This text deals the relationship between the occurrence of the capitalist crisis, the predicament in the reproduction of private property and state intervention as an agent countercyclical deficit and public debt amplification. In other words, we analyze the occurrence of the capitalist crisis of 1929 and the Depression of the 30s, the introduction of Keynesian policy and military spending, which led to capitalist recovery and defined bases of so-called "thirly glorious years" of the postwar period. Then we highlight the return of the crisis in the mid 70s, the introduction of neoliberalism to the occurrence of the global capitalist crisis of 2008 and the return of state intervention in saving large companies and banks. Finally, we affirm that state intervention to try to overcome this crisis ends by amplify it furlher, besides expand the debt, deteriorating more and more the Iiving conditions of the working class. For this reason we defend, neither capitalist restoration or public debt. For an anti-capitalist resort.
