Britain’s Empire: resistance, repression and revolt

This article discusses how to overcome the limitations of liberal democracy whilst remaining committed to a constitutional political order based on individual rights. Combining insights from Hispanophone and Anglophone scholarship, we argue that the tradition of specifically plebeian republican political thought offers resources for overcoming the perennial liberal problem that socio-economic divisions beyond the state are rendered politically invisible, leaving democracy vulnerable to oligarchic capture. Thus, we outline an institutional vision of plebeian democracy based on two insights. First, starting from a republican notion of liberty as material independence we understand social (property) rights as constitutive for the democratic body politic on a par with political-juridical rights. Second, we advocate the need for separate institutions of elite accountability as checks on oligarchy. To connect theory and praxis, we illustrate this framework through a critical-affirmative analysis of the discourse of Bernie Sanders and Podemos leader Pablo Iglesias. Although both are viewed as “left populists” due to their invocations of an elite-people antagonism, they are more accurately described as plebeian democrats, who share an ideal of democracy as a civic and rights-based, republican model of government.

Civilizing left populism: Towards a theory of plebeian democracy

El articulo introduce la reflexion acerca de la constitucion de nuevos actores politicos a partir del fenomeno del desplazamiento forzado en Colombia y plantea el rol del acompanamiento psicosocial a las personas que lo han sufrido. Para esto, propone una caracterizacion politica del inmigrante campesino, realiza un analisis conceptual de la oferta ciudadana de las entidades gubernamentales y no gubernamentales que atienden, acogen o acompanan a las personas desplazadas y plantea el problema del encuentro entre estas dos realidades; finalmente partiendo de un ejercicio de reconceptualizacion de la politica desde los aportes del pensamiento complejo, hace una propuesta especifica de acompanamiento psicosocial en dicho encuentro.

Property, freedom and money Modern Capitalism reassessed

Of the three great principles of the French Revolution —liberty, equality, and fraternity— the concept of fraternity has been, philosophically speaking, the least studied and the most enigmatic. This article proposes a philosophical discussion of the concept of “fraternity” through the various conceptual metaphors that have been made through time. The author proposes that there are several conceptual metaphors that are completely different and even political and cognitive opposites, ranging from the modern republican political tradition to a legacy for contemporary socialism. The article concludes that the future of republican socialism lies in setting in resolutely and realistically setting in motion the pancivilizing program of fraternal revolutionary democracy.
