Capitalism depends on negotiating power of labour. The economy, has to be embedded in social structures are which empower labour. This link between economy and political structure is discussed is discussed with reference to pre-capitalist forms of resistance and its limits, the constitution of social structures which are favourable to resistance from below, the homogenisation of living conditions of the lower ones and the failure of statist development strategies and social regulation by the elites. On this basis das the emergence of new cultural identitarian movements is analysed. Central topics are precapitalist peasant movements and specialisation of working classes, rents, structural heterogeneity, and lack of homogenisation of the lower classes, patterns of anti-imperialist resistance into deeds underdeveloped world was reform oriented so-called bourgeois nationalists, state classes, new cultural identitarian political movements and the relation to the new forms of pro Western bridgeheads, the non-governmental organisations. In the course economic, culturalist, sociological and political approaches are combined. Synergetic effects from one or other areas are limited. Class struggle and social conflicts are less the unfolding of a civilisational process of increasing control over society, than tragically failing attempts to liberation.
