Ruptures, continuities and opportunities of the Mexican left, 30 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Abstract

The present text seeks to explain the current evolution of the left in Mexico. From the turn presented by political organizations with the fall of the Berlin Wall. Where new parties and organizations emerged, many of these as mergers and divisions. The triumph of the National Regeneration Movement party represented the crowning of this past. But it was at the expense of the extirpation of all political projects that represented a transformation revolutionary of Mexican capitalism. However, a non-electoral left was also building outside the Mexican political system. This left have more similarity with the old socialist left in Mexico. But his mistake in many cases has been to remain in isolation, not to transcend influence beyond nearby circles or in specific regions. In spite of this, the political map in Mexico was open to dispute. The traditional parties are in their starvation, the new government in its first six months has a series of difficulties. Which, for now, are available because of the high margins of popularity enjoyed by the president. For militants of the anti-capitalist left, it’s time to write a new history for Mexico.
