A crise e as políticas estatais de combate a queda da taxa de lucro nos governos Lula e Dilma

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the fight against the fall in the rate of profit via public policies in the Lula and Dilma government. From a methodological point of view, dialectical historical materialism was used. As for the approach to the object, qualitative research was used based on secondary bibliographic references. As a result, it could be observed, in the context of the analyzed crisis, that the anti-cyclical policies to combat the fall in the rate of profit were efficient in the Lula government, but in the Dilma government this did not happen. This was due to circumstantial issues in Brazil and structural issues of the capitalist system that is managing its own crises. The overcoming of contradictions and other problems that arise in capitalism does not occur at the level of appearance through the government, as well as the use of public policies, much less by the State at the level of essence, as the State is a nodal moment of contradictions in dynamics of capitalist accumulation. The resolution of the contradictions that arise in the capitalist mode of production requires the radical overcoming of the current state of affairs via the proletarian revolution, and in this process the working class must unite around a common interest: the emancipation of all forms of exploitation , domination and humiliation, which pervade socioeconomic relations in capitalism.
