Abstract

In the winding course of its history, Brazil has not known revolutions. At least true rapid and effective changes of structures. After all, Karl Marx did not usually imagine revolution as a phenomenon of “backward” or colonial countries. On the contrary, it would be produced preferentially by a broad factory proletariat in industrialized countries. However, the 20th century reversed that formula and saw revolutions triumph, without exception, outside Western Europe.
This situation brought a serious problem for the Marxists who acted outside that developed part of the Old World: the supposed transplantation of a theory thought in the “advanced” reality to a peripheral reality.
