BRAZILIAN REVOLUTION STARTS FOR WORK
Those who produce the wealth of Brazil must have a voice about their destiny
When we speak of Brazilian revolution, we often think first of governments, elections or major historical events. But there is one point that is present in virtually all society: Work.
It is workers who produce goods, build cities, transport products, grow food, provide services and keep the economy running.
But one question remains:
If the worker produces wealth, why does he have so little control over it?
Who produces?
In capitalism, most workers do not have the means to produce on their own. To survive, you sell your workforce in exchange for a salary.
The company, on the other hand, uses this work to produce goods and services that will be sold on the market.
The result is a fundamental relationship of the system: who works produces value, while the owner controls the company and receives the profits.
For Marxist tradition, this difference is at the heart of capitalist exploitation.
Brazil produces wealth — but for whom?
The problem is not simply the existence of wealth.
Brazil has huge natural resources, productive capacity, land, industries and millions of workers.
The point is... how this wealth is distributed and who has control over its production.
An economy can grow as part of the population continues to face difficulties. Economic growth alone does not guarantee that the fruits of this growth are distributed equally.
So the revolutionary question should not just be:
“How to produce more?”
We also need to ask:
“Who do we produce for?”
Work as a starting point
A revolutionary transformation of society would need to place the interests of the working majority at the heart of economic and political decisions.
This means discussing who controls companies, natural resources, the financial system and major economic decisions.
It's not just about exchanging people in government.
It's about questioning. economic relations that determine who has wealth and power.
A Brazilian Revolution
The Brazilian reality has its own characteristics and contradictions. Therefore, a social transformation in Brazil needs to start from the Brazilian reality: its inequality, its economic structure, its history and its working class.
Revolution can't just be a beautiful word.
It needs to mean a concrete transformation in people's lives.
More popular participation.
More control over the economy.
More power for those who work.
Less concentration of wealth and power.
The wealth produced by the people must serve the people.
A Communist Resistance argues that any deep transformation project in Brazil needs to start with those who keep the country running every day: workers.
Because if they produce wealth, they must also have a voice about what is produced, how it is produced and for whom this wealth serves.
