It is too bad that Allende and the Popular Front pushed through such a radical agenda with roughly 30% of the popular vote. 

But then Neo-Marxists were never overly respectful of democracy and fellow citizens who did not agree with them.

Incidentally, I find a lot of similarities between the Neo-Marxist populist arrogance and the populism of rank and file members of the Republican party.  Just sayin'.

Fences that fail and fall to the ground
Bearing the fruit from Jara's Hands

Me siento solo y perdido
Una vela alumbra mi camino
Cruzando tierras que nunca he visto
Cruzando el rio de mi destino
Solo soy un chico mas
Que suena en alto y mirando al mar

All alone and lost
My path is lit by flame
Crossing lands never seen
Crossing rivers of my destiny
Only a boy nothing more
Day dreaming wanting more

American folksinger Phil Ochs, who met and performed with Vitor Jara during a tour of South America, organized a benefit concert in his memory in New York in 1974. Titled "An Evening With Salvador Allende", the concert featured Bob Dylan, Pete Seeger, Arlo Guthrie and Ochs;
