Neoliberalism, Fake News and Electoral Processes
Fernando Buen Abad | orinocotribune.com | 2021-05-30
By Fernando Buen Abad — May 25, 2021 | It is a huge mistake to assume that neoliberalism is only a bourgeois canniness exclusive to the economic-financial field. It is a serious error that must be corrected immediately. Neoliberalism is, pathetically, an ideological ambush (in the sense of the "false consciousness" explained by Marx) developed to dispute and impose the "common sense" of certain capitalist interests in their imperial phase.

After decades of protests over healthcare, pensions, education and other issues, these multiple demands converged as one general clamour for social justice and dignity. The referendum for the new constitution, one of the core objectives, would reveal that the status quo had lost legitimacy and that the Chilean people were demanding the re-foundation of the country. This meant dismantling the legacy of the Pinochet regime which benefited a handful of people who today own companies that once belonged to the Chilean State.
