in the worldview of kirchner, the political world is divided in two halves, the people and those against the people, with the kirchners described as the saviors of the people. under this vision, the people are treated like a homogeneous group, with a unified collective will, that the leader interprets beyond the boundaries of parliaments and parties. argentine political theorist ernesto laclau considered this the perfect form of democracy. this division is used to justify the rejection of those described as being against the people, and to polarize the population. the problems caused by her policies, such as inflation, are always explained as the result of class conflict and imperialism.
