The Frustration of Karl Marx - Evaristo Alfredo Maússe - Bog

With this book the reader is invited to understand the participation of civil society in the political life of the state in the light of Marx's thought. Efforts are expanded to demonstrate that the Mozambican state is characterized by social and political exclusion and by a participation that is reduced to simple voting. Thus, it is urgent to analyze with the reader to what extent the theoretical resources of Marx's thought can be used to reflect the citizen's participation in the political life of the state. In this book, it is interesting to analyze the origin of the State and of Civil Society, and, finally, a reflection on the applicability of Marx's thought in Mozambique. From the analyses made, it was concluded that the State, according to Marx, is nothing more than an executive committee for the interests and businesses of the bourgeoisie. From this concept of the state, it follows that the participation of civil society in the political life of the state is, in a state conditioned by the bourgeois class, an essentially limited phenomenon.
