RESUMO

This work is based on the hypothesis that the Brazilian Landless Workers Movement (called MST), is, in itself, an organizational environment that allows for the growth of social relations that differ--in their reproduction--from the relations borne out of the bourgeois society. The Movement, in that sense, allows for the development of earlier-stages of fundamental socialistic relations. To understand the scope of this process, we begin with a conceptual analysis of how said environment is created, based on the modes of production and reproduction of the modern Brazilian society. Our analysis is based on the Historical Materialism theoretical and methodological approach. The analysis is based on the understanding that the capitalistic mode of production inevitably creates expropriation and exploration (Marx, 1986). It denies expropriated laborers the chance to improve their human condition by way of the latifundium of social injustice. It marginalizes workers, who, in response to this condition, seek alternative means of re-socialization. However, most of these alternative means are part of the status quo maintained by the capitalistic society itself; organized crime and drug trafficking, in this sense, only sponsor the deterioration of the human condition. But other alternatives, however, aim to provide a environment outside the logic of the bourgeois society. The Landless Workers Movement is one of the latter alternatives, that is, which tries to overcome the barriers of capitalism. Our qualitative observation understands the Movement as a social space that generates (based on its objectives) new social relations, based on the solidarity and cooperation between people as a means to unite, and build a society without exploration (MST, 1996). Based on these ideals, the Movement creates new territories (Fernandes, 1999) and imposes itself as one of the mediating powers of social relations within its territorial confines. The organization of the Movement aims at building a collective identity of reciprocity, between the organization and its people. It labels all its members as one unitary class of workers, a working class of peasants.
