Germinal : Marxismo e Educação em Debate (Aug 2010)
EDUCATION AND REVOLUTION
Abstract
“Men make their own history, but do not do according their free will, under circumstances chosen by themselves, but in the circumstances immediately found, given and transmitted from the past” (K. Marx, 2008, p. 207). It is in very precise circumstances that men make history today. And in the point of view of the deepest interests of the working class, this moment presents itself with a strong tendency to counter-revolutionary. The strong recovery of the revolutionary theory, which implies a critique of the past theoretical and practical distortions, is imperative to continue to support the historical and communist project and, at the same time, illuminate the paths of the future. How can education contribute to this? It´s about what we want to reflect in this text.
