Mass protests in Chile

There has been a wave of protests all over the world from Egypt to England, Greece to now Chile. The South American country has added its name to global protests, but this time students are demanding free education. Hundreds of thousands have hit the streets to not only insist on free education but also to protest the wealth distribution from a recent copper price boom.

www.euronews.net Student demonstrators in Chile took direct action in the Senate headquarters on Thursday, by forcing their way into the building in Santiago. They interrupted aa committee meeting and broadcast their demonstration live over the internet by webcam, calling for more people to come and join them. The protests for educational reform in Chile turned violent later on that night, as students clashed with police on the streets of the capital. Security was increased and water cannon used on the protesters. Authorities say 10 arrests were made.

  7. @efectomariposa93 So instead of putting a counter argument to my point, you just attacked me directly about something totally irreverent. I think this proves that you are the conditioned one.

  10. People worldwide are struggling against the increasing commercialisation of education and for free emancipatory education.
    De-democratisation, privatisation, tuition fees, debts, cuts – all symptoms of the currently dominating economic system, which unleashes its forces globally!
    It’s about time to connect and fight back globally as well.

    Search for the „Global Weeks of Action for Education“ coordinated for November 2011 on the International Student Movement platform.

    ★ 1 world – 1 struggle ★

  11. The education bubble is about to pop globally & the ideology of empty promise will reveal itself to hard-learning young people by the devastating realization, that no matter how good your grades might be, it doesn’t matter if your country’s economy is usurped by international financial terrorists.

  18. @iTrollhardi Wrong. Nationalize just transfers wealth to the government, not the people. You can see its wonderful effect in North Korea, the USSR, and mainland China before China discovered Communism doesn’t work. Capitalism is the system where people own the wealth. You want wealth? Work hard and save it.

  19. GO CHILE!!!

  27. @PaulRon2008
    Ron Paul says: „free“ education ?

  28. 1. End the FED – take back our money from the private Corporation and create our own Treasury Notes, providing 0% interest loans to the Cities, States, Small Businesses, and Students to get our Economy back on it’s feet.
    2. End the era of PAC influence in Washington, eliminating them entirely.
    3. De- Personhood Corporations. They are not people and should not be allowed these privileges .

  29. 4. Eliminate Fractional Reserve Banking – If a bank does not have the money they will not be allowed to loan it.
    5. Re-install Glass- Steagall – separating the function of Savings Banks from Investment Banking.
    6. Major Wall Street investment reform that outlaws Derivitives, Short Selling, Hedge Fund, and Algorithmic Trading.
    7. Redefine Federal limits back to the Constitution, giving most of it’s present powers back to the States, back to pre- Feb. 17, 1871.
