Description
Abstract
Este artículo se inscribe en las interpretaciones recientes del populismo. El mismo intenta mostrar que las críticas de dos escuelas diferentes (liberales y de “izquierda”) convergen si se le miran ontológicamente. El diferimiento entre ambas escuelas estaría dado por las definiciones en diversas categorías, tales como democracia o política. Esto provocaría una manera particular de interpretar el populismo, que impide en algún sentido un debate entre ambas posturas. No obstante, damos cuenta de una convergencia. Desde una línea de izquierda o marxista, se le podría recriminar al populismo que su vaciamiento ideológico no permite el afloramiento de la lucha de clases, ni la emancipación. A su vez, desde una perspectiva liberal el populismo podría ser visto como una amenaza a la democracia porque los derechos humanos y la preservación de la democracia liberal serían –de alguna manera– lo emancipatorio. La demanda por un contenido fijo sería la convergencia ontológica entre dos escuelas que parecerían irreconciliables entre sí.
Abstract: The present article is part of the recent interpretations of populism. It aims to show the main criticisms of two schools (liberals and the “left”) that tend in the same ontological direction. The deferment between both is based on the definition of its diverse categories, such as democracy or politics. It provokes a particular way of interpreting populism that prevents the debate between the two schools. Nonetheless, we try to show convergence. A Marxist criticism could say that populism –due to its ideological emptiness– does not allow the full development of the class struggle and the emancipation of the working class. In the same sense, a liberal perspective could see populism as a threat to democracy because human rights and the preservation of democracy could be –in some vision– emancipatory. The claim for permanent content would be the ontological convergence between two schools that seem too different.
