        <title>Cybersocialism: Project Cybersyn &amp; The CIA Coup in Chile - PlasticPills</title>

        <description>Any description here must be prefaced by gratitude to the couple hundred people that made this project possible. I hope it lives up to the vision I presented to you all, those months ago. If you want to see content like this show up online, it needs your support. I have gained some experience these past 4 months, particularly that big projects are a bad idea for small channels. Unfortunately I am yet beholden to a shadowy algorithmic god who does not reward production value or effort, only the frequency of uploads. You can help by either buying a ticket to the bonus content, or by sharing it around if that isn't viable, and maybe then I can do more like this in the future. There are already a bunch of videos of the creation process on Patreon. We have some follow-up content on the Plasticpills podcast. Here is the first episode on a series about Cybernetics and Systems Theory, and here is a link to the companion episode for this documentary. The public podcast can be found wherever you get podcasts. All exclusive episodes are up on Patreon.

(Maybe you can find it at your local indie bookstore? Ha. Maybe Barnes &amp; Noble is a less exploitative employer? Ha. Here's the Amazon link but if you're moral you'll wait till the revolution to order it): https://amzn.to/3fvES2l If you are led to believe this is all propagating conspiracy theory, here is official, mostly unredacted US Senate Committee Report from the mid 1970s: https://www.archives.gov/files/declassification/iscap/pdf/2010-009-doc17.pdf Stafford Beer's "Brain of the Firm" explains in detail the application of viable systems theory to organizations, and in it, Beer offers his reflections on Project Cybersyn post-hoc: https://amzn.to/3yY5pwG Other sources cited include: "The Pinochet File" by Peter Kornbluh (https://amzn.to/2WSB0C1) "Chile 1973: The Other 9/11" by David Francois (https://amzn.to/3ftgiPC) "Successful Neoliberalism?" by Ashley Davis-Hamel, paywalled by an academic conglomerate here: https://www.jstor.org/stable/41887539 Timestamps 0:00 Intro 7:51 Cybernetics 12:04 The Designers of Cybersyn 20:11 Project Cybersyn 28:08 The Empire Strikes Back 46:57 The October Strike 50:22 Democracy Dies in Chile</description>
