The capital and the philosophizing of ancestral communities in the 21st century: complexity and critical dialectics in our america

Abstract

This paper focuses its analysis on the complex philosophizing of the Ancestral Communities, concrete historical expression of the complex community life, circumstances, history, languages and cultures, particularly in Our America. It seeks to critique the complex dialectics between capital as a system and the Ancestral Communities of the XXI Century, as true civilizations, which European colonialism and recolonizations, especially in the United States, not only subjected them, but also devastated and excluded them, via the civilizing crusades of the violent processes of capital accumulation, which overflowed and overflow barbarism, genocide, terrorism, ecocide, extractivism, dispossession and mainly epistemicide, which continues now, through epistemic, academic, cultural and educational recolonizations. Nevertheless, these ancestral civilizations and their complex rationalities resisted and resist today, imbricated to the critical thinking of the XXI Century, to the class struggle and to all the battles against the modern slavery of wage labor and against the modern slavery of Nature, they emerge as radical alternatives to the crisis and the civilizational decadence of capital. In this context the wisdom of the Na Savi, from Mexico, is approached.
