The Argentine musician talked about politics and said what many think. Editorial of “The Red Circle”, a program on the daily left that is broadcast every Saturday from 12 to 14 by radio with you 89.9.

  • Fito Páez He gave an interview to the EFE agency In Spain and made some statements that generated some impact or scandal in Argentina. He spoke, among many other things, the political process that our country is going through and especially of the Javier Milei government.
  • Let’s see, I am not interested in Jito as an artist (among other things because art can be criticized, but it is not “judicial”) nor to enter that false discussion of “the separation of the artist’s work.”

  • Recently, when he died Mario Vargas Llosa, The Peruvian journalist Laura Arroyo “said” that debate with a very good intervention in the La Neta de España channel in which she said that people make that de facto separation, read (it is moved or enjoyed) with the city and the dogs or conversation in the cathedral, and the time can discuss the reactionary itinerary of Vargas Llosa in the political field. Because that is also his “work.”
  • This case (that of Fito) can be addressed in the same way because, having a powerful public voice, its intervention becomes even more political.

    Likewise, what interests me to say is that it is not understood very well why so much scandal if what Fito said is what many people think and especially those who have been drawing conclusions on the right of their own previous consciousness. I refer to that wide field that includes people who identified or openly supported Kirchnerism, which are part of “progressivism” or, as sometimes self-styled, of the “national-popular field.”

  • What did Fito Páez say? Well, “that there were impossible processes to carry out within the Argentine economy”, which allegedly Milei is doing “good” or is taking care of what was “inevitable”, of what “inevitably” had to be done. He also said “that there has not been an open self -criticism of the forces that made Milei possible to be today.” And to this he added the spicy of the “failure of the utopias of the left, of European and American Marxism. That said this openly because it was against” political correction. ”
  • Let’s see, on the first issue, I think that if I start making a list to the volley, I can find 50 or 100 economists, analysts, professionals of the political comment or journalists who would have agreement with the idea that “there were processes that are unstable to do within the Argentine economy” or that “a self -criticism” of the forces that allowed the rise of Milei.
  • The second is evident (the lack of self -criticism), but in this case it is closely linked to the first. The implicit reasoning is as follows: “They do not self -criticize for not knowing how to do ‘well’ what Milei is doing at kicks”. That is, Milei carries out a wild adjustment, they say; And they answer: it is true, we had to have done it with better manners. That is the conclusion.
  • There is the point where Fito is not a novelty, much less a “incorrectness.” It is what has been saying much of the mainstream of the intellectual elite or the strongest voices in the public debate. It is not a countercurrent statement, it is in favor of that great current that is dominant. Fito simply picked up a “common sense” (and he joins that construction) that, basically, is a conceptual capitulation to the universe of ideas of Milei, to his road map, to the hard core of his project that is the economic program.
  • Let’s see, to make clear the counterpoint: Milei is not the product that the other forces “could not, did not know or did not want to make the adjustment”; Milei is the product of a chronic adjustment that has come for years and that even, sometimes, was made on behalf of the “not adjusting.” So, as I once said, many people bought the story of the “adjustment that was going to end with all the adjustments” as that old promise of the call to “the war that was going to end with all wars.” That is, the consensus in pursuit of an adjustment (on the majorities, on the State) was built discursively or by the way of facts for quite some time.
  • Second, to see, it is not “politically incorrect” to say that “Marxism or utopias failed”, that is repeated by the world among public opinion trainers. That is also to present a common sense or almost a common place built without any critical balance as if it were something disruptive or dissonant. Something that I encourage to say why others are not encouraged. Decades ago (since Fukuyama here) it has been said that alternatives to capitalism failed and that there is no other than this.
  • The reality is that The politically incorrect today is to say that capitalism is a failure. Because, let’s see, the defeat of non -capitalist experiences of the twentieth century is not synonymous with the triumph of capitalism. It was imposed (for wars, for violence, for counterrevolutions), but It is a failure from the point of view of the needs of humanity, of the management of resources, of the preservation of life, of the planet, of the species. To say that today is the politically incorrect, the uncomfortable. Add to the choir of the defeated, of the skeptics who always flirt with the thin line that separates them from cynicism, that is very comfortable. Apart, it is easy to be skeptical when one has a resolved life. To go to an extreme example, in Gaza it is very difficult to be skeptical when the “realistic” proposal is to kill you and your whole family. In Argentina it is difficult to ensure that this is what there is, that there is no alternative, when “what is there” is to work 25 hours per day to reach the end of the month.
  • So, Fito Páez’s statements are interesting less for the alleged personal contradictions than by the debate about a political balance. A balance that is not just a discussion about the past, but determines what methods and what program you have to face Milei.
