Allendism (Spanish: Allendismo) is an ideological current that bases its positions and lines on what was the government of Salvador Allende,[1] former president of Chile who, together with the Popular Unity (Unidad Popular, UP), ruled the country until the coup d'état of 1973, headed by Augusto Pinochet.[2] Within the political spectrum it is located between the left-wing and the center left,[2][3] basing its principles on democratic socialism, institutionalism and reformism.[3][4][5] The followers of this current are called allendistas.[6]
