Ideology, class struggle and fictitious capital: introduction to an ontological criticism

Abstract

It analyzes the relationship between ideology and class struggle, with an emphasis on the ideological processes of subjectivation established under the domination of fictitious capital and neoliberal irrationality ideologically established as “rationality”. It addresses the issue of class struggle under an ontological inflection of capitalist society, understood as a subject estranged from itself (alienated and alienating), based on Marxist value critique. It addresses class struggle not only in itself (as an object), but above all for itself, that is, from the ontological-dialectical perspective of the process of social formation of individuals as political class subjects, determined by the contradiction established between, on the one hand, the objective content of social relations and, on the other, the ways in which individuals experience this content in the social and political experience of class struggle in contemporary capitalism. The methodology used was bibliographic and documentary research.
