The purpose of the study is to determine the influence of right-wing radical ideologies on political processes in South America. Right-wing radicalism has a long history of presence in the political reality of South American states. Having gone a long way from the usual ideas and concepts of the continental elites to the organization of right-wing radical political forces, right-wing ideologemes have become entrenched in the public consciousness of the societies of South American countries. We relied on a synthesized approach to the "ideologeme" through the concept of the morphology of ideologies by M. Frieden and the theories of "de-ideologi­zation" by D. Bell and S. Lipset. Methods of regional and binary synchronous comparison ma­de it possible to establish indicators of the influence of right-wing radical ideologemes, as well as to record similarities and the most significant differences in individual country cases. An analysis of the structure and state of the party systems of the states of the region made it pos­sible to determine the degree of influence of right-wing radical ideologies on the political pro­cesses. Among the most significant causes of ideological radicalization in South America, we have identified cultural, historical, and socio-economic factors.

The avalanche-like nature of information flows has led today to the destructuring of all communication links in the world. Political communications under these conditions look more and more like channels with expanding "black boxes" and improperly used "white noise". The purpose of this analysis is to identify the specifics of political communication under conditions of international bifurcations. The methodology of the analysis is based on the symbiosis of modern theories: mathematical modeling of communication by C. Shannon and W. Weaver, political cybernetics by D. Easton, political communication by D. J. Lilleker and P. Lazarsfeld, crisis communication by R. Ulmer, T. Sellnau and M. Seager, and game theory with opposing interests. According to the results of the analysis the specific characteristics of modern political communication are distinguished: its technological (not process) character, non-classical interaction of the communicator and the communicant in it, the transformation of the communicant into a "black box", and the manipulative attitude to the communicator. It is possible to draw a basic conclusion about the transformation of classical political com­munications from the process of information transfer into the technology of mutual in­te­raction of its participants in a manipulative format for political decision-making.
