Socialist hero and champion of the poor who was President of Chile from 1970-73. He was the first democratically elected Marxist in human history; a friend of Fidel Castro and admirer of revolutionary Che Guevara, yet he was totally dedicated to achieving socialism through peaceful, legislative means. Eventually his nationalization policies pissed off American multinational corporations and he was killed in a coup d'etat engineered by the CIA, replaced with a blood-soaked pro-US dictator named Augusto Pinochet, whose reign of terror lasted 17 years.
Salvador Allende was a man of the people, and thus an enemy of American corporate fascism.
"Long live Chile! Long live the people! Long live the workers! These are my last words, and I am certain that my sacrifice will not be in vain, I am certain that, at the very least, it will be a moral lesson that will punish felony, cowardice, and treason." - Salvador Allende, September 11, 1973.

Get the Salvador Allende mug.Someone who is really smart, but never believes in herself. She's gorgeous, though she never admits it, for she doesn't believe it. She's fun to be around, and can make everyone smile. If you ever meet an alleyna, hold her close and love her.

Get the Alleyna mug.Aileen is a beautiful smart girl who is shy at first but once she gets comfortable around you you’ll truly see how strange and crazy she is. Aileen’s are real risk takers and will probably do anything if you told her to. Warning: almost all Aileen’s are Irish so they are self conscious and once you talk bad about her she will SLAM you. The word Aileen means “light” and is commonly mispronounced as: alien, I-lien, a-leen, Allen (try and get the name right it really pisses them off when people mispronounce her name wrong)

Get the Ayleen mug.A person who typically jokes around and makes fun of others, but does so without the intent to cause harm. Alweens may also be strangely charming, and even wear a top hat.
Girl One: Geez, darn Alween made fun of me again!
Girl Two: He doesn't really mean it, you know.
Girl Two: (sighs) It's just part of his charm! That Alween is sooo charismatic!
