Abstract

The Swing to the Right: An Update of Latin American Politics Th e current authoritarian turn in neoliberal capitalism is providing further evidence that the dominant economic system is inseparable from the state apparatus -and, in this particular moment, from processes of state corpo ratization.Currently, tendencies like neoliberalism and state corporatization constitute two sides of the same coin.According to David Harvey ( Jipson and Jitheesh 2019), this adherence is due to the fact that neoliberalism 'no longer commands the consent of the mass of the population'.It has lost its legitimacy.According to this author, neo-liberalism could not actually survive without entering into an alliance with state authoritarianism.It now is moving towards an alliance with neo-fascism, because as we see from all the protest movements around the world, everyone now sees neo-liberalism is about lining the pockets of the rich at the expense of the people.
