Resumo:For the first time, Mexican democracy has a president in power who defines his government as “post-neoliberal.” In this article I explain how Mexico is facing the paradox of a turn to the left as drastic as it is impotent. By far, the government of Andrés Manuel López Obrador is the most powerful seen to date by Mexico’s young democracy; however, it is nowhere near to dismantling neoliberalism. Here I propose that we facing a failed progressivism, and conclude that it makes no sense to conceive of this government as “left-wing.”
