Methodology: an investigation induced by a dialectical exploration, with documentary research techniques and participant observation. Results: it is elucidated what the distinctive characteristics of each political form are and, therefore, the main contradictions in conflict when they are exercised empirically. Limitations: the analysis was carried out only in one municipality. Value: this research presents the way in which political subordination operates and makes visible the community policy’s counter-movement. Conclusions: community policy’s difficulties to sustain the fight against subordination are enumerated.
