CAPITAL'S WAR MACHINE

THE MILITARY LOGISTICS OF THE BRAZILIAN POLICE

Abstract

The paper seeks to correlate the implications between the war machine of capital, the security and surveillance state, and the war against the population as constitutive and basic elements for the war logistics used by the Brazilian police. In order to trace a path that will clarify this problematic, the text is structured in three sections: first, neoliberalism is understood as a strategic key for the performance of the war machine of capital inseparable from the relationship human beings and technical machines; Then, the promotion of a constant state of insecurity in which germinates the need to implement a security and surveillance state manifested in the logistics of operational warfare of the Brazilian police is analyzed, to arrive, finally, at the third part, which confronts the difficulty in demarcating the intersection between the civilian and the military, where the role of the police is essential to blur the frontiers where violence and law meet to make possible the promotion of the condition of "civil war" against the subalternized population. The methodology is organized from the method of historical materialism through the bias of Antonio Negri.
