MST: uma análise de seu programa e práticas políticas sob os governos do PT.

Abstract

In this research we will be analysing the agrarian program of the Landless Workers Movement (MST). We will be identifying their influences, ruptures and continuities, in two aspects. On one hand, we'll identify how the contributions developed by technicians, political parties and intellectuals made themselves present within the movement, pointing out the economist Celso Furtado, as an important exponent of the Economic Comission to Latin America and Caribe (CEPAL), and the political conception of the Comunist Party of Brasil (PCB). And, in the other hand, we'll identify what were the changes suffered as a result of cyclical modifications with the rise of the Workers Parties (PT) to the federal government. Here we comprehend mainly the period of the government of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (2003-2010), referring, too, indirectly, to the government of Dilma Rousseff, considering that the government is still ongoing. To contextualize, we will rebuild analiticaly the performance of the MST in the last two decades, with the purpose of highlighting it's programmatic changes and the context in which it operates, verifying theories that inspire it's political program. It's part of our job to identify the social composition of the MST, bringing up the debate about the persistence of the peasantry in the Brazilian social formation, and i'ts role in a counter-hegemonic project.
