CONSCIÊNCIA DE CLASSE NA REVOLUÇÃO PARAGUAIA: entre o fracasso luguista e o desvio epepista

Abstract

The twenty first century has brought a new historical debate about the future of the international socialist revolution. The New World Order emerged with the Cold War became the revolution an anomaly to the period of capitalist hegemony newly opened. Nevertheless, Latin America represented a new revolutionary flourish, with various forms of action, to achieve the goal of building a socialist system. This article discusses and makes notes about the revolutionary movement Paraguayan contemporary, using a theoretical approach based on the Leninist revolution. It examines the last two attempts left to trigger the Paraguayan revolution in the country, concluding that both lacked their driving force, class consciousness and its dissemination to the proletariat. Moreover, dogmatism characteristic of both organizations prevented lucid observation of objective reality of the current system, thereby using the most effective methods for socialist revolution. Such needs help in understanding the luguist failure, with the ouster of President Fernando Lugo and the increasing remoteness of the attempted armed guerrilla Ejercito del Pueblo Paraguayo (EPP) of clear prospects for consolidation, representing setbacks for the revolutionary movement historically constructed in Paraguay, by favoring the oligarchic counter-revolution.
