| description | Most theoretical positions in support of basic income draw on a “fair society” model. Even in a post-Marxist context, basic income is conceived as a formal recognition of a social relationship, aimed at validating a liberation process that has already taken place. The present work begins from an alternative perspective. In line with a dialectical and conflicting concept of basic income, it proposes a mechanism for the reappropriation of the decision-making process, which opens up spaces for deconstruction and conflict. However, the concept must be calibrated for the conditions in which the right to a basic income is claimed; it must also take account of prevailing power relations. The paper presents a theory of a basic income as a liberation mechanism that facilitates the disarticulation of the mercantile organization of social relations and favours the possibility of autonomously deciding one’s future and the conditions of communal life.
La mayoría de las posturas teóricas a favor de la renta básica se basan en un modelo de “sociedad justa”. Incluso en un contexto posmarxista, la renta básica se concibe como un reconocimiento formal de una relación social, destinado a validar un proceso de liberación que ya ha tenido lugar. El presente trabajo parte de una perspectiva alternativa. Siguiendo una concepción dialéctica y conflictiva de la renta básica, propone un mecanismo de reapropiación del proceso de toma de decisiones, que abre espacios de deconstrucción y conflicto. Sin embargo, el concepto debe calibrarse para las condiciones en las que se reclama el derecho a una renta básica; también debe tener en cuenta las relaciones de poder imperantes. El documento presenta una teoría de la renta básica como mecanismo de liberación que facilita la desarticulación de la organización mercantil de las relaciones sociales y favorece la posibilidad de decidir autónomamente el propio futuro y las condiciones de la vida en común.
