Da consciência de classe para a consciência revolucionária: considerações sobre atuais reivindicações de esquerda

Abstract

The present essay analyzes, from the Marxist perspective, the current guidelines that converge to leftist political thought, seeking to contribute to the composition of a political agenda that unifies the demands that are tuned to the prospective of a society that overcomes the contradictions of capitalist society. In this way, it approaches the understanding of social classes and the consequent class struggle, considering the current metamorphoses of the working class, but reaffirming its protagonism as a revolutionary class and the necessary construction of class consciousness. From then on, the discussion extends to social issues of gender, ethnicity, sexuality and the environment, demonstrating that the subversion of capitalism is a pressing necessity for the consummation of these questions, proposing the construction of a revolutionary consciousness.
