A incessante e perversa essência do capital: apontamentos da investigação mészariana acerca da incontrolabilidade do sistema

Abstract

The incontrollability of capital is one of Mészáros thesis, which make up his analysis of the movement of capital in the contemporary times. Based upon the theoretical-methodological contribution of Marxian ontology, the study aims to analyse the main aspects of the uncontrollable essence of the system, aggravated amid the structural crisis of capital. In the inition period of its constitution as a system, it already presented itself as uncontrollable, and this uncontrollability was one of the most important factors to ensure the consolidation of its supremacy. One partially positive aspect in this uncontrollable character, for its absolute domination as metabolic system, if we might say so, was the overcoming of the drawbacks which came in its way, leading to the exercise of almost unrestricted power over the whole mankind. In the context of the ultimatum given to the capital through the clash with its absolute limits, the incontrolability takes a completely opposite meaning in comparison to that that made possible the liberation of capital from all the restraints that suppressed the flow of its imperatives. The dangerous and destructive dimension assumed by the incontrolability of capital today is far from positive, putting on the agenda the need for socialist offensive.
