Conforme adiantamos na seção anterior, constitui erro teórico primário definir imperialismo a partir da existência de “monopólios” num país capitalista qualquer. Tal argumento vem sendo utilizado por representantes de certa corrente do movimento comunista internacional (cmci) para justificar a condenação e por no alvo de ataque países capitalistas dependentes/subdesenvolvidos; bem como forças revolucionárias internas. De desenvolvimento médio ou mesmo pequeno, esses países seriam integrantes duma cadeia ou “pirâmide imperialista”, similarmente aos países do núcleo central do estágio imperialista do capitalismo global. A diferença seria hierárquica, de “graus”, mas todos eles se encontrariam num determinado estágio do imperialismo dessa pirâmide.

Para justificar a falsidade conceitual entre monopólios, e as implicações gerais do estágio imperialista do capitalismo, Lênin – dizem porta-vozes dessa cmci -, em “O Imperialismo, fase superior do capitalismo” supervalorizaria “o domínio dos monopólios”, ao ter mencionado que:

“A menos que as raízes económicas deste fenómeno sejam compreendidas e o seu significado político e social seja apreciado, nenhum passo pode ser dado para a solução do problema prático do movimento comunista”.

Assim, o Brasil ou a Grécia – possuidores de “monopólios” –, por exemplo, ali seriam enquadrados, devendo ser dessa maneira enfrentados no plano nacional e internacional. Quem não pensar e agir conforme tal “teoria” é reformista ou “oportunista” ou “revisionista”; também como o são revolucionários autênticos defensores de governos “patrióticos” no centro ou na periferia do capitalismo do estágio imperialista.

A assinalada cmci também afirma que o processo de “financeirização” da economia capitalista mundial não passa de “análise burguesa e oportunista”, que tal formulação supostamente esconderia “a essência da crise capitalista”. Que a crise atual não é “financeira” ou “estrutural”, mas sim “do capitalismo”.

Ora, que bobagem: acaso negou-se que a crise é do capitalismo, ou alguém disse por aí que a crise global dos nossos dias é do feudalismo ou do socialismo? Ouçamos, para começo de conversa, Marx:

“Deve-se distinguir bem a crise monetária, definida no texto como fase particular de cada crise geral de produção e comércio, do tipo especial de crise que se chama também de crise monetária, mas que pode parecer independentemente, de modo que ela só afeta indústria e comércio por repercussão. Estas são crises cujo movimento se centra no capital monetário e, por isso, bancos, bolsas de valores e finanças são sua esfera imediata” (Marx, Nota à 3ª edição de O Capital, Livro Primeiro, v. I, Tomo 1, São Paulo, Abril Cultural, 1983, p. 163). 

Fracasso epistemológico completo

Essa pretensa ortodoxia “marxista” é inteiramente falsa: nada tem a ver com o processo de estruturação econômica originária e evolutiva do capitalismo do estágio ou fase imperialista. E simplesmente é cega à simples constatação da gigantesca hegemonia da grande finança capitalista nos dias que correm.

Como veremos, sem qualquer dúvida estamos diante de uma fraude epistemológica – ou duma teoria do desconhecimento.

O caráter da configuração de países do estágio imperialista ocorre na segunda metade do século 19 – especialmente a partir de 1870. Um grande impulso para as transformações estruturais no capitalismo concorrencial ou livre-cambista encontra-se na sinergia entre: a) a chamada 1ª Grande Depressão (1873-96), na medida em que grandes fusões e aquisições foram a saída à crise perpetrada pelo movimento do capital, particularmente na constituição de grandes bancos e corporações de grande escala produtiva; b) quando se processava então a 2ª revolução industrial, onde a eletricidade, o aço, o motor a combustão, a química da soda e do cloro, o petróleo, o telégrafo sem fio, o telefone nuclearam a transição para um capitalismo de trustes industriais diversificados e integrado através das novas descobertas científicas; ao invés de da mecânica simples e uma industrialização baseada na máquina a vapor, no ferro e no carvão.

