When working becomes mainly superfluous merchandise to reach profit, that s when the workforce s owner, the worker, is already sentenced to be superfluous, because the cheaper, miserable and abundant the manufacturing is, the more profitable the production is. This is the structural condition of the capital s accumulating system: turning historical individuals into cheap market things . In this direction, the present paper aims to analyze the capital s success through the workers depreciation in the structural crisis of the accumulating system nowadays. The unemployed workers reality in Vitória da Conquista/BA and the Unemployed Workers Movement s experience, in the same town, were studied. The current capitalism crisis, started in the 1970 s, has shown that the system producer of merchandise has reached structural and historical limits. That s the moment when the wealth production is turned into destructive production. In this context, the maintenance of profit extration and capital valuation have aggravated the workers condition that, without salary or land, face deprivation in country side or urban outskirt areas, as observed in Vitória da Conquista. These are produced territories whose main feature in its landscape is poverty. The capital s territorialization process, widely effectived for the cheap workforce search, becomes a real spatial misery distribution process around the world, actually a Geography of (un)employment. However, territory is produced by its contradictions and along them it s possible to observe the world s social dynamic. The work s social movement itself reproduces the structural classes conflict and the combat against capital. This conflict tends to get radical due to the increasing of global monopoly and workers misery. That s a contradictory process because while more workers become superfluous in order to reproduce accumulation, more workers get together for the urgent need of inverting their condition of superfluous to historical individuals.
