Emily-
It's been a couple years since I've watched it, but I too was a big fan of Lost. I think you've made a really interesting comparison.
In the beginning, the Others leave the crash survivors alone for awhile. The survivors don't even know the Others exist. This is similar to Sarmiento's description of the relations between the elites and the gauchos: they want nothing to do with each other, like two separate societies.
Eventually, the others, with their vision of how they want the island to work, begin to manipulate the survivors. (like you said)
I think the biggest difference would be that in Lost, the survivors just want to leave the island and find a way home, while the gauchos/poor folk are defending their homes as well as their way of life.
