State, authoritarianism and class struggle

Abstract

The set of articles published in this issue of Revista Katálysis are embedded in the relations among state, authoritarianism, and class struggle. It is a timely and necessary combination of articles to reflect on the current concerns and challenges. The articles have a strong connection with pulsating realities in different parts of the world, focusing on dimensions and trends that face the understanding of contemporary capitalism and its living forms of barbarism. From the point of view of the Latin American continent, the texts resume the socio-historical, economic, political, and cultural determinations that characterize the dependent nature of the particular processes at the origin of contemporary capitalism, drawing attention to the references that find its criticism in the totality of social life.
