  • Abstract: The article returns to Luxemburg's rejection of Marx's “schemes of reproduction”. This rejection transforms the meaning attributed to the word “capitalism”. It is no longer a question of a type of society, but of a particular sector that is far from covering the entire economy and which imposes its domination on other forms of production without necessarily making them disappear. We are no longer dealing with a capitalism which, undermined by its own contradictions, is likely to collapse, but with a devastating logic of accumulation which constantly finds new ways of perpetuating itself.
