| Sumario: | This article criticizes the use of the concept of democracy in the academic-intellectual, political-institutional scopes and in the popular clamor of social movements in contemporary Chile. A balance is made between theory and praxis in the search and fight for the construction of a new post-dictatorship society in which inexorable processes prevail to define the course of the political system and its forms of government: class struggle, repression of the people by the Armed Forces and neoliberalism-capitalism promoted by the bourgeoisie. Identifying the transformation of the various political processes in Chile from the so-called transition to democracy in 1990 and locating their respective actors, as well as their different ideological perspectives, will allow establishing clearly and without conceptual euphemisms, the form of government that has prevailed in Chile on the eve of the possibility of configuring a new Constitution. |
