How best to undertake that challenge?  The use of ultra-active rhetoric.  Allende himself stated that "the revolution is not made with words, comrades, but with actions" -- meaning not that his words were meaningless but that his speeches served as direct links to his democracy-enhancing policies, either through creating esteem and solidarity in Chile’s people or through directly stating, to the relevant audience, his plans for new policies, all while acknowledging the difficulties of reality.  For the first Marxist president ever elected using democratic means, honesty was indeed the best policy to create policy.
