Throughout the strategy of formation of societies, humanity has gone via completely different types of group for survival, in the first occasion and for the copy of life as the species acquired extra management over its surroundings; Throughout the consolidation course of, these organizational fashions are formed by the frequent sense and morality of the second, that’s, by the nice social consensus that delimits the margins of coexistence, these margins aren’t everlasting, which for us at the moment it’s regular it might have been the reason for the stake or social demise in different occasions, but additionally (and fortunately), many practices that had been beforehand regular, believable and even desired, at the moment are more and more repudiated and denounced.
One among the oldest techniques of domination (1) is patriarchy, a system of domination the place man is the heart of all the things, “Possessor by pure proper” of all the things that surrounds him, together with girls or energy, with out this management that prostrated girls to the seclusion of the non-public (2) to ensure capitalist social copy, this mannequin imposed a social division of labor that’s mirrored in the distribution of duties inside society in keeping with gender and the duties that males and girls must fulfill, this division perpetuated a deep inequality between males and girls that, over the centuries, grew to become naturalized As a result of we had been the males who wrote, subsequently those that validated or annulled the worldview and the rules and the manufacturing and copy of information, till now we had been the ones who had the casting vote to find out the nice truths and make the nice choices of the world (3).
Solely on this manner can we perceive how simply 49 years in the past a filmmaker may order the rape of an actress “to offer the scene extra realism” (4), and this filmmaker may very well be praised as a cult artist, and his movie was thought-about one among the nice classics of common cinema; It was not till 1994 that Café Tacuba, one among the most consultant teams of Mexican rock, printed an open apology for femicide that “El Piporro” would have signed with out issues in the 1950s.
Mexico has, shamefully, the highest fee of kid sexual abuse and 80% happens inside the household, the place childhoods must be safer. This phenomenon can solely be defined due to the patriarchal pact that imposes a secrecy settlement between the family members to guard the abuser, who is sort of at all times the sufferer’s grandfather, father, uncle or brother; This patriarchal pact is what explains that, in the midst of the basic decomposition brought on by the legal warfare of Calderón and Peña Nieto, femicidal violence will improve exponentially not solely in the variety of victims but additionally in the dehumanized ferocity with which victims are violated by simply being girls. This similar pact is the one which has Mexico as the second nation in the world with the most violence in opposition to trans individuals.
We all know all this due to Marxism learn via the violet lenses of the feminist motion, the foray into public lifetime of this motion has been more and more forceful, at the moment we are able to say with out hesitation that a lot of the feminist flags are frequent sense , their victories are rising and their presence in determination making is rising. However its theoretical method and political positions are a novelty in the political and social spectrum, for the overwhelming majority of generations, particularly males, this platform is distant and obscure and above all to place into follow.
Whether it is already very tough to acknowledge that in patriarchy girls and diversities are oppressed and that the oppressing topic will not be a social class as in capitalism, however males, it’s one thing that confronts us with ourselves, with the violence that we now have suffered. exercised and people who we now have validated or naturalized, it’s tougher to do what is critical to interrupt that oppressive cycle, and even worse when the particular person, even the President of the Republic, has not had systematic entry to those approaches, even coming from resistance and different social struggles.
The Fourth Nationwide Transformation is presently positioned on this contradiction, as a result of, regardless of representing the most equitable and inclusive social platform that the nation may have at the moment, and regardless of representing the continuity of the historic social venture of our nation, it has lacked better sensitivity to grasp and handle extra clearly and forcefully the social calls for of feminism.
This contradiction doesn’t make different political choices inside the spectrum potential in Mexico any extra legitimate, however it does proof a void that This autumn has not addressed and should handle as a result of that’s its spirit as a celebration motion.
That mentioned, it also needs to be famous that if the proper wing had had the will to interrupt the patriarchal pact they’d have solved the drawback of poverty that, Due to this fact, it impacts girls to a better extent (5), it might have damaged the impunity pacts with ecclesial teams that resorted to systematic abuse (6), or with organized crime and the atrocious diversification of their sources of earnings (7 ), if the proper wing actually cared about breaking the patriarchal pact, it might promote the vital reforms in order that in every state the typification of feminicide is homologated and abortion is eradicated as a criminal offense.
And on the different hand, we should insist that it’s not sufficient to have an egalitarian and equitable discourse as a platform for inside politics, when you order the bombardment of communities on the different aspect of the world.This logic, validated by a sector of the Mexican center class and by the total progressive proper, is nothing greater than the extractivism of the a part of feminism or environmentalism that doesn’t upset imperialism, one other type of millenary domination and simply as lethal.
No comrade Andrés Manuel, to surrender the patriarchal pact is to not cease defending males, however to cease validating or minimizing their sexist behaviors and paying, every one from the place they’ll, to create the situations to ensure the non-repetition of mentioned behaviors; For instance, many people defend Julian Assange from the conviction that the empire, like the Mexican proper, sThey’re so misogynistic that they haven’t any qualms about utilizing feminist claims and calls for to create or use instances in opposition to individuals who have an effect on their pursuits, however on no account can I justify that our motion, which was created in order that nobody is ever left behind and nobody outdoors, make Salgado Macedonio a candidate for governor with ample potentialities of victory with out first clarifying the complaints in opposition to him, In a justice system that has been designed underneath the patriarchal logic, with the political weight {that a} governor represents, it might be an much more inequitable course of.
I write all this satisfied of the have to open channels of dialogue that permit deepening the strategy of nationwide transformation; I’m so satisfied that there is no such thing as a Mexico somebody higher to steer this course of than AMLO, as if feminism is one other revolution inside the revolution itself and this distance that has been generated appears to me a historic and strategic error.
Andrés Manuel as a politician is an out of the unusual, an individual who has the potential so as to add to his trigger opponents of one another, with the potential to steer the nation by setting the agenda at the nationwide and worldwide stage, and most significantly, that he has identified He knew win the affection and respect of the individuals of Mexico as nobody had completed in a long time, however as an individual he’s a person of his time, with trustworthy paradigms and values, with a authentic dedication to eradicate the structural inequality of poverty andNevertheless, but additionally with voids typical of his (and even my) technology, thus with nuances and chiaroscuro, it’s the smartest thing that would have occurred to Mexico after the lengthy humanitarian disaster by which the neoliberal governments plunged us. Thus, with shades and chiaroscuro, it is going to lay the foundations to have the ability to advance in the deepening of progressive agendas in the medium and long run.
One other concern that have to be acknowledged is that the feminist agenda, two years after the triumph of the Fourth Nationwide Transformation, has made substantial progress in the actual illustration of ladies in decision-making or in the recognition of the common proper to care., the recognition and inclusion of home employees in the State social safety, amongst different points.
The 4T is on the aspect of the feminist platform and faces its contradictions, it’s evident that inside the occasion there are those that don’t perceive or don’t agree with this place, however they do do a quick investigation on social networks of the resolutions that the occasion has made. Nationwide Fee of Honesty and Justice, you will note that those that have transgressed the agendas of the feminist and LGBTTTI actions have at all times been punished.
Our technology is lucky sufficient to expertise two nice civilizational processes: the peaceable transformation of Mexican public life that seeks to consolidate the rule of regulation and resume the social venture of earlier transformations, and the more and more highly effective e influential struggle to eradicate patriarchal violence, these two actions wouldn’t must be antagonistic however for this we’d like plenty of dialogue and empathy, that’s, we have to abandon the bellicose logic of social networks.
Finally that’s how historical past and its processes are: a wheel in everlasting movement, pushed by contradictions and inside conflicts.
