Abstract
The text aims to highlight some of the core aspects of the capitalist State, of political power and of the State apparatus, in order to discuss Nicos Poulantzas thesis regarding a “democratic road to socialism”. The presence of several governments qualified as popular or progressive, particularly numerous from the beginnings of 21st century in the region, motivates this discussion. The point is not to question the relevance of left-wing forces pursuing electoral triumphs and reaching significant positions within the State apparatus as part of their fights. The spirit is to adress the knots that those experiences face, in a context of weakness of the strategic debates in both regional and global left.
