| description | We propose a reflection on the structural and conjunctural elements underlying the process of iron ore exploitation in Brazil, necessarily tied to world market dynamics. We deal with the intrinsically destructive character of value production in the capitalist system since its rise, reflecting on its expression in the context of the systemic structural crisis as the modus operandi of the sector’s production, which was expressed in the recent breakage of residue dams owned by Vale, BHP Billiton and their joint venture Samarco in Mariana and Brumadinho, Minas Gerais. Associated with this process, we examine the role of the PT governments from 2003 to 2014 as the implementation of an “efficient” management of barbarism, which made possible the creation of global players through the insertion of Brazil as an “emerging” economy of energy production for the global market. Finally, we examine the consequences for social movements as forms of resistance, emphasizing the difficulties posed by the election of the extreme right to direct the federal government. |

Propomos uma reflexão sobre elementos estruturais e conjunturais subjacentes ao processo de exploração de minério de ferro no Brasil, necessariamente articulado à dinâmica do mercado mundial. Tratamos do caráter intrinsecamente destrutivo da produção de valor no sistema capitalista desde seu surgimento, refletindo sobre sua expressão em contexto de crise estrutural sistêmica como modus operandi da produção do setor, que se expressou nos recentes rompimentos das barragens de rejeitos das corporações Vale, BHP Billinton e sua joint venture Samarco, em Mariana/MG e Brumadinho/MG. Examinamos o papel dos governos petistas de 2003 a 2014 como a efetivação de uma “eficiente” gestão da barbárie. Por fim, abordamos asas consequências para os movimentos sociais, especialmente depois da vitória da extrema-direita nas eleições presidenciais. 2020-01-02 2022-03-17T18:04:52Z 2022-03-17T18:04:52Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/ls/article/view/46682 10.23925/ls.v22i41.46682 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/50380 por https://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/ls/article/view/46682/pdf Copyright (c) 2018 Lutas Sociais application/pdf Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo Lutas Sociais; v. 22 n. 41 (2018): Crise, crime ambiental e resistências; 268-279 2526-3706 1415-854X 10.23925/ls.v22i41 |
