It is undoubtedly a welcome that Chile has come out en masse to send a clear message to the Catholic, Creole and military oligarchy, about their unbearable presence and arbitrariness. Of course, these messages are not always understood. Precisely, in this South American country, an elite was characterized that, in the name of God, decided to overthrow the first democratically elected socialist ruler.
To the memory comes, with a hint of bitterness and disagreement, an academic participation abruptly intervened by a Chilean socialist bookseller who, in the face of the debate raised by the Spanish political scientist Juan Linz regarding the presidential-parliamentary duo and its relationship with democracy, pointed out that in 1973 Chile needed weapons and civility. From a distance, it is an unbearable truth.
Arturo Fontaine and an intellectual gang that accompanies him from one of the main Catholic political science centers, proposed, a few years ago, that Chile should retake the 1925 constitution that was suspended at the time of the coup. That size is the measure that the historical speed of Catholic nationalisms propose for the making of political changes. How good is the Chilean 1925! Latin America is still struggling in the labyrinth of the Middle Ages.
However, there is another Chile that aspires to autonomy, liberalism, progress and equality. The country is lavish in wine and literature, for this reason, Roberto Bolaños appears opposite Fontaine. If literature is the record of democratic change, it will be necessary to rush the gringo sociologists so that in the next text on modern religious anthropology, they include the Chileans who advance between the moon and Barcelona. Could it be that free Chileans can only be out of this world? For Catholic nationalists, yes.
Chile was the center of convergence between the United States and the Holy See. Augusto Pinochet proposed the country as the center of Conservative Modernity where neoliberalism and Catholic anti-communism shaped the social fabric. It was the model of the liberal Catholic dictatorship where humble people were subdued, controlled, murdered and exploited, by an oligarchy with bombastic fascist morals. The Chilean democratic transition has hidden many crimes and abuses of the right so that the left came to govern, it followed the Spanish model of forgetfulness, forgiveness and tolerance to the ever-current abuse of the powerful. That is why so much is expected of Chile, for changes to proceed in a different way. The future is beyond banishing Pinochet and John Paul II from history, it implies building a free nation.
It is not enough to support a constitution for the 21st century more than for 1925. The message of the old Chilean socialist bookseller is fundamental. The people must value and pay the cost of their freedom. If the Chilean people do not supervise and demand a constitution tailored to their historical circumstances, Chile will accumulate yet another experience in all the silly republics of Latin American letters. A constitution is a chimera against imperialism. Neither the United States nor the Holy See will stop intervening and protecting their interests alongside businessmen and aristocratic landowners.
Chile and Bolivia have demonstrated convincingly to demand their rights, they have shown the cynicism and immorality of geopolitical imperialism. However, the western theological right encourages the manifestation of liberal and nationalist collectives to destroy them in the possible post-pandemic future. That the people and the history of Chile make no mistake
