JS:    No, as I say, the explanation of resistance is interest-based
group action, a fundamental human motivation. The observed phenomenin
are a result of this. 
...
HD: We could also ask a Bhaskarian-like transcendental question.  If 
> world history is governed by resistence against domination, 'what 
> must human beings be like to resist domination?'

JS: My answer, very briefly: creatures who tend to act on their group
interests.

Lisa Rogers asks: 
How did humans come to be creature who act on group interests?  Do
they have other interests than "group"?  How do they define the group
with which they have interests or to which they belong?
