The political defection

The Political Defection Diego Martín Velázquez Caballero    When the Cold War represented the reality of global life, the superpowers made political agreements with extremely authoritarian actors to justify control of space. Each alliance involved a few bastards who suited them for reasons of geostrategy. The political defection of our time can be expressed in this way. The hegemonic party takes the elements and cadres it needs without questioning too much about their ethical performance. They represent positions necessary for total domination.

Beyond the opportunism and pragmatism that these practices constitute, the despicable nature of some cases allows us to frame a greater phenomenon: infiltration. Transfuguism manifests the main Machiavellian virtue, that is, simulation; which in situations of siege and imperialism such as those that attack Mexico, should be taken with greater interest and attention. In the studies of the Mexican extreme right, the journalist Álvaro Delgado describes the infiltration processes that secret societies promoted in the different economic, political and social sectors; until reaching a degree of almost absolute con...
