Mechanisms of Force

From The SpiritWiki

According to Ruyle,[1] the Mechanisms of Force are the violent means used by the Accumulating Class to, when necessary, physically coerce an exploited population. Mechanisms of force facilitate the suppression of revolutionary forces, protecting the power and privilege of the Accumulating Class, and are an essential component of The System.
