    Boric: The expression of the failure and subservience of social democracy to big capital

Gabriel Boric was elected with the highest vote in Chilean history, 4,620,671 votes, he was a product of the revolutionary masses who fought in the streets of Chile against neoliberalism. Boric, as a student and politician, "appeared" on the national scene after this contestation of the social whole, in addition to showing himself as a promising young man regarding the candidates of the old national oligarchy. The young man participated in the election, which took place in 2021, and, after the most remarkable elections in the country's recent history, the young man betrayed everything and everyone.

A lack of brutal materialism

The new Chilean president, a few days after the victory, called US President Joe Biden. This gesture might seem like a formal gesture between two leaders of states, but it goes beyond that. Biden represents everything the Chilean people were fighting against; he represents the structural coup in the US-Latin America relationship; it represents the "Washington Consensus" and the maintenance of a unipolar order. Thus, this attitude by Boric is more than diplomatic, it is a structural error in his historical-material analysis.

Furthermore, the young lackey represents, in a nutshell, the derisory role of social democracy in the global class dynamics and its subservience to the main poles of Western power.

Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua

In addition to all this link between Boric and Western hegemonic capital, he is also serving as a propagator of Biden's new foreign policy for Latin America. The new North American doctrine tries to stop Russian and Chinese influence on the continent in this new multipolar world; as a result, Cuba, which has resisted since 1959, Venezuela, which is fighting daily against the coup by the brothers from the north, and Nicaragua, which is currently dealing with the political scenario where the opposition was bought by the US, are trying to escape these doctrines. In this way, China and Russia have shown themselves to help these nations and give them a socio-economic light; but the Americans continue their offensives and the last of them was the exclusion of these countries from the summit of the Americas, an event marked by the contradictions implied in the North American conceptualization of democracy and dictatorship. The Chilean president is close to these Western rhetorics when he reproduces speeches and gestures that show once again that he must not only change a country through the polls, but also through ideas.

Final considerations

Gabriel Boric betrayed his people and their history, showing that thousands of deaths and years of repression will be useless. The Latin American people expect the next leaders to follow this shameful path: grow by the hands of the people, then rip their hands off.
