Sumario:The article points that one of the issues related to the integration of Latin American countries in the world system significantly interferes with the reproduction of capital and, at the same time, rise up in one of the main aspects of the intensity of social movements: the character of our economies persistently extractive. In this vein, the role of the State, with a bias guided by a development ruled in funding and strengthening the private sector, has consistently favored agribusiness (braking the agrarian reform and the demands of the quilombolas and indigenous people), performing an agenda for expansion of infrastructure (ports, hydroelectric plants, roads and energy policies, to name a few) and facilitated the extraction of ores from south of the Rio Bravo. The extent of these elements has triggered the reaction of the people from the most remote villages of Our America, with popular mobilizations, often isolated by mass communication, and with the dismantling of virulence of those more established (as in the Brazilian MST ). At the same time, in the case of large infrastructure projects, it was possible to observe the state protection for precarious work arrangements, in order to privilege these strategic sectors for great capital. In view of the geographic dispersion of these social movements, as well as the disarticulation is observed among those that recently clashed with state policies, it is necessary to consider the possibilities of unifying this diversity of claims allied with the demands of the workers.
