The Rights of Donald Trump
By Diego Martín Velázquez Caballero
Although left and right schemas are obsolete for the current development of political theory, their old ways still can help those looking for a compass in these times of catastrophic reality. It is necessary to observe the specter of ideologies to understand phenomena such as Donald Trump, who suddenly appear disconcerting in the future of Mexico with everything and the clarity of the messages that he has sent.
What is Trump? Various characters of the news and political media have insisted, until the satiety, to identify it with the populist root of Andres Manuel López Obrador; However, populism in Latin America is close to left-wing Justicialism. Trump can be linked to a type of populism, but the proper name is Fascism and is Right. The United States of America has always been a plutocracy; But, this time, the monster lost the friendly side.
What type of Right represents Donald Trump? It is still early to distinguish it. The political coalition that brought it to power integrates an amalgam of rights that will try to be cohesive according to time and circumstances. For theorists like Roger Eatwell and Noel O'Sullivan (1989) there are multiple rights. They maintain a core of common values; but also nuances that make significant differences. Rights are classified - at least - in the categories of reactionary, moderate, radical, ultra and new. Nor to say of the plurality of rights that offers us the Francoist sociology of Alonso de Miguel (1975). Donald Trump includes different rights to varying degrees. Perhaps, this is due to the slowness and expectation in the true impacts of their decisions.
One element should be highlighted in the new governing group of the United States: the significant influence of Israel and the Jewish community in Donald Trump. Will this situation involve a decrease in xenophobia and discrimination that the WASP are radiating in a bizarre way? The global evolution of Islamic fundamentalism requires a new geopolitical design, which explains the Russian American alliances, which the rights do not completely understand. The scenario provoked by the neoliberal globalization runaway can not end in the regime of the black sun. In contexts of survival, the rapprochement between right-wing groups and members of the Jewish community is not strange. For the most part, however, this approach becomes unfortunate. It has happened in the Italy of Mussolinni, Argentina in the military dictatorship and contemporary France.
Immigration and its consequences are an effect of globalization and the development of savage capitalism. Globalization, runaway capitalism, is one of the greatest challenges in the social sciences. This phenomenon shows that even the technocrats of the hegemonic countries do not know what to do. Islamic fundamentalism is an externality that was misunderstood by Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. The Democratic Party is responsible for the development that has taken Islamic terrorism and the empowerment of the central states that are part of this civilization. The same can not be said of Mexican emigration. President Barack Obama is the American who expelled more Mexicans in all bilateral history. The latest measures against Cuban immigrants are also inexplicable. Without saying or pretending, Obama wanted to be more WASP than Trump.
While it is true that Mexico became the WASP's favorite scapegoat, one of the elements to be highlighted in the opening speech of the new US president is the frontal confrontation with Islam. The historical clock was returned to the nineties, not to the forties of the twentieth century.
Donald Trump can re-edit the Bush administration more than FD Roosvelt. In the first case, Donald Trump is more like Vicente Fox Quezada. It even has a similar liking for ambiguity in decisions. The hopes and longings that kept the right reactionary and ultra, were fulfilled half. They gave in front of the PRI and, as a result, lost the PAN candidacy to the presidency of the republic in front of the moderate and neoliberal right where the PRI also had good seats. Vicente Fox knows, in a broad sense, the concept of impotence as far as the art of governing is concerned. Perhaps, based on that experience, it is possible to predict what will happen in the government of Donald Trump. In the early hours, the trumpista freight train is no longer so scary to the Mexican political class. The trumpista railway includes wagons representing different rights. It makes a terrifying sound and seems to crush us; however, major threats are being suspended.
When Jose Lopez Portillo met Jimmy Carter thought things would be simple, considered advantages given the human condition of the character. It was not like that, things were just the opposite. If the political elite of the country thinks like Jose Lopez Portillo, the situation of Mexico will be complicated. The ties of Luis Videgaray are generating these expectations in the Mexican government that thinks in tempering the situation. The problem is not Donald Trump, the fault corresponds to the corruption, incoherence, irresponsibility and delinquency of our politicians and entrepreneurs. Mexico has to do the things that are its obligation. The Mexican government and the political business class in our country, have to give a rudder to the course of their behavior. If the Mexican political class does not understand, it does not inspire, it does not strengthen the welfare state everywhere, then populist people, right and left, will continue to appear. Or is controlled wild capitalism or populists of all ideologies will become an epidemic.
