The paradox of neo-conservatism and neoliberalism is based on the fact
that the former follows the guidelines of economic protectionism, and the
second is based on the free market, and the most surprising is that the former
can be considered a kind of neocommunism, the ironies of life.
And even more ironic is that
since the mid-1980s (to say the closest in historical terms), it is precisely
the small and medium-sized entrepreneurs who in the long run have been able to
benefit from globalization, not only economic, but Also in the cultural aspect
given the prevailing hyper connectivity in which the world today is.
This is a rare competition for
large oligopolies, holding companies and major multinationals. It is as if the
social and doctrinal conflict between the medieval aristocracy and the group of
so-called bourgeoisie survived. The political situation that has been happening
in the United States, which is foreseen, will also happen in some European
countries such as England, for example, has been rather a kind of civil war
expressed at the polls.
It may be a momentary reaction
on the part of conservative societies (because even young people are
conservative) in response to successive structural economic changes. It seems
as if the history, in which groups of workers burned factories during the
nineteenth and twentieth centuries as considered harmful to them and a serious
danger to the future, a matter that was overcome at the time, was repeated,
returning to the lane, harassing and Ancient concept of nationalism.
Economic ideological clashes
have been so radical that they have resulted in civil wars, revolutions, and
conventional wars between nations. Perhaps the recoverable of the political
phenomena that have occurred in recent years (we must also remember the
so-called Arab Spring), is that in all social sectors has entered into a kind
of reflections, what has been done, what is there, and what remains to be done.
Be that as it may, I prefer
that both neo-conservatism and neoliberalism be limited to a world-wide
confrontation of economic doctrines, and that society expresses its anxiety and
fears in the voting of any political election that is held, I prefer that to
return the frightful memories of a war.
