Abstract
This article presents the dialectical tensions between the need for a global socialist strategy and the certain fact that represents the growing dominance of capital. Attention is drawn to the gradual and diverse process of theoretical-political conformation of a socialist strategy against the domination of capital, referring to the dialectical relations between principles, political practice and creative elaboration. Likewise, it is considered that popular democratic relations in Venezuela, Bolivia and Ecuador continue to face the unavoidable challenge of fracturing, from the notion of a permanent revolutionary rhythm, the logic of capital. On the political issue, it is emphasized the urgency of a conception around the revolutionary use of bourgeois democracy, which is incompatible with the simplistic perception of the “democratic game”, it is not about adapting to said democracy, legitimizing its paths, but to transcend it.
