The Revolution Betrayed?

The triumph of Alexis Tsipras and his coalition of radical left-wing parties known as Syriza in Greece almost three years ago, filled the European left with hope, which seemed more inspired at that time by the Socialism of the 21st Century and Chavismo (very influenced by Peronist Populism and the Authoritarian and Militarist Castrism), that by the old school of Marx and Engels, characters related to these "radical" tendencies like Pablo Iglesias, of the Spanish Podemos (once paid advisers of Chavista Venezuela), Jeremy Corbyn, a radical member of the English Labor Party and Jean Luc Mélenchon, a French Socialist member of the National Assembly of that country, and even recognized figures of the world economy such as Paul Krugman and Joseph Stiglitz or left-wing intellectuals such as Noam Chomsky or Naomi Klein (He even received a publicized "twit" from the then famous Dr. House, Hugh Laurie, congratulating him), they threw euphoric praises for the triumph of what appeared to be a radical leftist advance aimed at destroying the "neoliberalist status quo" in Europe, the ghost of "neoliberalism" seemed to tremble before the arrival of the young minister Tsipras, the shake of the political system was understood more as a welcome to the left that as a vote of punishment to the traditional parties, the options of right and left near the center lost their popular strength, and that space was simply filled by a figure alien to it that promised to be something different, time, always the best and most implacable judge showed us the opposite, first the political barbarities of Syriza, which included a coalition with parties almost unpresentable (by their neo-Nazi affiliations) of extreme right (or far right) as "Golden Dawn", in second place the purge of "key" characters in their rise, such as the intellectual-economist Yanis Varoufakis, the hope represented by Tsipras became disillusion very quickly, the mask fell apart, and the great man of "clash of the left" made it clear that he was not only a lousy negotiator (accepting conditions worse than that originally had Greece with respect to the European Union, and after a referendum, the favorite tool of the populist, in which the people voted not to accept the imposed conditions.), also demonstrated that far from being a revolutionary style " Che Guevara, "was nothing more than a young professional politician, and quickly aligned himself with the globalist dynamics he allegedly denounced in his campaign, the wave of disqualifications was swift, quickly characters like Mélenchon and Stiglitz denounced the" betrayal "and they separated from Tsipras, so that there is disappointment, they will always require delusions.

A few days ago Andrés López's triumph was decreed (one of his sons, as well as one of Alexis Tsipras, are called "Ernesto", in honor of Ernesto "Che" Guevara) and his coalition of parties in Mexico, Morena and his collaborators, the Partido del Trabajo, supposedly a leftist party with a clientelist tradition that has its origins both in movements of social exploitation such as Tierra y Libertad and Salinismo (which should have lost its registration just over a year ago, but was dubiously rescued by the ruling party), with leaders who for almost two decades have remained almost dictatorial in front of the body, echoing their admired Fidel Castro and Kim Jong Un, who have sent greetings with public admiration again and again, and the Partido Encuentro Social, a party of evangelical origins and the most conservative part of the PRI (with just under a year in coalition), related to the ultra-right and movements such as the National Front for the Family (publicly repudiated even by Morena members like Elena Poniatowska and Gerardo Fernández Noroña, but ultimately submissive to the superior interests of their party), Morena, more inspired by the old models of the Latin American retrograde left as the populist, authoritarian PRI and corporatist of Lázaro Cárdenas (where most of its members come from) and Argentine Peronism, inspired in turn by Italian fascism (which seems to influence a nascent cult of personality in the figure of Andrés López and his wife), that for the European social democracy of an Edward Bernstein, characters related to these tendencies, and already mentioned, such as Iglesias, Corbyn, Mélenchon, Krugman, Stiglitz and even Chomsky (besides adding the former president of Ecuador Rafael Correa, to the Bolivian president Evo Morales and former Argentine President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner), they have also received euphorically, this new arrival of the "left", This time to the continent, we should mention that it did not reach here for a "twit" of Dr. House, but if for a video of boxer Mike Tyson (wow? ¡? ¡?), Andrés arrives with the mission of facing the advance of "neoliberalism", after having "defeated the PRIAN", it is worth mentioning that a large part of that PRIAN that was supposedly defeated was slowly transferred to the ranks of Morena, his party, "strongly punished" the system and the parties traditional, although it was voted copiously by Morena with almost 90% certainly of its candidates out of precisely those traditional parties, several barbarities have already been made by Morena, a mix of candidates of dubious reputation, with shadows of accusations for crimes around them, television characters who were criticized for "spreading ignorance to the people", and the aforementioned alliance with the far right PES, all anathema to a movement supposedly liberal and secular politician (Long live the incongruity!), the reconfiguration of its original proposals as the so-called "perfect cabinet" has already begun, with the integration of characters in charge of the security system, so criticized by them in previous administrations, the integration of a traditional politician of doubtful reputation (Marcelo Ebrard) as Secretary of Foreign Relations, instead of the originally proposed Hector Vasconcelos, and the possible replacement of Olga Sánchez Cordero, originally proposed to the Ministry of the Interior, by Tatiana Clouthier, figure emanating from the PAN, entry has already been announced the continuity to the inflationary adjustments to gasoline (will not lower the price), to the negotiations for the Free Trade Agreement (announced by the future Secretary of Finance Carlos Urzua, if it is not written off before December , who also points out that the current situation in the country is very good, contrary to what Morena reported for almost six years s, now they say that a growth of 2% and an inflation of 5% is good), to the appointment (little democratic and way, with zero independence) on the part of the president of a general prosecutor (the case of the so-called "carnal fiscal" ), the use of the army in the streets to control organized crime), the contracts for the construction of the New Airport of Mexico City and the Energy Reform, all of them points strongly criticized by the previous administration, almost flags of the campaign Morena's policy and today simply confirmed without major criticism (what seems basically a continuation of the much-criticized, by Morena, of the government of outgoing Enrique Peña Nieto, will it be that we are facing a continuation of the previous supposedly "neoliberal" government and that in reality Andrés López is not that revolutionary that many wanted to think he was and that he is actually a politician as traditional as the old PRI he came from? Will those disappointed voices of unfulfilled promises take long to point out that the "revolution" has been betrayed? For there to be disappointment, illusions will always be required. Will we have our Mexican Tsipras? Will there be a Mexican chapter for "The Revolution Betrayed" by Trotsky?
