El déficit democrático que caracteriza a la política contemporánea en México está enraizado en una tradición e imaginario políticos cuyo epicentro no es ni la libertad política ni el empoderamiento del ciudadano, sino diversas modulaciones de centralismo, clientelismo y paternalismo heredadas tanto de nuestra herencia revolucionaria como de la construcción histórica del régimen posrevolucionario. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar y explicar por qué la búsqueda y rescate de lo que llamo "la herencia política de la Revolución" (proyectos cuyo eje central fuera la libertad política e instancias de organización política espontánea y autónoma creadas en medio de la revuelta revolucionaria) es fundamental para la rearticulación contemporánea de una tradición de democracia y participación política en México. Para ello se examina la propuesta analítica utilizada por Hannah Arendt en su estudio sobre las revoluciones modernas y se propone una aproximación a la Revolución mexicana que sea capaz de rastrear y rescatar una tradición de pensamiento y acción políticos revolucionarios enterrada bajo el peso tanto de la monumental narrativa aglutinadora y/u oficialista de la Revolución como del revisionismo social.... view less

The democratic deficit that characterizes Mexican contemporary politics is rooted in a political
tradition and imaginary that are rooted neither on political freedom nor on citizenship empowerment but rather on various modulations of centralism, patronage, and paternalism that were inherited from both our revolutionary heritage and the historical construction of the
post-revolutionary regime. This article is aimed at analyzing and explaining how the examination and recovery of what I call the "political heritage of the Revolution" -i.e., projects whose central axis was political freedom and instances of spontaneous and autonomous political organization created in the midst of the revolutionary upheaval- could be fundamental for a contemporary rearticulation of a tradition of political participation in Mexico. Thus, we examine the approach used by Hannah Arendt in her study of modern revolutions and propose an approach to the Mexican Revolution that may trace and rescue a tradition of revolutionary political thought and action that has remained buried under the weight of either the unifying and/or official colossal account of the Revolution or the fragmented historical landscape offered by social revisionism.... view less
