CIENCIA POLÍTICA

Why do the left fail? Is the Mexican left a total failure? In this issue of the weekly "La Quincena", various analysts offer their position regarding the prospects represented by the federal government of MORENA, the Fourth Transformation and Andrés Manuel López Obrador. The Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) was a confederation of caciques and political factions where the left and revolutionary nationalism played a leading role. The ruptures and the turncoat of the Official Party allowed the left and right to have serious opportunities to govern beyond the municipalities and to legislate beyond the multi-member representation. Now is the time for the left, what future awaits you? The reduction of uncertainty is achieved with a fair reading of those who participate in this work. 3 Index 4 Why does the left fail?

Transfuguism and Plot. The characteristics of the transition via elections August 17, 2020 Diego Martin Velázquez Caballero https://www.semanarioelreto.com/single-post/2020/08/17/Transfuguismo-y-Contubernio-Las-caracter%C3%ADsticas-de-la-transici%C3%B3n-v%C3%ADa-elecciones Why does Mexico continue under the electoral route scheme to build its democracy? Although political scientists called the model of the Mexican transition “Via Competitive Elections”, the data on corruption, fraud, vote buying and corporatism leave much to be desired about the importance of the Mexican electoral system. Rather, the electoral system becomes the judicial political arena where political factions resolve their differences. The Mexican transition should be called: Political transition via judicialized elections. And if it is remembered that the Mexican political system and the foundations of the Nation State were built by lawyers, perhaps this characterization is understood. Lately, the Mexic...

Donald Trump: Mario Bergoglio's Ronald Reagan? August 11, 2020  Diego Martin Velázquez Caballero  https://www.semanarioelreto.com/single-post/2020/08/11/Donald-Trump-%C2%BFEl-Ronald-Reagan-de-Mario-Bergoglio?fbclid=IwAR3LTFEZPhmBEXKKl22FViUijG2iP3XNei0luqGHQw9tFSgH-ZMCa8WYkD4 In the last two thousand years the role of Christianity was central to the configuration of Europe, however, it was also constituted as an arrogant and excessive empire that built a counterproductive narrative to the doctrine it claims to represent. The historical Christ was not Christian, European, did not speak Latin and was not white. Neither did he claim political-religious unity nor was he interested in geopolitics. The Catholic Church contributed to the creation of the West and Europe, doing the opposite according to the gospels. However, the Catholic Church is one of the bastions of what has come to be called Christianity and which, for some, is the essence of the West.  Although the Catholic ...

The War for the End of the World 2/8/2020 By Diego Martín Velázquez Caballero https://www.semanarioelreto.com/single-post/2020/08/03/La-Guerra-por-el-Fin-del-Mundo https://infoquorum.com/notas/2020/08/03/Opini%C3%B3n/La_Guerra_por_el_Fin_del_Mundo We are facing a decline of the greatest power in recent centuries. North America became a nation that is the product of modernity but has not been able to confront alternative modernities. The hallmark of the United States was the westernizing vanguard. However, before and after the cold war, what has been reflected is that there are different types of currencies and that it has been more than exhausting to pretend that they are all like Amerikkka wants. The United States pursued universalizing modernity and, even though this seemed to be achieved in a short time, the proximity of globalization has ended up highlighting the differences and particularities. We are not only different, each one has taken what he wants from modernity and has disg...
