A few days ago on TVunam, Argentine political scientist Flavia Freindenberg used a conceptual category to explain electoral political processes in Latin America. Elections in Chile, Costa Rica, Venezuela, Colombia, Brazil and Mexico are shaping scenarios where economic, political and social circumstances have activated the mechanisms of preservation and social self-defense. This reaction-cultural conservatism-obeys to the simplest characteristics of protection that human groups establish. The groups of these countries are considering serious risks derived from an irresponsible economic globalization. There are social indicators to show the deep damage that the neoliberal model establishes in education, health, gender, human rights and democracy.
The danger of the situation has reached such an extreme that the mechanisms of human protection have been activated, as happens when there is a cataclysm or tragedy. Hence, it is understood that the winning political options are outlined in a repertoire of anti-establishment candidates and representatives of a populist nationalism.
It is true that this context also constitutes the starting point for authoritarian regimes. Several dictators have gained power through democratic elections. However, social structures in Latin America are in a severe process of decomposition and society demands an urgent change. The PRIANRD has made the country a Failed State and, little by little, this reality has become conscious in a large part of the population. The corruption and cynicism of the contemporary political class has overcome the worst epochs in history.
There is no institution that works in present Mexico, it is enough to observe the profile of the national flag on its last anniversary. And the ruling class does not get anything positive. Deception, corruption as well as permanent factionalism generate an aberrant partycracy. Because of the same situation, the Army, the Catholic Church and the universities travel.
Characters representing Protestant Christianity, nationalists, outsiders, non-political trajectories, etc., have begun to generate sympathy and participation of citizens. It is an opportunity and a remarkable risk; but, perhaps, it is a need according to the time that is lived.
The PRIANRD is a danger for Mexico, they are exterminating what is left of the country. Hence, people opt for regime change and rejection of a continuity full of corruption, violence and parasitism.
Anti-systemic, nationalist, conservative and populist coalitions are marking the dynamics of political change in Latin America. Mexico represented the last link of a colonial neoliberalism that became impotent even to maintain order. The political forces are migrating to Morena's coalition not only because of a conservation superlative, the social order has been lost and nobody knows how to restore it. Morena is the name of the Bardo Monster that can redeem or annihilate Mexico.
Spain and Poland needed prudent leaders to promote amnesties, consensus and pacts. The change without rupture that Manuel Camacho Solis maintained from always and that, now, retakes an importance without comparison. The Catholic neoliberal right, like Polish communism and traditionalist Francoism, wafts everywhere. They are not right in anything. They are an example of the worst. By health they must leave and, at the same time, seek regeneration. With everything and the anthropological characteristics of Mexican culture, the political class and its powers have become alien, different, dangerous.
Is Andrés Manuel López Obrador a Revolutionary Conservator? At first it seems that way. It depends on the society that is not transformed into a Francisco I. Madero or Plutarco Elías Calles. It is up to Mexicans to value the republic, secularism, education and institutions that have inherited the blood of virtuous Mexicans. Globalization, Catholicism, the West and neoliberal order, present a historical crisis, each society is leading to safeguard their lives. Cultural conservatism is the ghost that travels the world, an opportunity and a tremendous risk