Entretanto, deve-se sublinhar desde logo: ao requerer volume avantajado de capital para correspondência às escalas ampliadas: (i) as sociedades anônimas foram decisivas para novas estruturas das propriedades industrial ou bancária; (ii) os bancos passaram a prover crédito de capital (antes financiavam o giro dos negócios), bem como fundiram grandes empresas que passaram a ser comandadas por monopólios financeiros, cada vez mais gigantescas. É exatamente daí que – já – nascem os oligarcas das finanças: o capitalista “tocador de obra” é subordinado ao movimento de concentração e centralização do capital.

Ou nas preciosas palavras de Marx:

“O crédito que, em seus começos, desliza-se e insinua-se recatadamente como tímido auxiliar da acumulação, atraindo e aglutinando em mãos de capitalistas individuais ou associados, por meio de uma rede de fios invisíveis, o dinheiro disseminado em grandes ou pequenas massas pela superfície da sociedade, logo se revela uma arama nova e temível no campo de batalha da concorrência e termina por converter-se em um gigantesco mecanismo social de centralização de capitais” (Marx, O Capital, v. 1, Fondo de Cultura, México, 1949, p. 530, apud Barbosa de Oliveira, 2003).

É por isso que os bancos passam a predominar, também enquanto sociedade por ações, assumindo a partir de então o controle do monopólio do crédito. Os “trustes do dinheiro”, significando o poder dos bancos na centralização financeira e produtiva, com dirigentes de bancos se fazendo dirigentes de grandes empresas. Claro está que as decisões de investimento, paulatinamente, são regidas por esta nova oligarquia financeira.

Capitalismo monopolista de desenvolvimento desigual, vez que entre países do centro mais industrializado diferenças de ritmos podem ser exemplificadas com o caso da Alemanha. Nela, foi necessário que o sistema bancário, bem mais desenvolvido, financiasse a própria industrialização, o que – atenção! – acontece antes da monopolização industrial.

Estruturas econômicas imperialistas: Alemanha e EUA

Na Alemanha, uma vez que o desenvolvimento capitalista é atrasado, relativamente à Inglaterra – o capitalismo originário -, seu Estado, ainda na antiga Prússia, criou a Companhia de Comércio Ultramarino (Sheeandlung), na verdade um grande banco estatal de investimento. A Companhia investia diretamente em ramos como a metalurgia, a têxtil, a mecânica, e ainda na mineração. Ademais, fornecia crédito fácil e vantajoso às empresas capitalistas a partir de associações que dirigiam investimentos em áreas estratégicas.

Mas não só isso. Eis um exemplo claríssimo do que significa a estrutura econômica dum país imperialista: o próprio Deutsche Bank (1870) começa a atuar nas Américas do Sul e Central ainda em 1887, com o nome de Banco Alemão Transatlântico, que pertencia a uma subsidiária do Deutsche Bank, o Deutsche Ueberseeische Bank (Banco Alemão Ultramarino), fundado em Berlim em 2 de outubro de 1886. A primeira filial na América do Sul foi estabelecida em Buenos Aires, Argentina. Em seguida, foram instaladas filiais no Chile (1889), no México (1902), no Peru (1905), na Bolívia (1905) e no Uruguai (1906).

De acordo com o teórico marxista Rudolf Hilferding e autor do famoso “O capital financeiro” (1909), a configuração particular do caráter monopolista-imperialista da Alemanha ocorreu essencialmente porque:

“(…) os bancos alemães tinham, desde o princípio, o dever de colocar à disposição das sociedades por ações o capital necessário, isto é, prover não somente o crédito corrente, mas também o crédito de capital”. Ademais, de maneira geral, além do fato do desenvolvimento capitalista e sua organização creditícia fazer crescer a dependência da indústria relativamente aos bancos, estes passaram a imobilizar naquela uma parte cada vez maior de seus capitais, tornando-se crescentemente “um capitalista industrial”. E afirma ele mais adiante, descrevendo o processo de consolidação hegemônica estrutural da oligarquia financeira, à medida que “O capital financeiro desenvolveu-se com o desenvolvimento das sociedades anônimas e alcança seu apogeu com a monopolização da indústria”.

