| Abstract | This paper realizes a systematization of the main arguments discussed by Mészáros in Chapter XVIII of his book Beyond Capital, on the failure of social democracy and the communist movement in the twentieth century and the nature of political power constituted under the command of capital. This chapter, the author examines both the failure of the proposed gradual reform of social democracy, as the reasons for the victory of reformist strategy at work, move from objective determinations of the capital system. For Mészáros, it was the dynamic expansion of capital, which had already been developing in the late nineteenth century, and was completed after the first seven decades of the twentieth century which enabled the victory of reformist strategy in the labor movement, allowing both the structuring of the State of Welfare. This assertion Mészáros, that the defensive achievements of work are associated with stages of progress of capital accumulation, became apparent in the 1970s with the emergence of the structural crisis of capital. The blocking of the dynamic expansion of capital caused the collapse of the State of Social Welfare, revealing the exhaustion phase of the achievements of the defensive work. The structural crisis of capital, and make viable the defensive struggles of labor, since it does not allow further expansion of political and social rights, endangers the very existence of the order sociometabólica capital. The structural crisis, according to Mészáros, generates the objective possibilities of the socialist offensive, namely the construction of an alternative material that challenges the power and political capital. However, says the author, for this, movement of work needs to overcome the disjuncture between economics and politics, the peculiar order of capital, and completely restructure both ways, as their instruments of struggle. These, then, the main problems of new phase of history. |
