Revolution and counterrevolution in the capitalist vanguard of barbarism

Abstract

This essay aims to point out some central aspects for the necessary debate on issues related to the complex processes of revolution and counterrevolution in contemporary capitalism and for the necessary taking of a position and political action. Our reflection goes through the historical dialectic of the capitalist world in structural crisis until arriving with special attention to the Brazilian particularity. In this sense, imperialism, counterrevolution, and all its consequences gain a special dimension. They are the objects of our reflection insofar as both the economic processes of structural historical subordination and the ideological processes, adapted or elaborated in the Brazilian particularity, are determinant phenomenons in the process of capital accumulation, revolution, and counter-revolution in Brazil. We also highlighted in the paper the limits of socialist revolutions, which in the process, were abandoning the radical precept of the communist revolution defended by Marx and Engels, to be incorporated by capital. To complete our reflection, we weave, by way of final considerations, an analisys on the dilemmas of political and social contradictions in the heart of the counterrevolution process and the tasks of revolutionaries these days.
