Sumario:Since the launching of Reencounter and Debate thirty years ago, the nature of world power has undergone profound and significant transformations. Questions have arisen regarding the crisis of “historical materialism” – the Eurocentric version of of Marx’s intellectual and political legacy, which misrepresented his theoretical proposals, converting them into a doctrine – and the crisis of bureaucratic despotism, called the “socialist camp.” This article intends to reconfigure some elements of the Mariateguian debate that are fundamental for the epistemological, theoretical and political renovation now occurring, confronting the current tendencies of world power and the alternative options of the dominated/exploited/repressed of the world.
