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 contribute to the political system.
The discussion is important to establish because there is serious malice on the part of constitutionalists and political scientists attached to the PRIANRD and increasingly distant from scientific analysis. Cesar Cansino was not wrong when he wrote about the death of political science. In recent times, the theory of the neoliberal state will end up considering that the nation is also imaginary.
The false civilist, autonomist, pseudo-democratic and unfortunately anti-Mexican discourse; hides an authoritarian, reactionary, conservative and pro-Nazi streak. There is no liberal or anarchist thought in them, they are old and new conservatives. Reason why his real interest is to destroy the Mexican State.
The new architects of the public space are constructing paths of anti-state rhetoric that they pass off, paradoxically, as statists. During the prolonged neoliberal night, it was maintained with authoritarian dogmatism that there was no more important issue than diminishing the State, cornering it and making it transparent by all possible means. Made. Was it useful for something? Do you remember Enrique Peña Nieto? The results are plain to see, neoliberalism dismantled the Mexican state and created a welfare state for oligarchic businessmen, brought Mexican society to its knees in the face of the powers that be, and established a golden bureaucracy expert in collusion and political concertation. All of the above was carried out based on the argument of the Lilliputian dwarfism of the Mexicans and the benign civilizing work of the market. His methodology only allowed the return of the PRI. And they keep talking about the PRI State as the best.
The Peñanietista six-year term was the concrete result of that neoliberal dogma, for this reason the society decided to change the political economic model in 2018. The society chose to rebuild the State of the Mexican revolution and limit the power of the hegemonic blocks, mafias, businessmen and groups of interest.
The autonomous organizations were constituted as facades of an invisible power that dedicated itself to looting and corrupting all the structures of the Mexican State. The first people responsible for the mud on democracy and the terrible populism were the neoliberals. Instead of continuing to defend the islands of corruption and looting that autonomous organizations represent, the best thing to do would be to propose a new State model, a post-neoliberal State.
