| Summary: | This articles estates that Marx’s historical works allows us to uphold that the political dimension is neither a “field” (of social struggles for strategic positions) nor a “system” (of functionally integrated institutions) and not even a “juridical-political structure”(apprehensible through its class effects in the social world). The political dimension of society may be conceived, by classical Marxism, as a “form” whose properties are similar to that of the commodity form. Consequently, practical politics can neither be apprehended nor analyzed as a social appearance, which makes the expression “political scene” very unsuitable to describe the way Marx understands the functioning of the political world. |
