LIMA, Erickaline Bezerra de; GUEDES, Deyse Cristina Valença  and  SILVA, Gabriel De Nascimento e. Community practices on facing covid-19 through the perspective of historical-dialectical materialism. Rev. psicol. polít. [online]. 2021, vol.21, n.51, pp. 463-477. ISSN 2175-1390.

The Covid-19 pandemic has caused worldwide harmful effects, exposing contradictions and limits of the current productive system. With this, actions to confront the health crisis arise, involving different sectors of society. In this essay we discuss community practices of solidarity that emerge as a form of facing the generalized crisis in Brazil from a historical-dialectical materialist perspective. Although they are transitory and not sufficient to dismantle the current productive logic, they express conscious actions on the environment and denounce the need for a new society organization. In summary, we identified self-organized actions, collective or individual, that rescue the ontological dimension of labor and strengthens the sense of community in order to minimize the impacts of the pandemic, especially to the most vulnerable populations.

Keywords : Covid-19; Community practices; Historical-dialectical materialism; Solidarity; Capitalism.
