Klappentext

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Poder popular (English popular or people power) is a form of workers or direct democracy. In Chilean history poder popular has referred to a form of political power that is derived from the independent activity of working class people, which in its formulation and constitution is highly collective, flexible, representative and direct. This is fundamentally different from bourgeois parliamentary democratic power, which is achieved via a democratic electoral process but once established is imposed upon a predominantly static and apolitical electorate via highly inflexible bureaucratic social institutions. Throughout the 20th Century many forms of organs of poder popular were established in Chile but the most developed and important ones where formed during the Popular Unity government headed by Salvador Allende (1970-1973).