Simultaneamente, há o declínio do capital comercial, “outrora tão soberbo”, e agora transformado “em um agente da indústria monopolizada pelo capital financeiro” (Hilferding, “O capital financeiro”, cap. XIV “Os monopólios capitalistas e os bancos”, São Paulo, Nova Cultural, 1985).

Importa sublinhar que – conforme ainda conclusões decisivas à compreensão do imperialismo com capitalismo da época do capital financeiro – descreve Hilferding que, setores do capital bancário na Alemanha “desde os primórdios” estavam intimamente vinculado ao desenvolvimento da indústria pesada, quedava suporte à politica protecionista implementada destacadamente em 1879 – distintamente da oposição do capital industrial e do mercantil. Assim, diferentemente do processo de desenvolvimento imperialista da Inglaterra, adepta do “livre comércio”, os “protecionistas” Alemanha e EUA:

“(…) tornaram-se modelos de desenvolvimento capitalista, quando se admite, como critério, o grau de centralização e de concentração do capital, portanto o grau de desenvolvimento dos cartéis e trustes, o domínio dos bancos sobre a indústria, numa palavra, a transformação de todos os capitais em capital financeiro” (“O capital financeiro”, cap. XXI, A transformação na política comercial, idem).

Ora, apesar da grande identidade de leis e medidas protecionistas em favor da industrialização, acontece que o processo de conglomeração do capital bancário e industrial nos EUA se deu numa forma diversa daquela da Alemanha.

O exemplo bastante aludido dessas características outras do desenvolvimento à configuração das estruturas econômicas do imperialismo norte-americano é o de John Hobson, economista liberal burguês que deu grandes contribuições para a análise do capitalismo da época dos monopólios. Por volta de 1870, nos EUA, ricaços da indústria e das ferrovias transformaram-se também em banqueiros, o que fez Hobson descrever:

“Foi assim quem construtores de trustes, como os srs. Rockfeller, Rogers, Havenemeyer e dirigentes de estradas de ferro como Harriman, Gould, Drew, ou Vanderbilt se tornaram banqueiros ou diretores de companhias de seguros, enquanto banqueiros como J. P. Morgan organizava combinações na indústria de aço e navegação e participavam em diversas diretorias de companhias ferroviárias e industriais” (Hobson, “A evolução do capitalismo moderno”, 1894,  cap. O financiador, São Paulo, Abril Cultural, 1983 (atualizada da ed. 1926).

Noutras palavras e conforme assinalara pouco antes Hobson (idem, ibidem) os lucros oriundos de monopólios como do transporte ou da manufatura passaram a ser “logicamente aplicados nas áreas das finanças”, formando fundos com ampla disponibilidade de capital, associando-se a banqueiros que então exerceram controle “financeiro geral sobre os negócios” para maiores lucros.

Isso quer dizer que, se por um lado o processo e fusão e conglomeração bancário/industrial tinha por impulso inicial as empresas, de outra parte afirmava-se o papel dos bancos como principal para o processo de centralização de capitais. Na verdade, acentuava-se a disputa pelo controle dos bancos por empresários ávidos para a manipulação do crédito contra a concorrência. (ver: “Processo de industrialização. Do capitalismo originário ao atrasado”, de C.A. Barbosa de Oliveira, São Paulo, Unesp, 2003, p. 239).

Assim, a denominada Corporation americana emerge por volta dos anos 1880, notadamente a partir da aceleração do movimento de concentração e centralização do capital, principalmente via: a) a indústria organizando firmas comerciais em escala nacional e, às vezes internacional; b) com as fusões de empresas industriais e cadeias comerciais. Mas esse processo da fusão do capital bancário com o industrial ocorre recorrendo-se ao mercado de capitais como financiador.

