Elon Musk and the Breakdown of the American Two-Party System

 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. For some scholars, this particular characteristic is precisely what has allowed for the complex mechanics of checks and balances, equilibrium, and equilibrium, a uniqueness rarely observed in other forms of presidential government outside of their territory. In contrast, for example, the Latin American reality offers a mirror to the dysfunctionality of presidentialism. In this region, coexistence with multi-party systems often results in authoritarian schemes. Despite various electoral and political reforms, the proliferation of parties generates governmental paralysis that leads to inefficiency and, unfortunately, to recurrent authoritarian attempts. Therefore, the indirect, aristocratic, and savagely liberal system of the United States only allows the survival of two partisan institutions, although there is an enormous associative, philanthropic, participatory, union, and militant tradition in North America.

Therefore, the potential emergence of a third party in the United States takes on particular relevance. A party that seriously competes for power would not only revitalize the political sphere but could also return greater sovereignty to civil society. Ross Perot's precedent was extraordinary, emerging at a time of notable participatory crisis in the country. Today, the relevance of a similar movement is accentuated by the excessive polarization that permeates the political environment, a context that could benefit the "Party of America" ​​initiative that Elon Musk seeks to build.

The visionary owner of Tesla, SpaceX, and other powerful industries possesses not only the financial resources, but also the technological and media resources, to develop substantial competitiveness and reach a broad audience. His vast technological empire has the potential to contribute significantly to the well-being of American society, even to the point of conceiving futuristic projects such as Elyseum, Tecnato, Modelo Downsizing, or Project Venus. Musk, with his disruptive approach, could spell the apocalypse of conventional politics, understood as a purely instinctive activity, by introducing artificial intelligence and post-technocracy as a fundamental pillar of governance and decision-making.

This South African-American entrepreneur will undoubtedly put forward a series of innovative proposals with which a large portion of the American population could identify. The technological populism embodied by Musk represents a considerable challenge for the

Democratic and Republican parties, which seem to have run out of answers in the face of China's rapid evolution and the growing global disenchantment with liberal democracy. Will the traditional American parties be up to the task of this new political era? Musk could be the Robert Redford of the film United States of Amnesia.

American political successions and Russian interventionism

NATO prepares the war against Russia in an accelerated and constant way, it does not intend a short-term negotiation in the Ukrainian conflict; on the contrary, the massive shipment of arms advances pessimistic scenarios.

Beyond the yearning for peace called for by citizens from all over the world, neither geopolitics nor neoliberal businesses stop. An inexplicable Russophobia is socialized, the Western world is not capable of assuming self-critical positions. The war machine has been set in motion and any pause generates millions in losses for the speculations of the pentagonist military complex.

The death of the main representative of the Wagner Group is shown as a sign of authoritarianism in Russia; however, the risks of authoritarianism affect all of humanity. The authoritarianism of US imperialism even affects its own population.

The incident involving the apparent leaders of the Wagner Group shows that the Cold War has turned into a Hybrid War that goes beyond international law, multilateral organizations and the State. Nothing has changed in the treatment of the empires that fight for world control, the Cold War only constitutes the closest antecedent.

All in all, Vladimir Putin's power is stabilizing in the face of various attacks from the West. Russia is defending its territorial integrity and sovereignty. The BRICS seek to democratize neoliberal globalization. The United States opposes everything.

There is a turning point that benefits Russia in the geopolitical game of the world board, the turn corresponds to them now in view of the upcoming presidential elections in Mexico and the United States. Presidential elections are moments of weakness, blind spots in the conduct of political systems. The 2024 elections in Mexico and the United States, as well as in other countries on the continent, open flanks in national security.

Political polarization and electoral competitiveness are difficult moments for a failed or consolidated democracy. America knows about Russian interventionism in the presidential elections, knows how it affects. Will it happen again? Can it happen in Mexico? Is Mexico the Ukraine of the United States? Does it make sense for the United States to destabilize the Mexican elections? North American interventionism in the Mexican elections opens the doors wide for groups interested in complicating their living space. Why bring the Ukrainian war to the Rio Grande?

