RESUMO
The aim of this work is to discuss issues related to a transitional program of the proletariat of our time. From a Marxist standpoint, would a new program be necessary? Would a program that is new in relation to that proposed by Marx and Engels in the 19th century and put into practice by the Bolsheviks in the 1917 Russian Revolution be necessary? Would this 19th century and 1917 program have been overcome? As we know it, this original program is based on the Permanent Revolution theory and on the building of a duality of power, both previously exposed by Marx and Engels in the Address of the Central Committee to the Communist League (1850) and greatly experienced during the 1905 and 1917 Russian revolutions. However, would these conceptions still be valid after all throughout the 19th century and, mainly, in the western capitalist countries? In order to examine these questions carefully, we have chosen as our interlocutor the Marxist leader Antonio Gramsci for considering him a leading exponent in reformulating the classical program. One cannot deny the global impact that his works have produced, above all his maturity writings, known as the Prison Notebooks, to the point of Gramsci being considered by many critics the founder of a new theory of politics. The Prison Notebooks were deeply influenced by the Italian proletariat s defeat in its attempt to establish a duality of power in the country s main factories through factory councils. This defeat, along with the defeat of the proletariat in other countries, such as in Germany and Hungary, led Gramsci to start rethinking the revolutionary strategy to be applied in the developed countries of the West. In this research, we intend to interrogate the proposals of Gramsci s new program, in view of the grounds of the original program developed by Marx and Engels, as well as compare the positions of the Notebooks author in regards to forms of party organization before and after his imprisonment
