Abstract
The “good-left-versus-bad-left” framework disseminated by Jorge Castañeda, among others, obscures the underlying similarities that cut across all leftist regimes in Latin America while drastically oversimplifying the relationship between the so-called bad left and its “good” counterpart. A shift of focus from heads of state to social movements reveals both that the question of social movements and the state transcends such binaries and that it is precisely within the “bad left” that we find some important lessons for the future. El marco de “buena izquierda versus mala izquierda” diseminado por Jorge Castañeda, entre otros, opaca las similitudes básicas que cortan a través de todos los regímenes izquierdistas en América Latina, y a la vez simplifica de manera extrema la relación entre la llamada mala izquierda y su contraparte buena. Un cambio de enfoque de los mandatarios a los movimientos sociales revela tanto que la cuestión de movimientos sociales y el Estado trascienden tales binarias, como que es precisamente dentro de la “mala izquierda” que encontramos importantes lecciones para el futuro.
