In this research paper we investigate the political thought of Orlando Millas. Millas raises a review of the period of Unidad Popular in Chile (1970-1973) proposing that the government of Salvador Allende broadened the foundations of democracy, fixed a non-violent route of exercise of power and developed a unique socialist program in the world. Thus, the memoirs constitute a political text through which the memorialist reconstructs the past world, updating and plotting new horizons to understand the events.

Keywords : Memoirs; democracy; revolution; Popular Union; Salvador Allende; Orlando Millas.
