United States: The World PRI

United States: The World PRI? Diego Martín Velázquez Caballero
The news regarding the North American interventionism in Mexico to alter the results of the next elections generates indignation, although it is understandable and common in the historical context of our neighborhood. Serious, but nothing new. What is interesting is not only the financing of the Mexican right but also of most of the political tendencies that serve geopolitical interests. US imperialism is capable of perverting the most noble and just causes to achieve its ambitions. A country that makes wars for peanuts and walnuts is capable of anything and much more. AMLO's remarks regarding USAID and IMCO are reminiscent of the anecdotes of the militants during the Cold War era. They all went to ask the Government for money, then they had to confront themselves or DFS would tighten the nuts on all sides and, finally, they all received resources to strengthen, as far as possible, their political and governmental institutes. The United States sponsors the right, but also many left. In a world where the geopolitical dispute was causing paroxysm in American society, it also encouraged Yankee imperialism to spread everywhere. The PRI's cement ran out when it could no longer have economic control to distribute jobs through co-optation and corporatism. This is the case with the United States. Morris Berman, Noam Chomsky and Samuel Huntington have a series of coincidences regarding the American decadence. The American taxpayer no longer supports the disloyalty of the Trust and, therefore, the Trumpist clique is preparing to fracture the American Union if the irrational spending continues. The post-neoliberal extractivist globalization that the Democratic Party has ended up championing no longer fits in the world of the future. The PRI was a caciquil corporatist confederation and the US was formed as a Gangster Trust. Both became a culture rather than an institution: the one who wins gets everything. And while such anarchist individualism has brought the free market everywhere; It does not generate community or society, it is the pure state of nature. Pedro Páramo and Leviathán dividing everyone to always win. And threatening to fold his arms to cause the violent night, the dust of men. When public opinion asks why does the PRI never die? It is enough just to turn to see the indifference of the political parties. The same probably applies to nations that ask Why isn't America falling apart? Some nations that have managed to establish themselves in a medium way without claiming the hegemony of the United States, had to develop important tasks to conform as States and Societies. It is the difference of the countries that have managed to block the incessant Yankee imperialism and safeguard their sovereignty. The PRI never managed to consolidate itself as a State Party, and the satellite parties that were created from it still remain marginal and dependent. The same is true of states colonized by North America. The current pandemic is a severe test for the identity values ​​of civilizations. The United States, like the PRI in 2000, faces the challenge of returning to the origin, reinventing itself; On pain of continuing in an empty, irrational pragmatism that ends in nihilism. America -completely- faces orphans if there is no willingness to pick up the story where the course went wrong. The United States is opposed to the task of becoming a multicultural state and society, provisions that were inhibited since the end of World War II. Imperialist interventionism only generates emigration, drug trafficking, poverty and anomie that, in any case, North America ends up correcting. How long will American liberal individualism endure this rate of exploitation? Zombies and aliens swarm all over the American geography and will no longer endure neglect and neglect. Just as they polarize other societies to reach civil war, the nine North America are on the brink of a radical internal conflict. The internal sociodemographic problems of the United States are more serious than those faced by China, Russia or India. In Mexico, PRI members of all political parties govern and the transition ended in a Failed State. How will the world end if gringos of all races and nationalities rule? The Davos Culture has radically changed its goals for 2030, the Democratic Party is tangential with respect to them. Joe Biden tries to imitate Constantine and rescue the Empire by handing it over to the Catholic Church, it won't work. Samuel Huntington's last book established the mechanisms of American regeneration, it is about forming a new society from a break with the corporatism of the trust, not returning to the corporatism of the Middle Ages. A long painful night is warned if the United States maintains the subsidy to terrorists of all ideologies, including anti-American ones, and does not allow geography to evolve on its own. Eurasia, Islam, Brahmanism and Buddhism; they will win the battle if they keep fighting to deny their existence.

The president and the chiefs

 The president and the chiefs

Diego Martin Velázquez Caballero




Every day in Mexico the gray zone gains influence, that is, the informal mechanisms that are imposed on the institutions to establish a hybrid of social control. The gray zone (Wil Pansters) is the intermediary offered by certain political actors and operators to solve problems where they are protagonists -cause and effect-; Although they solve little, they manage to stop the demands or, at least, darken the environment to confuse everything. This is how governance has been during the neoliberal era and the democratization that began in the nineties of the last century.

The Mexican State has made use of this gray area to address the problems of drug trafficking, social movements and neo-extractivism, the problem is that the State loses more and more. The federal government has capitulated many spaces and is unable, even, to manage its own engineering.

This situation is representative, says for example Moisés Naim, of the change with respect to the paradigm of power. However, the situation represents the actors of all times: locals versus foreigners, nationalists versus globalists. Depending on the country, the correlation between the elements changes, although in recent times it seems that nations are in permanent defeat.

In the Mexican case, the caciques are representatives of that strange power that is alien to the institutionality. Attached to the motherland, or distant homelands, these characters always question the State and manipulate it, they are advantageous in their particular or local interests and do not contribute to the well-being of the country. They lie when they say that they control the gray area, but their presence in it is real.

Upon the triumph of Vicente Fox, Lorenzo Meyer developed a reflection on the measurement of strength between the Executive and the factual powers of the country. The political scientist warned of the need for control over these actors and the ways in which they manipulated the public administration and the states. Meyer was right, Fox could not control the powers that be and opted for a discreet mutation with them. The country has paid the cost.

In each society, those with the greatest local membership and those from the neighborhood are always going to confront each other. The conflict between globalists and nationalists now takes preponderance in the configuration of the world order.

The porfiriato and priato constituted models of caciquil collaborative factionalism where agreements were respected and common projects were formulated. When cohesion and cooperation waned, the national chief had to exercise intelligent violence to reestablish control. Only in this way was governance established every six years and it became necessary to renew it.

