  Anti-populism takes up anti-communism Diego Martín Velázquez Caballero The removal of the sculptures of Fidel Castro and Che Guevara has renewed the debate surrounding anti-communism in Mexico. The animosity of the radical Morena supporters places President Claudia Sheinbaum facing a significant challenge, given the historical trajectory of anti-communism in Mexico, an issue that requires careful, thoughtful, and critical approach. Anti-communism in Mexico is not new, but it has gained strength in the last decade, especially since 2006, when animosity and anti-populism intensified following post-election conflicts and the wave of the South American left. This phenomenon transcends mere electoral competition and is an ideological confrontation that seeks to arouse fears of communism. This strategy could have profound consequences for the country's political and social polarization, primarily because it appeals to North American interests. Mexican society is deeply conservative, il...

 NarcoMexico: Today as Always Diego Martín Velázquez Caballero It is carefully observed how certain situations, which at first might seem novel, actually resonate with historical dynamics within the Mexican political sphere. Mexico has been the North American Sicily for many decades, not only during the Morena administration. A recent example is the case involving the former governor of Tabasco and current senator, Adán Augusto López Hernández. While his situation has generated worrying conversations, accusations linking the political class to complex relationships rarely lead to decisive consequences. North America has always known that the political class is permeated by drug trafficking, yet it does nothing about it. A precedent of this nature, which still resonates, is that of former Secretary of Public Security, Genaro García Luna, whose legal process, so far, does not seem to have brought any tangible benefit to the country, but rather the opposite, leaving a taste of uncerta...

 Not Paper, Just Tomatoes Diego Martín Velázquez Caballero The fact that almost 100% of the production of such a basic agricultural product as tomatoes is destined for export to a single country constitutes absolute proof of the profound asymmetrical and colonial integration that Mexico maintains with the Yankee Empire. The concern of large landowners about Trump's tariffs is legitimate from their business perspective; however, should they be thinking about domestic consumption? In other words, could the tomato businessmen and landowners in our country be kind enough to ensure people could access this agricultural product without the radical variation it presents in the market? The same is true of products ranging from cilantro to lemons in the variety of our folkloric national cuisine. The humanism of businessmen and landowners in our country is incredible; they might as well be Japanese to feel proud of the situation! The United States' absorption in Mexican tomatoes is more ...

 Elon Musk and the Breakdown of the American Two-Party System Diego Martín Velázquez Caballero It is undeniable that the political history of the United States has been characterized by the two-party hegemony of Republicans and Democrats. However, the possibility of a significant break looms on the horizon, driven by atypical figures such as the techno-feudal entrepreneur Elon Musk. Just as Ross Perot once did, Musk could seriously challenge this established dominance, opening a new chapter in American political dynamics and becoming a third rather than a leading actor in the United States. The United States political system, although one of the oldest and most democratic in the world, shows growing signs of disenchantment and a progressive loss of its appeal in the evolution of contemporary liberal culture. North America has managed to develop a functional presidential system, perhaps the only one of its kind, despite an electoral model that many consider unfair and plutocratic. F...