Cuba: the Latin American Crimea

Cuba: the Latin American Crimea Diego Martin Velázquez Caballero

Perhaps there is no Latin American emblem as significant as Cuba represents it. The defense of the Argentine Malvinas is an act of supreme courage, but Cuba's resistance to imperialist ambition is immeasurable. David against Goliath is a brief metaphor for the infinite dignity that the Cuban revolution has manifested. Beyond ideological conflicts, Cuba personifies for Latin America a bulwark of identity. The last possession of the Spanish empire is also a watchword of life. Cuba is the other Spanishness, the utopia of a revolutionary and social republic, secular, plural and significant. The United States has only enslaved Latin America and Cuba represents Spartacus who has managed to wound the American colossus. The blockade of Cuba must end. The oppression of the powerful over the weak is only ignominy and, therefore, the world is with the Cuban revolution. Robert Pastor has marked the expiration of anti-communism in globalization; Yet US imperialism, like an old and foolish Cyclops, continues to pursue the Bolshevik Moby Dick even in the soup flies. The pandemic has revealed the validity of many kinds of life, but it demonstrates the profound crisis that liberalism holds: Anglo-Saxon individualism kills more people than any kind of socialism. Latin America, and particularly Mexico, must strengthen diplomatic relations with Cuba at whatever cost. The Gulf of Mexico has been a lock for regional development and growth derived from the blockade, but US domination would be more serious if Cuba loses sovereignty. The United States knows the value of Cuba beyond geopolitical positions, it is enough to observe the preference of North American society for Cuban immigration to the detriment of others. Education, science, sports and health; they are successful policies that Cuba implements and exchanges. Just look at the group of athletes, doctors and different professionals who live in the United States and were trained on the island. There are plenty of historical reasons to show that the freedom of Cuba is the least important thing to US imperialism. True totalitarianism is North American imperialism, an absolutism unparalleled in the history of empires, Ernesto Guevara is the Christ of the Nazarene compared to the Himmler that any president of the United States could personalize. North America has lost the battle for the historical sense of liberalism and it is the natural balance that makes Cuba's subsistence and her resistance pertinent. The Democratic Party could change things, but it is more interested in confusing the world, in conspiring to sustain a hegemony that has the seconds counted. The problem is not Latin America but the West, particularly an Anglo-Saxon culture that does not give in its capacity for interventionism and manipulation to get the most out of things. Anglo-Saxon individualism simply drags the world to its destruction and, therefore, utopian islands like Cuba deserve to be defended despite the socialist regime. Latin America and Africa did not seem to exist for the West and the United States, which have exercised extreme colonialism, said carelessness in geopolitical management is a sign of historical clumsiness, now Africa advances thanks to Islam and Latin America will progress if it soon abandons the false anti-communist rhetoric. If North America were to eliminate the blockade on the Cuban island, Caribbean socialism would have disappeared a long time ago and a liberal regime would be presented that would lay the foundations of a different capitalism, without taking into account the enormous development and economic benefit that it would mean for the region of the Gulf of Mexico and the Latin American Caribbean. Together with the United States, a development model capable of empowering everyone could be formed. The economic blockade is beneficial to the anarchist liberalism of the United States and the corrupt conservatism of Latin America. As long as the blockade against Cuba persists, the Latin American populist movement will have reasons to sue and exhibit Yankee imperialism with justified reasons. Cuba is the scapegoat for maintaining an anti-communist struggle that has lost meaning and further confuses the internal issues of the United States. Cuba, like Latin America, requires better treatment from the United States and a multilateral international relationship.

Intermarium, Imperialism and Coup in Latin America

Intermarium, Imperialism and Coup in Latin America

A few months ago, the Albores Magazine of the UAQ (2018 N.3) published a collective article on North American geopolitics during the Cold War era https://www.comecso.com/publicaciones/revista-albores-num-3. Weeks later, the Polish intellectual Maciek Wisniewski (La Jornada, 9/8/2019), expressed his surprise that the Latin American ultra right would take notes of an old and local project as, at the beginning of the 20th century, Josef Pilsudski was thinking . The historical analysis of Western intelligence strategies shows that the one who really resumed said anti-communist project and transferred it in principle to the Nazis and then to the Americans was the Catholic Church. The tripod faced the USSR and won in the Cold War, it is currently held as the triangle of Western control in the world.

