack of online Excel.
