The political left and mass movement in Latin America has taken up the task to develop theoretical and practical alternatives to neoliberal globalisation. The condition to re-launch the global class struggle is to strengthen the Venezuela-Cuba "axis" as well as the progressive states in the southern continent.

The capitalist character of market-based development is not determined by the presence of capitalist institutions and dispositions but by the relation of state power to capital. In the Ming and early Qing eras market-based development in China and throughout East Asia remained non-capitalist.

According to the author, the spread of the neoliberal agenda was the product of the now broken alliance between political and free-market liberals. The power of the emerging transnational class changes its form – proletarianization of the world population, de-legitimation of the state and parochialization of post-citizens – our pasts, ethnic or religious, are becoming our future now because categorical values, beliefs and loyalties are taking the place of the universalist modernisms gone awry.

The author shows in her writing that – contrary to many bourgeois interpretations – the Marxism of Sartre is not a negligible "disability" in his existentialism but integrant part of his thinking. The Marxism of Sartre becomes exactly fundamental in the humanism of his existentialism as the conscious and deliberate choice for responsibility of a human and intellectual. Thus the Marxists writings and thoughts of Sartre are not detours but in practice logical results of his oeuvre.

On the surface of our social experience we mostly meet phenomenon that were produced or ordered to be produced to manipulate us.
