| description | The current rise of new right-wing groups with a particular combination of intransigent economic liberalism and conservative nationalist fascism, a kind of liberfascism, advocates for both a strict apology for the capitalist market and the exclusion of anything that challenges its model in the political and cultural spheres. Based on the populist discourse that exploits the discontent caused by neoliberal democracy, they gain followers for nationalist, cultural, and racist reasons that in the end are nothing more than right-wing deception to protect the rule of capital. Faced with the restoration of an already exhausted neoliberal model, an intersectionality appears between the Left and the Right which, far from confirming the diagnosis of the end of ideologies and the deactivation of the class struggle, rekindles conflicts over capital. This article deals with such a situation. It argues how intersectionality is not a privilege of the Left, but is also used by the extreme populist Right to channel discontent and propagate its particular brand of oppression. It is concluded, based on examples of struggles in Latin America and Europe, that an intersectional and transversal politics must be developed in the face of the hegemony of the new populist and nationalist Right; the political tactic must not be local, but must pursue a new international strategy. |

El actual auge de nuevos grupos de derecha con una particular combinación de liberalismo económico intransigente y fascismo nacionalista conservador, una especie de liberfascismo, aboga tanto por una estricta apología del mercado capitalista como por la exclusión de aquello que desafíe su modelo en los ámbitos político y cultural. Partiendo del discurso populista que explota el descontento causado por la democracia neoliberal, ganan adeptos y adeptas por razones nacionalistas, culturales y racistas que en el fondo no son más que enredos de la derecha para proteger el gobierno del capital. Ante la restauración de un modelo neoliberal ya agotado, aparece una interseccionalidad entre la izquierda y la derecha que, lejos de confirmar el diagnóstico del fin de las ideologías y la desactivación de la lucha de clases, reaviva los conflictos por el capital. Sobre tal situación versa este artículo. Se argumenta cómo la interseccionalidad no es un privilegio de la izquierda, también es usada por la extrema derecha populista para canalizar el descontento y propagar su particular marca de opresión. Se concluye, con base en ejemplos de las luchas en América Latina y Europa, que se debe desarrollar una política interseccional y transversal frente a la hegemonía de la nueva derecha populista y nacionalista; la táctica política no debe ser local, sino que debe perseguir una nueva estrategia internacional. A atual ascensão de novos grupos de direita com uma combinação particular de liberalismo econômico intransigente e fascismo nacionalista conservador, uma espécie de liber-fascismo, defende tanto uma apologia estrita do mercado capitalista quanto a exclusão de qualquer coisa que desafie seu modelo nas esferas política e cultural. A partir do discurso populista que explora o descontentamento causado pela democracia neoliberal, ganham adeptos por motivos nacionalistas, culturais e racistas que, no fundo, nada mais são do que emaranhados da direita para proteger o governo do capital. Diante da restauração de um modelo neoliberal já esgotado, surge uma interseccionalidade entre esquerda e direita que, longe de confirmar o diagnóstico do fim das ideologias e da desativação da luta de classes, reaviva os conflitos pelo capital. Este artigo é sobre esta situação. Argumenta como a interseccionalidade não é um privilégio da esquerda, mas também é usada pela extrema direita populista para canalizar o descontentamento e propagar seu tipo particular de opressão. Conclui-se, com base em exemplos de lutas na América Latina e na Europa, que uma política interseccional e transversal deve ser desenvolvida contra a hegemonia da nova direita populista e nacionalista, assim como que a tática política não deve ser local, mas deve seguir uma nova estratégia internacional.
