The national strike on Thursday, November in Colombia was the explosion of a social volcano of which it is not known for sure how much magma its depths contain. The social rebellion that began as a strike follows a pattern similar to that of the popular outbreaks that sweep the continent. Without a doubt, the one in Colombia has more similarities with what is happening in Chile, where the protests of millions of citizens complete more than days and show no exhaustion to continue mobilizing, demonstrating a high degree of awareness, unity and resistance, the main components of a popular struggle that aspires to conquer their demands.
Two characteristics distinguish the social outbreak in Chile and Colombia (Ecuador in part with the neoliberal package of Lenin Moreno ). One is the type of regime (dictatorship disguised as Iraq Telegram Number Data democracy) and the other is the economic model (neoliberalism). In Chile there is an exhaustion of both, the type of regime and the neoliberal model. The regime preserved the main features of the dictatorship that Pinochet imposed after the violent overthrow of Salvador Allende on September , A dictatorship supported by a constitution to which cosmetic modifications have been made.
At the same time, the de facto regime supported the imposition of the neoliberal model for years, which created the so-called “oasis” in which an oppressive capitalist minority lived; while the majority of Chileans had to endure oppression, exclusion and economic misery. Colombia combines a regime of years of oligarchies (long cycle) since independence, with a short cycle of years that goes from the assassination of Jorge Eliécer Gaitán until today. Political regime where the same class, the liberal-conservative oligarchy, has governed without interruption except Rojas Pinilla.
