Iñigo Carrera, J. (2014c). Being a Marxist or objectively recognizing one’s own political subjectivity through the dialectical method discovered by Marx. Presented at VII Jornadas de Economía Crítica, Universidad Nacional de La Plata.

ABSTRACT

Marxism is marked by the debate between “true Marxism” and “false Marxism”. This debate arises from the interpretative character of Marxism and, therefore, the impossibility of its objective resolution is inherent to it. But the real question, from the point of view of the political action of the working class capable of surpassing the capitalist mode of production in an organisation of social life in which the free consciousness constitutes the general social relation, carries in itself the overcoming of “interpretation” itself. The scientific method is not a natural existence; Is itself a historically determined social form. Thus, the logical representation, the conceptual systems, are the proper form of a consciousness alienated in the capital that, at the same time that it needs to know objectively, it can not do it with respect to itself. That is why the “the reproduction of the concrete by means of thought” discovered by Marx is opposed to logical representation as the scientific method historically proper to the working class as a revolutionary subject.
