O duplo caráter do direito à existência: luta de classes e articulação estrutural das contrarreformas sociais, políticas e ambientais

Abstract

The article seeks, based on the Marxist tradition and since the suggestion made by Daniel Bensaïd, to highlight the double character of the Right to Existence, this characterized as a safeguard for the reproduction of life and as a mediation for the political affirmation of the working classes and oppressed sectors of society. Looking at the contemporary Brazilian reality, having an eminently theoretical character and based on the materialist-historical method, it demonstrates how the counter-reforms directed at social rights keep structural articulation with the attacks directed at the environment, claiming the same opposition of social movements in their task by the assumption of ecological flags.
