ABSTRACT

This thesis aims to analyze the relationship between the State and expropriations in the capitalist
system, explaining its foundations and current expressions. To make it possible, from a
theoretical-methodological point of view, an investigation was carried out in bibliographic
sources, resorting to classic and contemporary authors affected by the materialist ontological
perspective, and in documents published by official bodies and institutions. The guiding thread
of the reflection that follows apprehends that all state configurations known to date, as
historical-social creations, are inseparable from the expropriation of collectively produced and
privately appropriated wealth to sustain domination and the particular interests of a class,
unleashing a web of conflicts, clashes and resistances. In the course of the exposition, it is
argued that the State, in the variety of ways in which it organizes itself, acts in the field of class
struggle in order to facilitate, stimulate and legitimize the expropriations that constitute a
condition for the existence and reproduction of capital, guaranteeing the a minority the social
monopoly of modern private property. The research highlights the expropriation processes
connected to the “passionate hunt for value” and the complementarity of the State to the
sociometabolism of capital; when approaching expropriations as a permanent product of the
current society, it points out the state mechanisms appealed to preserve and recreate them in
determined historical circumstances; presents the repercussions of expropriations that, with the
direct or indirect mediation of the State, negatively affect the daily lives of thousands of
individuals in different regions of the world; demonstrates, using reflections and data collected
in books, articles, reports and news, the expropriations that are intensified, generalized and
become more complex in the context of the structural crisis of capital, the hegemony of finance
and state intervention in neoliberal molds , encompassing a multiplicity of objects potentially
expropriated by capital: livelihoods, natural elements, social and labor rights, protected work,
public funds, the salary of workers contracting with the consigned credit modality, free time,
urban areas, artistic, archaeological, landscape and culture, rural populations, indigenous and
quilombola lands, the subjectivity of workers, etc. The appreciation of the material studied
showed that the different expropriations materialized in capitalism, with the full support of the
State, occur in the past and in the present in tune with the self-expanding needs of capital,
diversifying the accumulation strategies and expanding the spaces of valorization.
