Abstract EN:

Frelimo has developed since the period of the independence struggle a political line whose main reference was marxism. However, the analysis of the liberation struggle history and that of the party's policies after independence (until the mid-eighties) shows that mozambique has not experienced a true process of socialist transition. In reality, marxism has been used by frelimo's leadership essentialy as an instrument for his project of creation of the mozambican nation through the state.

Abstract FR:

Le frelimo a developpe des la periode de la lutte pour l'independance un discours politique dont la reference etait le marxisme. Cependant, l'analyse de l'histoire de la lutte de liberation et des politiques menees par le parti apres l'independance (jusqu'au milieu des annees quatre-vingt) permet de conclure que le mozambique n'a pas connu un vrai processus de transition socialiste. Au contraire, le marxisme a servi augroupe dirigeant essentiellement comme l'instrument de son projet de creation de la nation mozambicaine par l'etat.
