O conceito de política em Marx: análise de obras de 1843 a 1871

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to see how Karl Marx conceptualizes the Politics category in some of his works, following a time line that goes from the years 1843 until 1871. For this analysis, we chose the following texts: For the Jewish Question (1843), Marginal Glosses critical to the article "The King of Prussia and Social Reform, " a Prussian(1844), Manifesto of the Communist Party (Marx and Engels, 1848), The class struggles in France from 1848 to 1850 (1850), The 18 Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte (1852) and The Civil War in France (1871). The methodology used was literature search in the works cited, in keeping with the prologues of some of these works, from which they were removed information about the historic moment when Marx lived when he wrote those texts, in order to maintain a relationship between the lived context and concept developed by Marx. After doing the analysis, we concluded that the concept of politics in Marx appears linked to the state, denoting the institution whose task is to perpetuate the power of domination of capital over labor. It is necessary abolish the state to a radically new society, communist, can flourish.