As the transition progressed, the governors and other caciques began to break order. Roberto Madrazo Pintado was perhaps the first governor who confronted the central power and emerged victorious. Henceforth, governance became a disaster and not even with the army collaborative factionalism has been reestablished. Upon the arrival of Ali Baba and his 32 thieves (Andrew Paxman), there was fraud, but no governance.

The transition returned to Mexico at the beginning of the 20th century, it was already happening and, therefore, Carlos Salinas de Gortari ruled like Generals Cárdenas y Calles, and he could not subdue them, he almost ended up ruling as if he had been Carranza.

The iron control of the regional powers is fundamental for the presidential project. Now the governors, mayors and groups allied to them, promote ungovernability and contempt. There can be no better scenario for imperialism that takes advantage of any internal division.

The white, brown, university, religious, rural, urban chiefs, workers, peasants, students, feminists, street workers, etc .; they are being damaged by the attack on corruption. They react because they have never respected the State, they have agreed with it to remain advantageous operators and intermediaries.

The president still has a large base of support, but he has to lead the strikes like Cárdenas did. AMLO, in the course of his project, has forgotten to generate governance and his allies act as enemies not only because of the inconsistency with the 4T but because of the same particular interests that are being formed. The idea that the president is insufficient to generate governance is well known; the party has always been necessary as an extension, binomial and appendix. Lopez Obradorism turns into a church without faithful, before the end of the six-year term! Believers exist because the miracles are many, especially in the pandemic, but without a party the Messiah will end up crucified.

If Mexico Falls, the United States Falls

 If Mexico falls, the United States falls

Diego Martin Velázquez Caballero



There is an abundant literature that shows the historical interventionism of North America to bend governments and communities to its interests. Latin America is a constant example of military, economic, political and social occupation. The pandemic has come to demonstrate total American selfishness and pride.

The incessant media attack, internal and external, on the government of the Mexican Republic is part of the destabilizing American tradition. The United States of America embassy plays the role of being an uncomfortable and dangerous guest. He always betrays the trust of the country where he resides.

The relationship between the Democratic Party and Mexico has been more than unfortunate in recent years. Just remember the results with Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and Obama, there is a negative prognosis with Pretty Fly Biden. The Democrats hurt the neighborhood between the United States and Mexico a lot, they promote fruitless and superfluous discrepancies. They call themselves progressives, but they agree with the most caciquile, delinquent and retrograde groups of Mexican politics.

The comparison between Luis Echeverría Álvarez and AMLO is fallacious. Echeverrismo was an authoritarian nationalist capitalism that wanted to gain independence through the international dynamism of the non-aligned. Echeverría, a former LITEMPO collaborator of the CIA, decided to exercise a pragmatic despotism so that the Mexican State could recover from the sporting events to which it was subjected. AMLO is a pigeonholed ruler, trying to restore the State and ensuring that the public administration recovers the minimum of governability. Democratic interventionism wants to take over a country that is on the verge of collapse. Biden is getting more wrong than Trump, he has no agenda for the post-covid world nor is he in charge of the liberal eugenics set in motion. The Welfare State is a necessity for humanity and individualist liberalism must be limited in its anarchic neoliberal elites.

North America ends up paying for the broken dishes of the oligarchies such as the Atlacomulco Group and the Capellonacracia. Between 1994 and 2018, the violence and impoverishment of Mexico has only resulted in emigration and organized crime that have shaped the Mexican and, slowly, American Failed State. During the Salinato, the national government launched a Kemalista project that aimed at leveling and socioeconomic integration, sabotage of Mexico's economic development fueled decades of incremental emigration and drug violence. The unbearable closeness between Mexico and the United States has been fueled by the Democrats to the levels of social explosion.

The end of the Cold War meant the end of imperialist impunity. The behavior of the United States in other regions affects its internal processes. Mexico is a dam to the problems that the south represents, but it can no longer remain in a situation of remote administration or with absolute corruption. AMLO represents the necessary modernization of the South that extends capitalist economic processes to shield North America. Without development in the south of the country, Mexico's problems will lead to Central American and Caribbean dynamics that will make the US systemic threshold unbearable.

What happens if Mexico destabilizes? That the Failed State is contagious to the United States because it is no longer the backyard but the Living Room, what does a Failed United States mean? The dismemberment. The United States is not a Homeland, it is not a Nation but a Corporatist TRUST that is going to dismember as it was configured towards the end of the American Civil War. In the 19th century, the United States saved Mexico and Mexico saved the United States. Jaime Castrejon writes about it, “in 1987 Joel Garreau published a book that has held the interest of scholars during these years: The Nine Nations of North America. His main argument is that we should forget about current maps; The people of North America are naturally splitting into rival power blocs, with separate loyalties, interests, and plans of their own for the future. [...] The nine nations whose seat is not in the concept of the nation-state but in the grouping of similarities and cultural similarities, are: Iron and steel industry in the Northwest, Dixie in the South, Bread Basket in the Midwest. , Chicago and a small strip of Canada; Ecotopia on the north Pacific coast; Mexamérica in New Mexico, California, Texas, Arizona and from Mexico to Panama; New England, in the extreme northwest; Quebec, as a French-speaking country; the Empty Zone, from Colorado to Alaska; and the Islands that comprise part of Florida, Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and the English-speaking Caribbean ”.

AMLO assumed immense presidential power in the worst crisis of political discredit and economic disaster, had to accept pragmatic and immoral alliances for geopolitics. The United States is also on the border of chaos with an immeasurable number of political bombs. Will they continue to heed Zbigniew Brzezinski's vision in a world that no longer belongs to them? Are you sure they all fit in the ships that lead to Mars?
