Su existencia no depende de la política económica sino de la organización capitalista de la economía y sus efectos son una serie de tendencias económicas en el desarrollo capitalista. Sin embargo, la competencia es también una herramienta poderosa en la lucha de clases. El punto de inflexión neoliberal ha liberado esta fuerza y la ha dirigido contra la clase obrera, desarrollando procesos de globalización y comodificación que han reestructurado completamente las relaciones económicas y sociales según las exigencias de la acumulación capitalista. Al mismo tiempo, se explica cómo el incremento de la competencia a valor universal ha producido una transformación política y cultural en la sociedad que hace que, hoy en día, la lucha contra el capital y la competencia parezca irracional y sin base científica.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[ABSTRACT In this paper we analyze how competition is the coercive force imposed by the laws of capital on individuals and society as a whole. Its existence does not depend on economic policy but on the capitalist organization of the economy, and its effects are a series of economic trends in capitalist development. However, competition is also a powerful tool in the class struggle. The neoliberal turning point has liberated this force and directed it against the working class, developing processes of globalization and commodification that have completely restructured economic and social relations according to the demands of capitalist accumulation. At the same time, it explains how the increase in competition to universal value has produced a political and cultural transformation in society that makes the struggle against capital and competition seem irrational and unscientific today.]]></p></abstract>
