Likewise, the search for technical efficiency at the highest levels brought about the fact that it was or is socially accepted that leaders be “trained” in said institutions that, due to the dominant logic, do not generally operate on general interests, but rather on corporate or sectarian interests that legitimately justify the advance of the Market over the State.
The traditional political parties collaborated in this feat by giving in to the political formation of their adherents, where some Few politically “enlightened” hold the truth and the consequent action.
Their internal democracy is curtailed and everything is summed up in a hyper thread concentrated in a couple who hold the factual power.
In Argentina, after the genocide of thousands of militants and political cadres as a result of the military dictatorship, this feat was reinforced in subsequent years with the Neoliberalization of local politics.
The proliferation of private institutions and their offerings was notorious while the decontainment and de-ideologization of the public – even in the great national universities – did the rest of the related work.
The imprint of arrival Nestor Kirchner and his revalidation over militancy attempted –not entirely– to reverse this situation by demonstrating that the value of politics had been able to overcome technical economism in the eagerness to find a way out of the crisis perpetrated by the neoliberal system itself.
The creation of new national universities is a good proof of this, but there is still a bit of critical rigor and a certain openness towards currents – also critical– who can form the necessary political cadres that the country requires today and tomorrow.
The great Argentine leaders from Juan Domingo Perón, Eva Perón, José Bel Gelbard, Nestor Kirchner and Cristina Fernández they do not hold postgraduate degrees to revalidate the management of the public or the State, rather, their own formations and political experiences have given them the necessary knowledge to understand what the People’s demands are.
Those who try to transfer models or theories reserved to the academic within the field of politics will commit fundamental errors where their own epistemological formation will necessarily turn on the field of reality.
Our country is the perfect counter example where an ideological and technical battery collided with an irreversible reality.
Again, we Argentines have the possibility of finding our own solutions to our own problems without resorting to the technicality generated by the postgraduate offer.
