The notion of hegemony exists to understand
that to exercise the power it is not fundamental to occupy, physically, the
structure of the gouvernment. I think that the period we are talking about,
which goes from 1979 to the current coup, is marked by a political hegemony of
the ruling classes, even though we have had leftist governments, important
social achievements and important social pressure for citizenship and social
inclusion.
Despite these achievements, the oligarchies
maintained their control over economic power and, more than that, progressed,
both in the control of the means of production and in the ideological devices
of support of their conservatism. Another important element is the fact that
this hegemonic construction allowed the production of devices for the circulation
of elites and for the consequent co-optation of a part of these elites to their
power project.