Although the current geopolitics considers that the coordinates of the international analysis can no longer be those of the postwar period, the truth is that the protagonists of that moment are still the central states in the new world order. Likewise, the dementia of the myth of a Judeo Masonic Communist Conspiracy is the rhetoric of Latin American rights to propose an anti-Semitism without Jews (Claudio Lomnitz), capable of developing a machinery of death, disappearance and extermination against those who oppose the Holy Alliance : Christianity, Nazis and North America.

What happened in Venezuela, Chile, Ecuador and Bolivia show the strength of the theory and practice of Intermarium in Latin America. The Christian fundamentalism of the Catholic, Protestant and evangelical nationalists is nourished by an extremely violent and murderous anti-communist rage. Even though the Latin American left frequently took the option of guerrillas to generate the transformations that inspired their utopias, when it comes to hate, violence and authoritarianism, the right provides the strongest examples.

Medieval Christian thought, more than fascism, influences the action of rights and qualifies as universal enemies those who postulate progressive, social or nationalist ideas. The Catholic Church achieved the survival of the Roman Empire thanks to the persecution and extermination of communities reluctant to political religion. In this sense, for two thousand years the axis has been anti-Semitism or anti-Judaism; The method of destruction against the Jews is employed against the enemies of Christianity. Adolfo Hitler and his collaborators implemented it at the time, later, North America directs it.

The striking behavior of the Latin American right recalls the Cesaropapist expansionism. These Crusade or Holy War postulates have been used by American Imperialism to lead these warrior monks and create a highly favorable context; Thus, anticommunism has served to make Latin America the backyard of the Anglo-Saxon and Christian living space

The most forceful events for Latin America are closely linked to activities of the North American Intelligence Office. Although public opinion and a good part of the American political class support the United States to do what is necessary to amend the Hispanic chaos, the truth is that, paradoxically, disorder in adolescent republics is most convenient to Anglo-Saxon imperialism.

The historical sequence of foreign interventions, coups, indigenous extermination, rural communities, student and revolutionary communities have a common denominator: the CIA. The belligerence and terrorism of the rightist groups are financed by North America and the Holy See, the revolutionary leftist groups, rather than communist, have been anti-American nationalist groups.

Historical research has found the intersection of American Intelligence to generate the balances of power that suit their interests. Thanks to the Catholic national right, Latin America is chaos and is kidnapped by factual powers that constitute the true face of Western fundamentalism: the clerical Borgias. The enemies of Latin American modernity are the Ayatollahs of the faith who have no respect for life, the common good and marginalized social groups. They are still in the task of consolidating the Counter Reformation; rebuild the Carolingian Empire or the Holy Roman Empire.

The conflict results in the generation of Failed States that are ending up affecting North America. Latin American instability is equal to disproportionate emigration, drug trafficking and organized crime. The Failed States are zombie nations that are getting closer to North America. The southern United States can now be considered Hispanicized.

The American geopolitics have long warned, the risks for the Yankee Empire to solve the political behaviors of the Latin American right. But the invisible American government insists on controlling the hemisphere under agreements with the clerofascist groups in the region. The relationship of the United States with ultra-Christian groups is similar to that of Caligula and his horse. With them bread be eaten.

Faced with a context of exclusion, poverty, discrimination, cacicazgos and orphanhood, only emigration, informality and drug trafficking represent real options for the poorest population, which is the majority, to find a possibility to change their conditions. Both ways, the United States is the point of arrival.

In the face of the Latin American chaos managed by the rights, the United States will not be able to face the tandem of Latin American structural and historical problems and demands. More than a Hispanic challenge, the situation can become a final challenge.

The coup in Bolivia, the repression of social movements, enforced disappearances, the inhibition of social policies and the anti-communist polarization place us in that procedural democracies in the region must wear Mickey Mouse's ears and the crucifix. The geniuses of our political science are not even able to propose parliamentarism as a mediator, adducing cultural traditions. The Latin American lefts are warned, in that way, of the cost involved in the confrontation with the United States and the Cesaropapist rights. The 4T in Mexico will turn a Disneyland scenario to prevent the reactionaries from putting on Rambo's costume, there is the case of Pedro Salmerón and San Eugenio Garza Sada.

Latin America cannot protect itself from North America, the United States only respects countries that possess nuclear weapons; However, given the medieval time of our context, the Caudillo Bolívar of Gabriel García Márquez will remain lost in his labyrinth and will only find comfort in the Quijote de la Mancha.
