In Argentina in particular and in the Global South in general we can observe the emergence of a neo-religion of helplessness. A "new religion" for the dependent neocolonial countries to replace the ?already worn out- old trinity of the ?industrial religion? consistent of: unlimited production, absolute freedom and unrestricted happiness; with the trinity of the expelled composed by: mimetic consumption, solidarism and resignation (acceptance).
