RESUMO
We present the work of Marx intituled Grundrisse, written in 1857-1858, as a "Social Manifesto" which sets out the points of a programme to be implemented by a society to replace the capitalist mode of production, the communism. The Grundrisse would be a programme drawn up by Marx to guide the struggle of the working class as a program of the revolution. Marx hoped that the financial crisis of 1857 to become a world crisis, which could make it brings a revolution, as occurred in 1848. The Grundrisse would a triple task: criticism of proudhonist socialism, which sought to reform the market to eliminate the exploitation; analysis of the foundations of the capitalist system, its pillars of support; proposition of the constituent elements of communist society. To perform these tasks, Marx also examines the functioning of societies before domination of the capital. We present the analysis in the first chapter of Roman Rosdolsky and Antonio Negri on the role played by Grundrisse. Rosdolsky defends the idea that this work is a path towards The Capital, something that would be shown by the plans of Marx for the creation of his work. Negri comprises the Grundrisse as work of antagonism and anti-capitalism. We affirm that the Grundrisse is a program for the revolution and is not above or below The Capital, and only because they are distinct in language at different times of revolutionary struggle, and those would have a language of social manifesto for the fight, because this would be the scientific demonstration - in the design of new science in Marx - of criticism of political economy. Here, we demonstrate that Marx still devotes special attention to the fight against the principles of opportunistic proudhonism, who sought to keep the society s commodity and market. The second chapter expose the dialectic method of Marx developed at the "Introduction" of 1857, deleted text by Marx, but, he said, explained the foundations of their science. In the third chapter expose the principles of the societies prior to capitalism, the "principles of the past", their foundations, in a game dialectic of positive and negative, between what should be maintained by communism and what should be avoided. In the fourth and fifth chapters expose the "principles of the present", society dominated by capital, by category of money (the fourth chapter). We present these to be extirpated the reasons for the struggle of working class, the elements that define the specific nature of capitalist society. Finally, the fifth chapter presents the "principles of the future," the program of the revolution for the construction of communist society. This is the focus of our work: trying to prove that Marx seeks to give guidance to the struggles of the working class so that it can eradicate the capitalist society, and that eradication could only be effected with a correct program and that destroy the foundations of social and economic society of the market. The Grundrisse, in performing this role, would become a manifesto for revolution, a new communist manifesto a "social manifesto" by a society of the future.
