Sheinbaum and the Mickey Mouse Ears

 Sheinbaum and the Mickey Mouse Ears

Perhaps it is due to the pressure exerted by the United States, given the risk of an economic crisis of historic proportions due to exclusion from the North American dynamic. However, President Claudia Sheinbaum is beginning to establish a decision-making process that distances herself from her predecessor. It is true that Yankee demands regarding national security may violate the powers that be in Mexico; however, the trade balance weighs more heavily, and above all, interaction with the United States. Therefore, the Mexican government must abide by Donald Trump's dictates.

The idea of ​​North America, as Robert Pastor and Alain Rouquie pointed out, is a fatal destiny for Mexico. It is impossible to pursue a radical separation after long decades in which government and society in our country conceded productive structures, markets, and labor. It is complicated to reverse the processes of an integration that, due to its influence, is more than a constant; the Mexican-American relationship is an everyday phenomenon.

Mexico's relationship with the United States is more than a symbiosis. Sheinbaum's government has discovered that it is impossible to begin building an internal market and national industrialization under the current circumstances. The most important thing now is to maintain the relationship with North America and develop the order required by Yankee imperialism.

Sheinbaum is beginning to see support from the PRI (Private Institutional Revolutionary Party), the United States, business groups, and the Armed Forces, in addition to numerous Morena-led tendencies. The PRIMOR (National Revolutionary Party) brings Sheinbaum closer to the governability implemented by Enrique Peña Nieto. Hopefully, she will gain control of local powers to prevent a moral crisis that would encourage a highly competitive succession.

State governments and authoritarian enclaves have failed to understand the importance of the United States' formal and informal economy for Mexico. Little by little, the establishment of a collaborative game between Sheinbaum and Trump succeeds in safeguarding the second level of the fourth transformation in the techno-feudal process that the globalist US oligarchy is developing as an empire.

The contradictory governance that the Mexican political system develops through its intermediaries leaves no one satisfied; it always has been that way. It is impossible for the party in power to satisfy the needs of its electorate without considering the interests of the North American economic, political, and social power circles. AMLO survived in his own way, and Sheinbaum is beginning to build her own naval route. Hopefully, she will have enough time and the winds will favor her for the good of the republic.

Paradoxes of the Right. Imperialism as a victim of empire

Paradoxes of the Right. Imperialism as a victim of empire

In 2016, many communities of the Mixteca Poblana held processions and Catholic masses so that Donald Trump lost the elections, the towns saw with concern that the anti-Mexican rhetoric of the Republican radicalized the measures that Barack Obama implemented during his administration. The separation of families, the unjustified expulsions, the destruction of the American dream in many people, generated widespread concern about those who threatened a total wall, the expulsion of all Mexicans and the mortgage to the country to pay the costs. What will the government and society in Mexico do if they deport millions of compatriots? How will the wall be paid for? Is Donald Trump going to invade Mexico to end drug trafficking? In retrospect, as the Guadalupano pricommunists say that God is a PRI and a pro-Yanqui, it is no longer known what happened. Either God listens too late or, outright, Mexicans also dislike him.

The defeat of Donald Trump was a matter of time, he did not have the capacity to create public policies to subdue the financial capitalism of his country, he lacked vision to subdue the bureaucracy, the intelligence apparatus and the armed forces in the mission of containing the decline of North America. Trump's common sense failed to consider that only leadership was enough to mobilize the public apparatus and rescue the State. Financial and globalizing capitalism, in conjunction with dual progressive movements financed by the pragmatic right wing and a set of bogus media, has led it to bankrupt itself in the possibility of a hiatus in extractive post-neoliberalism reactivated with Joe Biden.

The failure of Donald Trump is the loss of the North American State and a clear message for nations like England, Russia and China, sovereign and imperious in the idea of ​​keeping their economies protected. The power of the swallow capitals has been joined by the chapellanocracy of the Catholic Church which, precisely in secrecy and political anarchy, has managed to sustain much of its power

For some, Joe Biden represents the civilization of democratic politics and globalized capitalism. It does not seem. The geopolitics of the Second World War is crumbling and there is no forecast that allows us to understand the new scenario where the Empire tries to impose itself. The Empire (Hardt / Negri) is the model of portfolio capitalism, invisible, virtual, which seeks to escape state control and is the promoter of an anarchist neoliberalism: that which is said to be capable of promoting coups d'état, or anything else, to get the lithium anywhere. The empire has defeated imperialism just as it defeated communism. The global health crisis is more serious than the fall of the USSR in 1989. It is urgent to slow down financial globalization, strengthen the state and keep nations safe. Yankee imperialism leaves its place to the empire of hidden investments.

For Mexico, the situation in the United States is more than important. The experience after stabilizing development indicates that Bankers, Businessmen and the Catholic Church always operate against popular interests. Reflecting on one of the youngest and most dynamic administrations, the six-year term of Carlos Salinas de Gortari, errors in his administration can be detected, according to the self-criticism of his works, and reflected in the situation that, as in the case of Donald Trump, can lead to the failure of the project: not to eliminate the nomenklatura, agree to the reform of art. 130 constitutional and depend on financial capitalism.

Since 1994 the Mexican state has not been able to restore itself and the national economy has collapsed. Salinas has retreated from neoliberalism and points out the importance of an economy of social liberalism conjured from financial capitalism / empire and with a strong state. The lesson that the transexenal project cost CSG has been repeated with the dragon effect, zamba, tequila, y2k, the war against drugs, etc. Extractivist neoliberalism, like financial anarchism, are enemies of humanity and have an extreme individualism that can end everyone.

Luc Boltanski points out the importance of a reality where the political sphere provides security, certainty and legality –in some way- to citizens. Now all that seems to be falling apart. The enemies of the State: capitalists, criminals and secret societies, seek ungovernability and confrontation, the exception of the rule of law, colonialism and the sovereignty of the powers that be. That is the reality that the United States will dominate and that has been inserted in Mexico since the late 1990s. The empire represents the death of politics, law, society and true responsible freedoms. Controlling uncertainty is more than necessary in humanitarian crisis situations such as the one we are currently experiencing; however, the empire hides itself and weakens the states. The order of chaos is what financial capitalism (Naim) seeks. The death of the State implies absolute subjection to the criminal powers. Neither the businessmen nor the Catholic Church, nor the bankers nor the progressive social movements, will save the people, who has to do it is the political community par excellence: the State

The Mexican political system is extremely weak compared to the variables of the United States, nature and health. The Mexican right, even in its fascist aspect, has never cared about the strength of the national state. An influential commentator on social networks, Patricia Navidad, shared on Twitter during the US electoral process: “The so-called Mexican right supports the US left, they say they do not want socialism, communism or dictatorship, but they support and defend Biden who comes with an agenda New World Order, communist, dictatorial and tyrannical ”. In the same vein, Eduardo Verástegui questioned Ricardo Anaya's support for the Democratic Party and its candidate.

In CSG and Trump López Obrador must look at himself. Morena has barbaric cannibalism and brutality, the lack of a political project and governance is increasingly evident. One thing is clear from the brief experience of Morenoist governments at the state and federal level. Democracy is secular or it is not democracy. The axis of religiosity was more than important in AMLO's proposal to achieve diverse alliances that would allow him to come to power. However, most of these groups have worked only for their interests and have contributed nothing to social transformation. The problem of governance in Mexico is not having a political participation apparatus that is superior to the corporatism of the Catholic Church and the economic concern of businessmen.
