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.

What will it take to change the future? Towards the end of Specters of Marx, Derrida argues that to create a more ethical future, we need questions that bring “representation back to the world of ...labor.” But, he continues, “they are not even, in the final analysis, questions but seismic events. Practical events, where thought becomes act, and body and manual experience ...
To analyse the processes of development of Marxist philosophical and socio-political doctrine in China in the second half of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries; to systematically ...reconstruct the peculiarities of the interpretation of its axiomatics by modern Chinese researchers; to determine the main trends, goals and objectives of modernization and Chineseization of Marxism in the People’s Republic of China; to reveal the attributive features of the ideological, theoretical, methodological and ideological foundations of those innovative approaches and narratives for the renewal of Marxist philosophy and social studies, which are offered by representatives of the modern scientific community of Chinese philosophers, political scientists, historians and may become paradigmatic in this century. The main research methods were systemic, structural-functional, comparative, discursive, content analysis, and prescriptions of the general scientific principles of Scientism and Historicism. Based on the analysis of the publications of modern Chinese, Ukrainian and Russian researchers, theoretical reconstruction of the specifics of the development of Marxist philosophical and socio-political doctrine in China in the second half of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries is proposed; the influence of objective and subjective factors on them is characterized. Among them, the greatest attention was paid to the conceptual reflection of how the needs for the fundamental and large-scale modernization of Chinese society necessitated the revision and updating of the diamat-istmat version of Marxism, which, by the early 1960s, had become conservative, orthodox and scholastic, turned into a paradigm in the scientific environment of Soviet-style states, and into metanarrative in the political system of the People’s Republic of China (as well as in the USSR). The author provides a generalized analytical assessment of alternative options for updating the model of Marxist philosophy and the complex of socio-political sciences that are dominant in the People’s Republic of China; the reasons and internal logic of their modernization are revealed on the basis of which the permissible and possible directions, prospects, and limits of ideological, theoretical-methodological and ideological reforming of Marxism in China are determined.

El estudio del comunismo y del marxismo en México ha experimentado recientemente una revaloración; sin embargo, los comunismos locales, las corrientes alternas e incluso los intelectuales y ...militantes siguen en espera de análisis académicos. En ese sentido, este artículo se enfoca en una etapa de la vida y obra de José Revueltas en función de la vertiente del comunismo nacional que él mismo fundó: el espartaquismo. Pretendo analizar la “etapa espartaquista” del escritor, es decir, la actividad teórica y política que realizó a finales de la década de 1950 e inicios de la siguiente. Aquí, argumento que la lectura que Revueltas efectuó sobre algunos acontecimientos de relevancia política del periodo y su propia experiencia como comunista orientaron su ideario en contra del comunismo estalinista, razones que lo impulsaron a fundar el espartaquismo.
