THE CRISIS OF MARXISM AND STALINISM: NOTES ON SOME PROPOSITIONS OF LOUIS ALTHUSSER– 1976-1978

The central theoretical problems and the practical problems in the history of labor movement, like the Stalinism, the Marxist crisis, the international crisis, and the possibility of revolution, are closely bound in the Althusser Thoughts. Those problems revolve around the relation between Politics, State and Party, and they fall upon the question of ideology effectiveness. We’ll try to see in which way these relations are articulated, based on the significant interventions belonging to the “transition’s writings”, between 1976 and 1978, with which Althusser has ruled about political questions.
