Early life and education

Work
Armesilla spent a year and a half in Argentina through a postdoctoral scholarship from CONICET. He was a researcher at the Euro-Mediterranean University Institute and is the author of ten books on Marxism and political economy. Now he is the director of Beatriz Galindo-La Latina Institute where he teaches a course on Political Materialism. He is also the secretary-general of Vanguardia Española, the Spanish section of the Vanguardias Iberófonas, an intercontinental pan-iberophone socialist movement that seeks:...the unity of the Socialist Vanguard of Spanish and Portuguese-speaking countries; Iberofonía is composed of more than 861 million people who speak the only two universal languages mutually understandable by up to 89%, and who in turn share a common culture, traditions and ways of life, without denying the particularities of each of the nations of the Iberofonía.In his 2020 book La vuelta del revés de Marx, Armesilla lays the groundwork for a novel revolutionary theory still in construction called "Political Materialism" (MatPol):Resulting from the interweaving and fusion of Marx's Historical Materialism and [Gustavo] Bueno's Materialismo Filosófico, its objective is the material, plural, concrete, dialectical, historical and political understanding of reality, in view of its political implementation in a strong sense, in a nation-state of civilizational scale or imperio generador, in order to transform it [reality] in a radical sense at the largest possible zootropic-anthropic scale. Marx constructed his critique and his philosophical system by inverting Hegel, and Bueno did the same with Marx in order to purge Marxism from what were, according to him, the idealist components still present within it.
