“…For Pradella (2014), as we have seen, Marx describes a permanent history of violence in the global process of accumulation. In developing research on the notion of expropriation, Fontes (2010; 2017) follows a similar line of argument by seeking in the work of Marx itself the roots for a critique of the reformulated concept of primitive accumulation based on Luxemburg’s work.…”

“…Fontes argues that Luxemburg’s thesis – that capitalist development requires a non-capitalist exterior – may be attentive to certain relevant aspects at the beginning of the twentieth century, but it is also problematic. First, it obfuscates the understanding of the internal dynamic of capitalist expansion itself as a process that aggravates the conditions of its own social base (Fontes, 2017: 2205, 2208). Moreover, this difficulty is exacerbated by the fact that the imperialist expansion of capitalism significantly reduced the so-called external borders of accumulation in the course of the twentieth century.…”

“…For Fontes (2017: 2201 ff), the idea of continued primitive accumulation, particularly the way Harvey reformulates it, runs into at least three problems in the face of such a transformation: (1) the lack of empirical plausibility on account of the creation of a global market and the globalization of capitalism; (2) dualist reductionism between a normalized capitalism and a predatory capitalism; and (3) the reproduction of a teleology of modernization which, contained in the conceptual construction of an ‘exterior’, reproduces a dichotomy between (normalized) capitalist and (primitive) non-capitalist countries. The main problem with this thesis of externality is thus the attribution of a dual character to capitalist accumulation, its result being to imbue a different ‘quality’ to the (supposed) two forms of accumulation.…”

“…The main problem with this thesis of externality is thus the attribution of a dual character to capitalist accumulation, its result being to imbue a different ‘quality’ to the (supposed) two forms of accumulation. On the one hand, the broadened (more advanced) economic duress which, though subject to crises, would be based on ‘free’ workers; on the other hand, the open and archaic violence of primitive accumulation (Fontes, 2017: 2205).…”

From primitive accumulation to entangled accumulation: Decentring Marxist Theory of capitalist expansion

During the last few decades, the concept of primitive accumulation ( ursprüngliche Akkumulation) introduced by Karl Marx and expanded by Rosa Luxemburg has been revived and improved. Accordingly, scholars have used this framework not to characterize a past moment in the history of capitalism, but to grasp the continuous process of coupling and uncoupling geographical and social spheres in the capital accumulation in different fields: financialization, the care economy, green grabbing, the sharing economy, real estate bubbles, data mining, etc. Despite the quality and productivity of these debates, they are still focused on authors and phenomena observed in the Global North, ignoring a long tradition of similar discussions developed especially in Latin America. The article seeks to decentre these debates by taking seriously into account approaches which address primitive accumulation from the perspective of (post)colonial and (post)slave societies. It coins the concept entangled accumulation to emphasize the interdependencies between practices of exploitation and expropriation, wage and slave labour, state power and illegal violence, and capitalist and non-capitalist economies, which have shaped capital accumulation throughout history.

“…Nesse caso, parece-nos que um dos diálogos principais a ser realizado deve ser com a teoria marxista da dependência 9 , que expõe cristalinamente como a troca desigual entre centro e periferia culmina na superexploração da classe trabalhadora e das maiorias periféricas, cujo mais-valor é transferido aos grandes centros do capitalismo mundial (MARINI, 2008, p. 121-124 e CARCANHOLO, 2008. Inclusive, o próprio resgate teórico de noções como as de espoliação (HARVEY, 2003) e de expropriação (FONTES, 2017) parecem muito relevantes para pensar como os ajustes neoliberais implicam a espoliação de direitos sociais e trabalhistas (BRAGA, 2017, p. 247-248).…”

1584 hristian Laval, professor de sociologia na Universidade Paris Nanterre, e Pierre Dardot, filósofo e professor na mesma instituição, formulam em A nova razão do mundo uma proposta de releitura do fenômeno neoliberal, a fim de reagir à sensação de que o pensamento crítico falhou na tarefa de compreender o seu inimigo. Ou seja, "a esquerda ainda não entendeu o que é o neoliberalismo, e está pagando um preço altíssimo por isso" (LAVAL, 2016). C Rev. Direito Práx., Rio de Janeiro, 1585 extensa revisão bibliográfica e análise documental, que inclui desde obras clássicas do receituário liberal (como as de Locke e Bentham, por exemplo) a programas políticos da esquerda neoliberal (como os da terceira via britânica). Assim, na primeira parte ("A refundação intelectual"), a trajetória do livro Rev. Direito Práx., Rio de Janeiro, 1591 neoliberalismo na realidade brasileira 10 . No fim das contas, a racionalidade neoliberal não necessariamente abre mão do uso da retórica dos direitos humanos: realiza-se a cooptação dessa linguagem para se adequar às noções neoliberais de sociedade nacional regida pela concorrência generalizada entre indivíduos-empresa e de comunidade internacional organizada a partir da competição entre Estados-empresa.Rev.

Fiscal expropriation in Turkey under the rule of Erdoğan

This work signifies an attempt to elaborate on the concrete workings of fiscal policy in today’s Turkey through the notion of primitive accumulation. The subject matter is a political regime that constitutes itself increasingly through coercion. And to understand the political regime’s constitution in its wholeness, its concrete existence in its relations with the economic life surrounding it, primitive accumulation – the notion that construes coercion as an economic power – is necessary. Furthermore, since the notion of class struggle is inherent to primitive accumulation, the latter notion also elicits to reflect on the formation of the state as it hinges on the class society. The notion of primitive accumulation reveals the class power that the state predicates and the concrete ends that this predicate sights. Political coercion can’t be comprehended separately from the capitalist accumulation, and in the case of Turkey, their unity finds expression most clearly in the practices of fiscal expropriation. Throughout the work, fiscal expropriation is examined through three specific forms it takes: the unity of over-taxation with growing indebtedness of the state, public procurement regime, and public–private partnerships. All of them signify the proletarianisation and further impoverishment of the people just as in the era when Karl Marx has drawn up the notion of primitive accumulation.
