Abstract

LATIN AMERICAN SOCIAL SCIENTISTS WITH A PROGRESSIVE OR REVOLUTIONALRY OUTLOOK ARE FAR FROM UNDERSTANDING THE CONCERN OF THOSE WHO ARE FIGHTING DEPENDENCY, FASCISM, AND CAPITALISM, SAYS THIS AUTHOR. USING THE LANGUAGE OF MARXIST STRUCTURALISM AND/OR FUNCTIONALISM, THEY DESCRIBE AND EXPLAIN THE "SYSTEM".THE SHOULD TREAT THE WORKING CLASS AND ITS ALLIES AS HISTORICAL ACTORS ON ROAD TO SOCIALISM.
