The theory of the State at the end of neoliberalism

 The theory of the State at the end of neoliberalism Diego Martin Velazquez Caballero Are the autonomous bodies and intermediate bodies part of the State? In a strict sense the answer is affirmative, but it is also important to consider the subordinate position in this regard. Suddenly it becomes urgent to review the theory of the State because in the new defensive doctrine of autonomous and independent organizations, everything is being confused in a malicious way. What is the obsessive sense of pointing out that autonomous, independent, decentralized or public bodies are more State than government? In the past, it was an administrative matter to change the names of organizations of this type, their disappearance or creation. A truly serious thing would be the disappearance of the government, since the autonomous organisms would not have the capacity to generate governability or order, authority, legitimacy and control. These organisms are not important to unite the country or to ...

The perspective of autonomous and decentralized organizations in the 4T

 The perspective of autonomous and decentralized organizations in the 4T Diego Martin Velazquez Caballero The history of the neoliberal era in Mexico could have a prologue that states: "Once upon a time there was a State...,". As much as liberal democrat political scientists raise the issue of transparency, civil society, public sphere and human rights, etc.; as a conquest of the neoliberalist stage, the truth is that the indicators and the popular conscience do not allow them to lie anymore. The international organizations that measure the quality of democracy, governance and human development have been there for more than a decade. The destruction of the State in Mexico corresponds to neoliberalism. David Collier, Menno Vellinga and Guillermo O'Donnell each built compilations during these decades to talk about the paradigm shift that the state conception of the neoliberals meant. When President Vicente Fox pointed out that the country could be managed like a company, th...

The democracy of the INE does not combine with popular democracy

 The democracy of the INE does not combine with popular democracy Diego Martin Velazquez Caballero Liberal democracy does not have a good strain in Mexican society due to the colonialist caste system; even this is known by its defenders who represent not a social class but the vertex benefited by the pigmentocracy. The IFE/INE was a failure from the beginning, but it constituted a new space for negotiation between the political parties and the PRI, between the clerofascists and the populists, to carry out concessions and graduate the radical democratic impulse of the masses. The electoralist pact constituted a form of Spanish canovism, that is, trading power alternatively, as had been done before within the Revolutionary Family. Democracy in Mexico, due to the nature of its social relations, is generated outside of the political parties and the INE. Even outside the government. It is corporate, neighborhood, populist, neighborhood, small-town, union, cooperative and school. Ordinar...

Cuauhtémoc Blanco: president and Mexico champion in 2026

 Cuauhtémoc Blanco: president and Mexico champion in 2026 Diego Martin Velazquez Caballero Of course Blanco is better than Hugo Sánchez, Chicharito and several other players; as far as football is concerned. How could he turn out as president of the republic? A few days ago, the controversy broke out in Mexican soccer regarding the terrible performance of the national team, as well as the increasingly evident corruption translated into full incompetence. The former American player -and of other teams-, now governor of the State of Morelos, has been considered as a profile to get involved in management positions of FEMEXFUT or assume the technical leadership of the soccer team itself. The thematic influence of the issue allows us to appreciate the level of politics and sports. Governance in Morelos does not exceed the Mexican average, although it also seems interesting to weigh the possibilities of Blanco rescuing national soccer from his fatal condition. After all, one of the worst...
