O estado burguês, o capital em crise estrutural e a alternativa fracassada do reformismo

Abstract

The legal and political superstructure maintains a dialectical relationship with the economy, in the various modes of sociability. It is from this concrete basis that the State arises and has, historically, constituted itself. Even though it has its own essence, the State assumes specific functions throughout the evolution and development of societies split into social classes. In the course of its economic crises, the capitalist system has been seeking alternatives in an attempt to circumvent the trend fall in the rate of profit. In this sense, this work is a bibliographical study, based on historical-materialist ontology, that intends to analyze the bourgeois state and its responses to capital in structural crisis, giving special emphasis to the failed reformist alternative. For this, the article had as its main theoretical contribution the contributions of Marx (2013), Netto; Braz (2011), Mészáros (2002, 2007), among others.
