serious question, we always say 'x elected official' ought to purge and appoint loyalists, and yeah as general advice its cogent but irl?
who are you putting in charge of militaries and police that can be relied on and can command their subordinates' loyalty? unless there's a military-led coup ot seems difficult to find personnel that could actually do this.
tldr i don't think Allende and other electorally empoweref leftists have a very good opportunity to protect against reaction.
the only counterexample i know about was the Spanish Republic and the socialists infiltrated the police forces for years prior to the civil war. and they lost anyway.
