El imaginario político latinoamericano se asienta sobre unos marcos
categoriales y unos presupuestos conceptuales que son demasiado estrechos
y reducidos. La actitud de no cuestionarlos consolida los intereses
de los grupos dominantes que se benefician del actual sistema capitalista. Se
hace necesario contar con más elementos y más variables de análisis para
comprender mejor la práctica política y estudiar mejor la realidad desigual y
la cultura autoritaria y no democrática de América Latina.
The Latin American political imaginary settles on categorical frames and
conceptual assumptions that are too narrow and limited. The attitude of not questioning
them consolidates the interests of the dominant groups that benefit from the current capitalist
system. It becomes necessary to rely on more elements and variables of analysis
to better understand the political practice and study the unequal reality and the authoritarian
and not democratic culture of Latin America. Taking Evo Morales’s Bolivia as
background, it is needed to visualize limits and conditions both external and internal:
among others, the economic context, the political elitism, the urgency of claiming a participative
democracy of people, etc. With them it will be possible to better accompany
the development of a more popular and liberating politics.
