Abstract

This article positions the prohibition of psychoactive substances as a material means of strengthening States and State power. We argue that the militarized enforcement of prohibition has known outcomes beyond the control of substances, including the creation of cash economies that, firstly, support the smooth flowing of modern global capitalism, and secondly, finance US allied (reactionary) armed groups internationally. Various national contexts are considered, with a special focus on how these trends are developing in the ongoing “war on drugs” in Mexico.

En este artículo se postula la prohibición de las sustancias psicoactivas como un medio material para fortalecer a los Estados y al poder estatal. Sugerimos entonces que la aplicación militarizada de la prohibición ha tenido resultados más allá del control de las sustancias, incluyendo la creación de economías en efectivo que, en primer lugar, apoyan la fluidez del capitalismo global moderno y, en segundo lugar, financian a los grupos armados aliados (reaccionarios) de los Estados Unidos a nivel internacional. Se consideran diversos contextos nacionales, con especial énfasis en cómo se desarrollan estas tendencias en la guerra contra el narcotráfico en curso en México.

国家权力与墨西哥禁酒令的执行
这篇文章将禁止精神活性物质作为加强国家和国家权力的物质手段。我们认为,除物质管制之外,军事化执行禁酒已经取得了已知的成果,包括创造了现金经济,这些经济首先支持现代全球资本主义的平稳流动,其次为美国(反动派)国际武装集团提供资金。考虑到各种国家情况,特别关注这些趋势如何在墨西哥正在进行的“毒品战争”中形成。这篇文章假定禁止精神活性物质是加强国家和国家权力的物质手段。建议然后重兵实施禁令产生了超越物质管制的效果,包括现金经济建设,首先,现代全球资本的流动性支持,其次,在资助武装团体盟友(国际美国反动派)。本文分析了墨西哥的毒品战争趋势,并分析了这些趋势是如何演变的。
