Abstract

In this article we return to the issue of the conflict between
the two socialisms: the libertarian and the authoritarian, around
the state question, but extendable to other aspects such as social organization.
We will focus on the critique that Anarchism makes of Marxism
in terms of its theory of the State and its practical implications, returning
to the classic debate between Bakunin and Marx, to move on to
the libertarian analysis of the Russian Revolution and Marxist-Leninist
approaches, until the Latin American context and its current debates,
crossed by different “deconstructed” Marxisms. We are interested in rescuing
the long-standing anarchist critique to think about Latin America
today, marked by antisystemic struggles