Hobson, em Imperialism: a study (1902), por sua vez, discorre sobre o amplo favorecimento à indústria norte-americana por tarifas protecionistas (têxtil, metalúrgica, ferramentas, vestuário, mobiliário e outros manufaturados), como motor à passagem “da infância à maturidade” – rapidez sem precedentes, afirma – possibilitou enquanto “forças propulsoras do imperialismo” a economia industrial mais bem equipada e mais produtiva do mundo. Noutras palavras:

“Um era de competição predatória, seguida por um rápido processo de fusões. Lançou uma quantidade enorme de riqueza nas mãos de um pequeno número de capitães da indústria” (Hobson, cap. VI, A principal raiz econômica do imperialismo, in: “Utópicos, heréticos e malditos”, Teixeira, A. (org.), Rio de Janeiro, Record, 2002).

Do “imperialismo” brasileiro – e da estupidez

O imperialismo, sobre o qual já caracterizamos a partir de Lênin no artigo anterior, antes de seu caráter guerreiro –“inevitavelmente”, escreveu o revolucionário russo -, não pode ser analisado levianamente, inspirado em formulações grosseiras, idealistas e anti-dialéticas.

Como é sabido por todos, a globalização neoliberal – “nova vulgata planetária”, recorda o marxista Jean Salem a Bordieu-Wacquant (2000) – comandada pelas potências imperialistas do nosso tempo ampliou significativamente as assimetrias constitutivas do desenvolvimento desigual do capitalismo; e multiplicou mais ainda as desigualdades sociais com base na exploração capitalista.

Fundamentalmente, o controle do padrão tecnológico difundido pela revolução técnico-científica atual acentuou-se, tanto do ponto de vista comércio exterior e dos organismos internacionais que decidem quem pode ou não ter a ele acesso (OMC, OCDE, BIS, FMI, Banco Mundial etc.), como sob a indiscutível hegemonia avassaladora do grande capital financeiro, aumentaram tais distâncias do próprio desenvolvimento capitalista, inclusive no interior de países centrais (regiões, cidades etc.).

Especialmente com a internacionalização e liberalização global dos mercados financeiros (“financeirização global”) e dos grandes monopólios, sob comando do dólar e da política monetária norte-americana, países como Brasil perderam a capacidade de acionar sua própria politica econômica o a autonomia em gerir sua economia.

Essencialmente, o país regrediu, do ponto de vista de sua estrutura produtiva, em relação a seu passado capitalista nacional-desenvolvimentista (1930-80). Chamou-se a isto então de “especialização regressiva”, fenômenos que destacaremos adiante.

E, muito diferentemente dos países do capitalismo central, a industrialização brasileira só é impulsionada a partir da revolução burguesa de 1930. Ainda assim, permaneceu “restringida” até os fins dos anos 1970, para completar a fase “pesada” da industrialização, iniciada entre 1956-61. Diz-se, portanto, que o Brasil atravessou cerca de 100 anos (!) para constituir um padrão capitalista, em termos de estrutura econômica, similar ao do final do século 19 dos países do núcleo duro do imperialismo (EUA, Inglaterra, Alemanha, França, Japão e Itália, particularmente).

Ora, no Brasil não houve nada parecido como processo de fusão entre o capital bancário e industrial, datada da segunda metade do século 19, que alcançaram alguns países, como demonstramos acima. Bancos, Holdings, Empreiteiras aqui existentes são grandes monopólios, sem qualquer dúvida; eles podem existir em um país capitalista determinado – e inclusive exportar capitais, por suposto. Novamente, e como vimos à exaustão, no estágio imperialista do capitalismo “o buraco é mais embaixo”, usando de nosso conhecido ditado popular.

