Abstract

Faced with the pandemic scenario, the contradictions of capitalist society become increasingly evident. In this sense, it seems important to take a close look at the different ways of behaving in the face of this war between the classes, so that we are not just a mass of "soldiers" used for the benefit of a small portion of generals. Thus, we are interested in turning to the great theorists of wars and martial arts to learn how to defend ourselves and attack the enemies that stand before us. This article, therefore, aims to not only present some concepts that help us to understand the “battlefield”, but to arm ourselves to intervene in it. Since there is a scenario in front of us where traditional actions no longer point the way out, an innovative, radical, revolutionary reaction is necessary.
