This paper wishes to provide debates and actualizations within the latinamerican marxist dependency theory (LMDT), in light of the consolidation of some theoretical understandings within marxist theory and renewed debates in Latin America into LMDT.We will discuss how new debates on value-theory, feminist theory, State theory and thoughts on extractivism can enrich LMDT to provide with a fuller appreciation of current struggles against capitalism, patriachal rule, racism and neoextractivism in Latin America.Our approach will be to provide a syntesis of LMDT and work through it to put into debate these subjects withing such framework. We hope to provide the basis for a renewed framwork withing LMDT.
