Wrong, he died from Cancer. Only in the past few years this conspiracy theory surfaced. It is well known he was very ill way before the military coup. In fact, the left wanted him to be the candidate instead of Salvador Allende, but he didn't go for it, because he was involved in medical treatments. This is just the left trying to rewrite history, and please don’t cite journalists as sources. It is said that journali…

You can say the same about Jobs, but people still go on and on about him on this site.

Jobs was a shitty parent between the ages of about 23–30 (between a few years before that and the middle of that period he had gone from being a broke unemployed college drop-out traveling around India and then living in a commune to a workaholic world-famous celebrity and gajillionaire), after which he apologetically reconciled with his former girlfriend and their child. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Jobs#Fami…

He also screwed over his friend Steve Wozniak for money before Apple was formed. He has a history of being a terrible person. No reason to pretend this was the only thing.

He spoke on behalf of team of doctors he represents.

Just concede the point. It is a known fact that the regime killed people for much less and Neruda had already provoked them enough by then.
