Abstract:
In this article we discuss, fundamentally, the limits of Ecuadorean “semi-proletarian” struggles,
based on the theoretical understanding that the actors organized around the Confederation
of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador (CONAIE) are not wholly subordinated to
capitalist expropriation. Therefore, they are not direct producers of value added. We understand
that without the joint protagonism of the more combative proletariat, through the revival
of its parties and unions, attempts at socialist transition tend to fail, as has occurred in some
instances.
