CRIONI, Renato. Educação entre a teoria e a práxis: o legado de Marx diante da crise do capitalismo contemporâneo. Educ. Teoria Prática [online]. 2012, vol.22, n.39, pp.178-200. ISSN 1981-8106.

“The philosophers have only interpreted the world in various ways; the point is, however, to change it.” It was from the superficial premises of the 11th thesis on Feuerbach that Marx’s thought received its most distinguished exaltations and its hardest refutations. In the XX century stage, the Marxist “labeling” reached its apex with the labor movement and the actual socialism. However, in the twilight of the XX century, the unexpected collapse of the Soviet “state capitalism” model paralyzed the left’s thought and the Marxist capitalist criticism, which remained, at most, as a defensive nostalgic claim. But Marx himself conceived his political economy criticism as a reflection surpassing its practical applicability. If this aspect of the categorical criticism of capitalism shows up, on one hand, as something freezing action, on the other, it shows up suitable to interpret the global crisis which it triggers. At the same time that it disassembles the current hegemonic discourse of progress, efficiency, and productivity, it opens space for a perspective of educative experience appreciating the sensitive vital relations, the arts, and the idle culture, imputed as superfluous and put at the service of the omnipresent coercion of abstract wealth production.
