In the last decade of the nineteenth century the social democratic field was divided into ideological strands that go from one moderate-wing approach, that favored the political work of small steps within the law, bypassing the so called center-Marxist with a majority in the presidency of Social Democratic Party, to even more activists' groups, which defended a "revolutionary" break with bourgeois society as such. …”

It will also be verified that this dialogue, on its turn, flows into the idea of expropriation of the subject, since the author recognizes, under the sign of the "self", the innumerable traces of the others in his writing. …”
