    Abstract

    This paper seeks to consider theoretically the problem of alternative paths to the current crisis of left policies in Latin America, with special reference to the Brazilian experience. Its starting point is the ideological shift to the right in civil society, that is, in public opinion and social mobilizations, that rolled back to state authoritarianism and policies of savage neoliberalism. All this poses various theoretical and political problems in order to create the conditions to policies for real reforms that would allow Latin American societies to intervene actively in the confrontation of the organic crisis of capitalism and State.
