POR EMELYN HERASME<\/b><\/p>\n
El imperialismo nunca desapareci\u00f3; por el contrario, se ha perfeccionado en su versi\u00f3n m\u00e1s c\u00ednica. No necesita tanques para dominar; basta con envenenar el lenguaje. Cuando Trump profiere que Colombia o M\u00e9xico est\u00e1 \u201ccontrolado por c\u00e1rteles\u201d, o que Venezuela es un caos que hay que \u201carreglar\u201d, no describe la complejidad de esas realidades, las reduce estrat\u00e9gicamente, construyendo las condiciones discursivas que habilitan y legitiman la intervenci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n
Cuando afirmo que ya no hacen falta tanques, no estoy negando la violencia material ni sus consecuencias devastadoras. Me refiero, precisamente, a su antesala. Esa violencia rara vez irrumpe de forma espont\u00e1nea: es el discurso el que <\/b>la precede, la habilita y la leg\u00edtima. Antes de los bombardeos, como ocurri\u00f3 en Venezuela, hay una narrativa que los vuelve pensables, justificables y, para muchos, incluso necesarios.<\/p>\n
Foucault describe esto con notable claridad en Microf\u00edsica del poder<\/i> (1979), se\u00f1ala que el poder no solo reprime, sino que fabrica verdad, de modo que discursos repetidos hasta el cansancio terminan por clasificar pa\u00edses enteros como enfermos terminales, criminales irredimibles o incapaces de gobernarse, transformando as\u00ed la soberan\u00eda ajena en un estorbo que debe ser removido.<\/p>\nDonald Trump<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nLa jugada maestra es convertir la agresi\u00f3n en un acto de bondad, hasta el punto de que, si un pa\u00eds es catalogado como \u201cfallido\u201d, invadirlo deja de ser violencia imperialista y se disfraza de \u201cayuda humanitaria\u201d, en un discurso que diagnostica, estigmatiza y prescribe la misma receta de siempre: m\u00e1s control estadounidense, siempre en beneficio de quien ya detenta el poder.<\/p>\n
El nuevo imperialismo es capilar, como dec\u00eda Foucault, y tambi\u00e9n cobarde. Se filtra en tuits, entrevistas, titulares y conversaciones cotidianas. No requiere una declaraci\u00f3n de guerra formal; basta con que la idea de \u201cpa\u00edses fallidos\u201d se vuelva sentido com\u00fan para que cualquier intervenci\u00f3n futura parezca razonable y tenga justificaci\u00f3n moral.<\/p>\n
Situemos la mirada anal\u00edtica en M\u00e9xico y Colombia: afirmar que los c\u00e1rteles \u201cmandan\u201d es una mentira grosera que ignora el consumo voraz de drogas en EE.UU. y sus propias pol\u00edticas fallidas. Pero esa caricatura sirve para fantasear con marines \u201crestaurando orden\u201d, como si no hubieran dejado sangre y miseria cada vez que lo intentaron.<\/p>\n
El truco se ha pulido en la era digital: una frase repetida millones de veces se vuelve dogma. Ya no hace falta controlar ej\u00e9rcitos si se controla el relato. La verdad se fabrica en redacciones y algoritmos al servicio del poder. Quien decide qu\u00e9 pa\u00eds es \u201cfallido\u201d decide tambi\u00e9n qui\u00e9n puede violar su soberan\u00eda impunemente. Esa etiqueta siempre la impone quien tiene portaaviones, bancos y medios para hacerlo.<\/p>\n
El verdadero peligro es que nos traguemos la naturalizaci\u00f3n de lo que est\u00e1 pasando y aceptemos que ciertos pueblos son \u201cca\u00f3ticos por naturaleza\u201d. Si asumimos esa premisa, renunciamos a pensar soluciones colectivas y complejas, y aceptamos la violencia como atajo. Nos conformamos con el bombardeo r\u00e1pido, presentado como inevitable o incluso racional, aunque la historia grite, una y otra vez, que ese camino siempre termina en m\u00e1s ruina, m\u00e1s resentimiento y menos futuro.<\/p>\n
Foucault lo plante\u00f3 con precisi\u00f3n, quien domina el discurso domina el poder; en este nuevo imperialismo disfrazado de preocupaci\u00f3n humanitaria, esa idea funciona como una alerta que no podemos ignorar.<\/p>\n
Como siempre, esta servidora no busca cerrar el debate, sino ampliarlo. La invitaci\u00f3n queda abierta a leer a Foucault, no como una autoridad acad\u00e9mica intocable, sino como una herramienta cr\u00edtica para pensar el poder, el lenguaje y sus efectos muy reales sobre nuestras vidas.<\/p>\n
