Revolution and history: from Theses to Manifesto
In the last century, the advance of neoliberalism and post-positivism not only produced misery from an economic point of view, but reinforced a typically Stalinist stigma surrounding Marx's work: “outdated”. This stigma permeates many readings that, in general, start from a mechanical division...

| description | In the last century, the advance of neoliberalism and post-positivism not only produced misery from an economic point of view, but reinforced a typically Stalinist stigma surrounding Marx's work: “outdated”. This stigma permeates many readings that, in general, start from a mechanical division of the work: on the one hand, the “young” Marx – the one with concepts that are not very precise and, especially, “immature”, with all the load of evolutionary prejudices that the expression can hold. On the other, the “old man”, whose reflection has been undermined by history and which can be read in the same way as one admires a spinning wheel in a museum. Because this enemy to be execrated and already declared dead (along with history) is still very much alive and, as indicated by the increase in sales of Capital in Germany, is being read again. His name can also be heard in street demonstrations – such as Occupy Wall Street. Capital, however, despite its evident importance, is far from expressing the richness of the Marxist reading of reality and, notably, the clarity of its conception of the forms of domination and the trends in the history of class struggle. |

No último século, o avanço do neoliberalismo e do pós-positivismo produziu não apenas miséria do ponto de vista econômico, mas reforçou um estigma tipicamente stalinista acerca da obra de Marx: “ultrapassada”. Tal estigma impregna muitas leituras que, em geral, partem de uma divisão mecânica da obra: de um lado, o “jovem” Marx – aquele com conceitos pouco precisos e, especialmente, “imaturo”, com toda carga de preconceitos evolucionistas que a expressão pode comportar. De outro, o “velho”, cuja reflexão foi solapada pela história e que pode ser lido da mesma forma como se admira uma roca em um museu. Pois esse inimigo a ser execrado e já declarado morto (juntamente com a história) continua muito vivo e, ao que indica a elevação das vendas de O capital na Alemanha, está sendo lido novamente. Seu nome também pode ser ouvido em manifestações de rua – como em Ocuppy Wall Street. O capital, entretanto, a despeito de sua evidente importância, está longe de expressar a riqueza da leitura marxista sobre a realidade e, notadamente, a clareza de sua concepção sobre as formas de dominação e as tendências da história da luta de classes.
