In this article, I replace the theory of the mode of production—following a critique of its
ideological foundations—with a hypothesis grounded in a critical understanding of the laws
governing the movement of economic activity throughout the extensive trajectory of human social
and economic development. This hypothesis posits that capitalism—understood as the
subordination of a society’s economic activity to the laws governing the movement of capital—
forms the foundational basis of all social systems, regardless of the degree of development of the
prevailing productive forces or the form taken by the dominant relations of production. This
approach enables a reinterpretation of the nature of all doctrines and the true character of those
theories and systems that have emptied political economy of its social essence and stripped it of its
civilizational meaning, transforming it into a tool of domination and subjugation rather than an
instrument of consciousness and liberation.
