Abstract: The current crisis of capitalism did not originate with COVID-19, but has been brewing for several years. It is a systemic crisis with multiple dimensions: it is expressed politically in the ungovernability of nation states, their inability to exercise economic control, and their subordination to the needs of large transnational conglomerates and their dependence on them; economically, in the exhaustion of financialized neoliberalism and the savage exploitation of the workforce under cruel modalities of labor flexibility and precariousness at the local and global levels; environmentally, in the pollution, plundering, and devastation of natural resources that have led to climate change consequences that are tending toward global collapse. For example, in the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, the industrial food and agricultural systems have played a key role, as has deforestation (Ribeiro, 2020).
