Very interesting edition of “in our time” especially about Chile's interest in #cybernetics https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002vmk4

Mentions Project #Cybersyn which I’d never heard of. This was an attempt in early 1970s Chile to build a real-time economic coordination system using telex machines, systems theory, and cybernetics long before the internet era.

The program also helps explain cybernetics counter culture popularity.

My favourite part of the #cablesofresistance conference today was Cecilia Rikap ending her talk with a "thank you"-slide casually depicting a #cybersyn control center chair. This is the kind of tech-socialist deep lore I am here for.

@malteengeler There is also a very captivating podcast on topic of Cybersyn worth listening to: The Santiago Boys:
https://www.the-santiago-boys.com/

"A wild tale of how Allende's engineers and a British management consultant dared challenge corporations and spy agencies - and almost won. Written and presented by Evgeny Morozov."

The Santiago Boys

This is a podcast about a continent that dared to dream big - and challenge the power of Big Tech before Big Tech was a thing.

Salvador #Allende a tenté des expériences pour améliorer le quotidien du peuple. Parmi celles-ci, #Cybersyn, cette #utopie #cybernétique qui montre que la technologie, quand elle est développée pour les besoins des gens, peut être un outil utile à la construction du #socialisme.

Cybersyn, la technologie au service du socialisme chilien

Durant sa très courte existence, le gouvernement du président progressiste Salvador Allende a tenté des expériences pour améliorer le quotidien du peuple. Parmi celles-ci, Cybersyn, cette utopie cybernétique qui montre que la technologie, quand elle est développée pour les besoins des gens, peut être un outil utile à la construction du socialisme. Derrière ce projet, on retrouve de jeunes ingénieurs idéalistes : les « Santiago Boys »...

Besides everything else happening on #september11 #today is the #anniversary of the 1973 #coup in #Chile

#Pinochet ended the presidency of #Allende, a #liberal #socialist, and of civilian rule. And #Project #Cybersyn

Pinochet, favoured by the #USA , began a brutal #dictatorship

Heute ist der 11. September. Neben allem anderen ist es der #Jahrestag des Pinochet #Putsch in Chile

Der gewählte Präsident Allende, ein liberaler Sozialist, starb und mit ihm Chiles Demokratie

Die USA feierten.

🇨🇱 Los 11 de setiembre hay que acordarse siempre de Chile y de Allende. Y de cómo los EE.UU. y sus aliados locales pusieron fin sangriento a la posibilidad de un socialismo democrático, e incluso a la posibilidad de planificar la economía con ayuda de las tecnologías de la información. #CyberSyn #AllendeVive #11septiembre #socialismo #cibersocialismo #economiaplanificada #Chile #dictadura
