The “progressivisms” in Argentina and the recent events in Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua

Abstract

The text traces the positions of what it calls "progressivisms" in Argentina, focusing on three specific moments: the Bachelet report for Venezuela, the 2021 electoral process in Nicaragua and the events of July 11 in Cuba. It seeks to examine whether in these cases differences can be observed within those who usually sustain a discourse of closed support for these regimes, and also to highlight other critical positions of these regimes, also located in the generic field of "the left" or progressivism.It concludes by asking whether the election of Gabriel Boric in Chile can open a new scenario in the left-wing reflection on those regimes.
