The present work aims to analyze the contributions of Álvaro García Linera to Latin American political theory, focusing on the concepts of State and transition. For this, the Althusserian idea of ...“Marxism as a finite theory” is taken as a starting point, that is, the incompleteness of Marxist theory, and therefore, the need to update its categories in the light of historical transformations. At the same time, some theoretical background is presented in which the works of the Vice President of Bolivia are highlighted, among which we highlight mainly the Chilean-German author Norbert Lechner and the Bolivian thinker René Zavaleta Mercado. Those concepts of García Linera in which we will focus on the pages of this work will be those of state two-dimensionality, point(s) of bifurcation and creative tensions.

Eagleton explores the work of Swedish sociologist Gran Therborn, who has developed a series of arguments on global politics and the changing aims of the left. Therborn argues that the industrial age ...was governed by grand dialectics, but the contemporary period does not have the same binary structure. He suggests that perpetual crisis will likely determine the terrain of struggle in the coming years, and Marxism's status in the new reality is less certain. However, by drawing on left social thought, we can still map the existing politicaleconomic landscape and identify new masses that could transform it. Therborn's work has evolved over time, reflecting the recession of socialist prospects and a more sober and reflective tone. Eagleton concludes by discussing Therborn's assessment of the new century's left movements and the challenges they face in a post-dialectical age.

Lenin w Anglii to słynny tekst Trontiego otwierający pierwszy numer czasopisma „Classe operaia, założonego po tym, jak Tronti wraz ze współpracownikami zerwał ze środowiskiem pierwszego operaizmu ...skupionego wokół Quaderni Rossi. To właśnie w tym tekście Tronti sformułował słynny „kopernikański zwrot w marksizmie”, zgodnie z którym punktem wyjścia analizy rzeczywistości społecznej i historii kapitalizmu powinna być walka klasy robotniczej, a nie prawa rozwoju kapitału. Do zdefiniowania zwrotu popchnęła Trontiego przedstawiona w tekście diagnoza sytuacji włoskiej klasy robotniczej w latach 60. Kontrowersyjne tezy Trontiego i jego radykalna postawa wpłynęły znacząco na dyskusje prowadzone na radykalnej włoskiej lewicy i na działania wielu aktywistów w latach 60. i 70.
Marx undertook a thorough study on capitalist society; however, at present his contribution to understanding this society has been questioned, mainly due the collapse of real socialism. This article ...supports the theory that the objective of Marx's work was to understand capitalist society and its functioning. Even current topics such as environmental issues, the main object of this article, can be debated through the guidelines of the critical-dialectical thought. Nature has been a target of the most varied speeches. Sustainability, of which the discussion is promoted by the UN, aims to guide the social processes that fight the current environmental devastation. This paper will examine this argument and propose challenges, supported in the mentioned author.

Sin programa ni proyecto, sin mayores indicaciones ni definiciones claras en esa dirección, hay una ontología en Marx. Dicha hipótesis no es original ni mucho menos. Con todo, es significativo que a ...lo largo de la rica historia interpretativa que desde hace un siglo y medio se despliega en torno a Marx, la cuestión ontológica ocupe un lugar tan reducido y sin duda marginal. Para ello hay razones más o menos evidentes y otras que no lo son tanto.

Mesmo temas tao atuais como a questao ambiental, objeto principal deste artigo, podem ser debatidos a partir dos fios condutores do pensamento critico-dialetico. A natureza tem sido alvo dos mais variados discursos e a sustentabilidade, discussao fomentada pela ONU, visa dar um norte aos processos sociais para o combate a devastacao ambiental em curso. Entretanto, este trabalho analisara esse discurso e ainda lancara desafios amparados no autor mencionado.Palavras-chave: marxismo; sustentabilidade; natureza; capital e trabalho.
