Desenvolvo, neste artigo, os principais conceitos e categorias de analise que, articulados, fundamentam a teoria de Meszaros, segundo a qual o capitalismo estaria, desde os anos 1970, em “crise estrutural”. Dentre tais conceitos, destaca-se o de “linha de menor resistencia”, o de “ativacao dos limites absolutos do capital”, o de “producao destrutiva” e o de “taxa de utilizacao decrescente”, alem do conceito de “incontrolabilidade ontologica do capital”. Ao tematizar a crise estrutural em Meszaros, acabo por estabelecer um dialogo oculto com outro teorico da crise estrutural, Robert Kurz. Palavras-chave: capital; capitalismo; crise; crise estrutural; producao destrutiva. DOI: 10.12957/rep.2016.25393 Abstract ‒ In this article, I present the main concepts and categories of analysis that, articulated, underlie Meszaros’ theory that capitalism could be, since the 1970s, in “structural crisis”. Among these concepts, it is highlighted the “line of least resistance”, the “activation of the absolute limits of capital”, the “destructive production”, the “decreasing utilization rate”, and the concept of “ontological uncontrollability of capital”. By developing the theme of structural crisis in Meszaros, I end up establishing a hidden dialogue with another theorist of the structural crisis, Robert Kurz. Keywords: capital; capitalism; crisis; structural crisis; destructive production.
