Abstract
The analysis presented in this article aims to revisit the elements of the Brazilian social formation focusing on the democracy issues and the forms that the bourgeois domination takes in Brazil. Thus, it was sought to understand the complexity of social reality from Marx’s social theory and through the methodology of translatability it was possible to apply the Gramscian category of passive revolution in Brazilian reality. The wide bibliographic incursion pointed out that the reproduction of social relations affects the milestones of Brazilian political emancipation and advances to undemocratic organic forms. We therefore conclude that revolution from above constitutes a determination of dependent capitalism.
