厄瓜多尔胡宁社区反对拟议采矿项目的基层斗争史揭示了解放神学的世俗化所增强的“殖民心态”在其发展中的中心地位。当地组织者与厄瓜多尔和其他地方的非政府组织建立了联系，帮助社区提高了开发成本，足以将采矿公司赶走。然而，随后铜价的上涨再次改变了比较优势公式，一家新的矿业公司正在寻求赢得社区成员的心。虽然葛兰西的立场之战在当前情况下是适当的，但它极易受到资本主义生存能力的影响。
The history of a grassroots struggle against proposed mining projects in the Ecuadorian community of Junín reveals the centrality to its development of a “colono mentality” augmented by the conscientization of liberation theology. Links established between local organizers and NGOs in Ecuador and elsewhere helped the community to raise the costs of development sufficiently to drive the mining company away. A subsequent rise in the price of copper altered the comparative-advantage formula again, however, and a new mining company is seeking to win community members’ hearts and minds. While a Gramscian war of position is appropriate under present circumstances, it is highly vulnerable to capitalism’s capacity for survival.
