SUMMARY:

The rise of far-right governments, power projects, and movements in Latin America since 2015, along with the eclipse of the so-called Progressive Wave which began at the turn of the 20th to the 21st century (Santos, 2018), has provoked a renewal of an intense theoretical-conceptual and historical debate on the hypothetical fascist character of far-right governments and movements in the region. Among the many characteristics of dependent social formations, particularly in Latin America, three which transcend the neoliberal pattern of accumulation and reproduction, but which are producing particular effects with it, are highlighted for analysis in the proposed research. The first is authoritarianism, repression using coercive and violent means, and political instability as central features of the patterns of domination developed here since colonialism. The second is the hypertrophy of the relative surplus-population (Marx, 2013) in the context of a labor market structured by the super-exploitation of the labor force (Marini, 2000) and the precariousness of labor relations, working conditions, and the resulting remuneration. The third is the renewal and perpetuation in time and space of racialization processes and racial divisions of labor inaugurated by the colonization of the Americas (Quijano, 2005) and their imbrications with the super-exploitation of the workforce, as well as with the dehumanization and devaluation of the lives of large sections of the working class. The working hypothesis is the inference that these three fundamental long-term axes prevent the fraying of the structural limits that constrain liberal democracy in Brazil and Bolivia, while shaping the pattern of class struggle established therein. Furthermore, in the event of the rise of far-right movements, fascist or otherwise, these axes would shape the conditions for the advent, development and eventual consolidation and re-emergence of such power projects. The concrete cases analyzed will be the Brazilian and Bolivian ones. However, a large part of the reflections could perhaps be extrapolated to the broader Latin American context, given that these social formations have a general trajectory with significant common points and crossroads.
