Resumen
GARCIA RAMIREZ, José Carlos. Seven theses on human rights de-colonization in Karl Marx: A diagnosis to assess the quality of democracy in Latin America . Tabula Rasa [online]. 2009, n.11, pp.253-288. ISSN 1794-2489.
This paper aims to invite readers to undertake a new hermeneutic-political turn on the readings on Marx. I will examine the concept of human rights, traditionally stigmatized by the standard or dogmatic Marxism. To accomplish this purpose, we have to understand its context, then looking at its transformation and overcoming. Albeit it is true that such a concept is an ideological mechanism permitting the political and legal reproduction of capital, it may also be addressed, on the basis of an interest of emancipation, by the system's victims. That is why it is important to come back to Marx in order to redesign narratives or epistemologies permitting the decolonizing turn of human rights by recourse to the ethics of responsibility, to critic to private property, to judicial theory and to empowerment of people organized. That is why there is a need to resort to the narratives vindicating the civil resistance; that is a necessary condition to the establishment of a real democracy, a people's democracy.
