The Power of Chile's Student Resistance Movement 

source? evidence?

Peter no it's not. Do you even live in Chile? cuz I do and that's not how it is.

Chile is like the embodiment of capitalism in america (fuck yeah!) how the fuck are rich people going tho bad schools, i am personaly above average imo and i haven't any problem with education here but either way it isn't as bad as they portrait it in the video

Botchamania JEEZUS personal responsibility

AlphaQ Mr.Suspicious haha nice one 👍🏼

AlphaQ Mr.Suspicious they are not americans...

+iliriacum666 ohh yes they are think about it their country Chilè are part of the Americas.

Michael Bishop...no the point was that they are not like u who is obsessed abut gym and having more sex and money as possible. Those student r really concern about their future and want a better society...that's the differce about Student in Europe and South America and you US students (or american society generally) who are extremely egocentric...just me me me me...also extremely feministic...she she she she she...it's all about her. Go to gym brother...that's your boring life...at least you will have a good body so you can beat somehow racism for your skin which is so extreme there. Feel sorry for that country...I lived there for 9 years...and it suck!

O what did we just throw a molotov cocktail? nahhh it was probably 2

The comments on this video are incredibly disheartening. How did you get this audience, seeker? :(

QED like in Venezuela?

No it isn't insanity. In a pure capitalist society if you want to eat you have to give something back, whether it be goods or services. The welfare state is basically "I'm here give me free shit". It's selfish and ultimately keeps people poor. Opportunities are better than handouts.

You act as if this is victimless but it isn't. In the UK at least you lose 20-45% of your income to taxes! What that is is theft. And where does the money go? Well ultimately to people who choose to work part time or not at all. People on benefits even complain that there is no incentive to work. It's about time people stopped leeching off the middle class, because they're the ones who get hit the hardest by taxes. You know the people who spent years getting a degree and then work 50 hour weeks..

Artorius, you know all the countries stated by Dragos are the ones with less poverty and income inequality? also best education and health systems? It's nothing like you think, people dont stay poor over their, and even if they are considered poor their poornes is a way better state, dencensy than a capitalist society. Specially if you compare with Chile a country with the greatest income inequality in the world.

Charity is for the sick, elderly and disabled. It is not for able bodied young people who just don't want to find work. Also charity is meant to be voluntary! So why does wealth need to be distributed? If you're in a room with 5 friends and you're the wealthiest in the room would you take out your wallet and distribute your money? What if the others voted to take your money by force? It's democracy but its still theft. You should get out of society what you put in. If you flip burgers for a living you don't deserve a high wage. You certainly don't deserve as much as the person who owns the restaurant. They've put in the effort of building up that business and without them many jobs wouldn't even exist. They deserve the fruits of their labour. It is morally wrong to use the state to force such people to pay a certain wage and give over half their income to tax.

Yes! God dammit, why all of their channels are dead now? :X

they label it every which way but in the end it just means white people of chile(10 to 12%) get rich off real Chilenos sweat and work like always.

"...when they spiraled out of control" Did you even listen to the rest of the sentence????

AREss Yeah, the woman at the beginning even said that because they were protesting for years and some finally decided to become violent. I don't have a strong view about the violence but yeah.

AREss I can tell you that that doesn't happen till the very end of the protest. All protest are official by the government and have a path set, only at the end of that path is when that happens because by then only the rioters are left instead of the actual protesters. You'll always find violent people in every protest but those are separate people that do not represent the movement.

AREss they throw molotovs at the police

but Pinochet implemented it, they didn't say he invented the concept

john pardon It's more complicated than that. Public education and private education are completely different. Public education is a mess, because it is not control by state, instead of "districts" (municipalidades), that means the district controls where the money goes. The problem is if your district is poor, you won't have a good education. There is a mix between bad administration and unequal opportunities just because your district doesn't have enough money. That means that if you can't pay for a private school, you will have a poor education. There are lots of points related of course: teachers are payed bad, and also is see as a "bad career" in the eyes of chilean society. People of private schools and good public schools (called "Colegios de Excelencia") go to university. And girls and boys from poor public schools who go to university, generally fail, no because they don't study, but because their education has lost of holes. Any issue you can ask me if it doesn't get right c: Again, here in chile we don't have public education because it is controlled by districts, no the state.

john pardon the students don't get money unless they work, which most do to afford the college. What makes the difference is who gets to go to uni based in their highschool education and that's where the low and high income differences come into play. So the segregation gets worse with time because of that. Besides people with money usually prefer higher paying universities where most of the students have the same family income as them creating more bubbles and segregation amongst students by staying all around people of their same class.

i think too and i live in chile :/ but it isn't as bad as portraited in the video

;)

Michael n. because they cant choose whatever they want, what they can choose is based on their income, so only wealthy people can go to good universities.

Children of poor families can't afford private education, which makes them go to public schools which are of a really bad quality. They get bad scores, can barely afford university and many drop out. Now these poor kids probably won't be able to get a good career and job, eventually having kids who can't afford private education. And the cycle goes on.

Nothing wrongbwith the system. These people want all free. To get free you must get good grades. These rats have free. They just dont like the subject they qualify for. If yout test score high your option is doctor if you test low your option is argricultute. All score fit into a subject. If u score bad but want to go for nursing school you can but you have to pay. If you score in the range of nursing you get free nursing college. These people are socalist communist who want all free.

@@billmuno7191 The right winged military and cops get everything for free and cost the state billions of dollars each year. The leftists want better rewards for their WORK, while the rightwinged nuts want everything for free at the cost of taxing the poor.
