| Sumario: | This article explores the reasons that neoconservatism publicly uses to promote its moral agenda in articulation with neoliberal agendas. The proposals of a series of “pro-life” / “pro-family” political parties in Chile, Brazil, Argentina and Peru, and content produced by disseminators of neo-conservative ideas in South America were analyzed. The article proposes three categories that synthesize the ways in which the neoconservative-neoliberal articulation takes place: a “functional assembly” that understands that tradition is functional to free market order; a “subsidiary assembly” that understands that the withdrawal of the State would strengthen subsidiary institutions, such as the patriarchal family; a “defensive assembly” that assumes that all state intervention, including sexual and reproductive rights, responds to a neo-Marxist agenda.
