The objective is to provoke debate and reflection on the political tricks and maneuvers that intensify inequality and social injustice in the country, concomitantly, on the demobilization strategies of the working class, however, to point out some triggers for new paths for the period that enters 2023 of the so-called reconstruction. This is a bibliographic, exploratory and qualitative study, whose analyzes are based on the critical social theoretical perspective and resulting in some clues relating to social participation as a possibility of social control and resistance in the face of a dismantling engendered in the country's history.