Por conseguinte, desnecessário prosseguir quaisquer em outras tentativas ou exercícios de desvendamento acerca da teoria do “imperialismo” brasileiro ou de que o Brasil faz parte da “cadeia da pirâmide imperialista”. Apenas o devaneio ideologizado pode assim interpretar um país capitalista de desenvolvimento médio (sofisticado em algumas poucas áreas), dependente tecnologicamente, embora provedor de alguns nichos especializados importantes (aviação regional, tecnologia agrícola, petróleo em águas profundas).

Desnecessário mas útil: desde que se constituiu enquanto forças produtivas capitalistas típicas, nosso país é defensor da paz, o que continua a fazer nos fóruns internacionais, gerar geral contra o belicismo imperialista. Vulnerável e frágil do ponto de vista militar, esse imenso e continental país, de enormes fronteiras, não conseguiu ainda construir seu aparato de dissuasão estratégica. Trata-se, além, de estupidez política propagandear ser o Brasil imperialista, “semi” ou coisa que o valha!

Diametralmente oposto à afirmação do nosso país ser “imperialista”:

1) o Brasil continua sendo amplamente exportador de produtos primários. Embora nos últimos anos o Brasil tenha se beneficiado de circunstâncias econômicas externas e internas especialmente favoráveis, economistas ocorreu a alta e crescente participação de commodities, produtos primários, na matriz de exportação brasileira. Quase metade (48%) dela é composta por produtos in natura (principalmente produtos agropecuários, minérios, petróleo, gás e madeira). Ou seja, para além, uma pauta de exportação muito vulnerável a variações nos preços internacionais e ao padrão de consumo de outros países.

Comparativamente, observe-se a diferença qualitativa: na China (onde a participação dos produtos intensivos em recursos naturais é de apenas 9,3%), os Estados Unidos (15%), México (23%) ou Índia (29%) – há um equilíbrio entre esses produtos e os de valor agregado em tecnologia. Ademais, a participação de commodities em todo o comércio mundial é de apenas 26%, média bastante inferior ao percentual do Brasil.

A chamada “reprimarização” da pauta de exportação do Brasil já é um fato, de acordo com o Instituto de Pesquisa Econômica Aplicada (Ipea, do Ministério de Assuntos Estratégicos): entre 2007 e 2010, a participação de commodities na pauta de exportações brasileiras saltou de 41% para 51%, depois de ficar em torno dos 40% durante todos os anos 1990.[veja-se detalhadamente no gráfico abaixo]

2) Ao lado de prosseguir no caminho acima apontado, nos últimos três anos, o Brasil – e todos os outros países dependentes, subdesenvolvidos e periféricos – continua submetido à ditadura da oligarquia financeira internacional, bem ao contrário do que imagina a referida cmci, ao negar os processos objetivos, também avassaladores de amplo domínio do capitalismo contemporâneo movido pelas finanças (“financeirização”).

Totalmente diferente da tergiversação dessa cmci, como demonstra magistralmente o excelente estudo de Peter Phillips e Brady Osborne (original em: http://www.globalresearch.ca/exposing-the-financial-core-of-the-transnational-capitalist-class/5349617), [1] é quase inacreditável o gigantismo tentacular em que transfigurou-se a hegemonia do capital financeiro, suas relações apodrecidas com a lavagem do dinheiro, com o narcotráfico internacional, o contrabando de armas e todo o tipo de negócios ilegais.

Enquanto isso, o Brasil considerado “imperialista” possui hoje um PIB (Produto Interno Bruto) de 2,253 trilhões de dólares (2012): bem inferior aos valores administrados pelos conglomerados financeiros Black Rock (britânico), ou praticamente igual aos dos UBS (suíço), Allianz (alemão) ou Vanguard group (EUA)!

Em tempo: o desenvolvimento do capitalismo da etapa imperialista comprovou, assim, a conhecida formulação de Lênin (“O imperialismo, etapa superior do capitalismo”): a forma financeira do capital submeteu todas as outras ao pretérito.
