This term, apparently contradictory, was used as the motto of the Feminist Movement in the so-called Chilean rebellion, bringing, in essence, two meanings. The expansion of a strictly feminist agenda to a transversal agenda of the Feminist Movement in that Latin American country, as well as building the proposal of a political agenda for the coming decades, preferably surpassing the scope of neoliberalism. Three major social movements stood out during that rebellion, among them the Feminist Movement, one of the most active.

From one of them, including the Student Movement, emerged the current President Gabriel Boric. As in Brazil, in Chile the political rope is very tight between conservative forces and progressive sectors of society. The French philosopher, Pierre Dardot, who closely followed those popular mobilizations, as he was teaching classes at Chilean universities during those episodes, today makes some critical considerations of the current president's stance, accusing him of systematic retreats in these clashes.

The professor's premise is that the more you give in to the right, they advance, never being satisfied. Brazil faces a very similar situation, with agribusiness grinding its gear against the Government of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, sometimes infringing on defeats in important agendas in the Legislative, sometimes making a hell of a noise in CPI's under its control, as is the case of the MST's CPI. Things are so complicated that even parties or parliamentarians from the allied base, with positions in the machine, are supporting proposals to impeach President Lula. A relationship that had not been going well since the campaign, today it just gets complicated, producing political complications that the Government needs to be very aware of. As the professor warns, the right will never be satisfied. If the ruler retreats, they advance, as is happening in Chile.
