SUMMARY:

The thesis presented here aims to analyze the corrective actions of the State on the structural defects of capital control, based on the theoretical formulations of István Mészáros, in his work Beyond capital: towards a theory of transition. Therefore, the investigation was carried out from a Marxian-based historical materialist and dialectical approach, and its methodological procedure was a bibliographical research of a qualitative nature, through the technique of immanent text analysis. By analyzing the historical process of capital formation and its reproductive imperatives – as a social relationship – we identify the structural determinations that characterize the system as a socio-metabolic control. The interrelationship of the fundamental constituents of this system develops contradictions, which are established in an internally fragmented way and cause an absence of unity in the material basis of social reproduction. These are present in the dissonance between production and control; production and consumption; and production and circulation, which constitute the structural defects of system control and result from the uncontrollability of capital itself. For the continuation of the movement of expanded self-reproduction of capital, the socio-metabolic system demands, in addition to the control of the material base, a domain of political command that presents itself through the modern State and requires the assignment of a relationship of dialectical reciprocity between economy and politics. The State plays an essential role in remediating structural defects in the system's control through corrective actions. We evidence that, from the structural crisis of capital, the State is required to deepen its intervention in the material base of social reproduction, corroborating the greater dependence of capital on the help of its political command. With the support of the studied theorist, we emphasize that the constitution of the capital relationship prevents the resolution of problems and contradictions resulting from structural defects in the system's control and that these can only be eliminated as a consequence of a radical social revolution, which transforms the sociometabolism of way to surpass the capital. This can only be achieved through extra-parliamentary action aimed at putting socialism into practice, as an alternative to capital and its system of control.
