EDUCAÇÃO, ULTRACONSERVADORISMO E RESISTÊNCIA: perversão capitalista, criminalização, repressão, proibicionismo e o que fazer?
Abstract
In the present study, based on a bibliographic analysis centered on the Marxist framework, we seek as a general objective to understand the functionality of formal education orchestrated by the capitalist mode of production. Specifically, we analyze the State's role in criminalizing and repressing the struggles that have taken place in education in the last decade, as well as addressing the prohibitionism behind the actions of the organization "school without a party" that is aligned with the ultra-conservatism present in the government's proposals extreme right wing in Brazil. Finally, we present some suggestive ideas on what to do to face the obscurantism that has recently spread in Brazilian education and in the main body responsible for the application of institutionalized educational policy, the Ministry of Education – MEC.
