			== Why This Matters ==
			Understanding the '''Mechanisms of Accumulation''' is essential for recognizing how structural inequality, poverty, and disconnection are maintained under modern and historical [[Regimes of Accumulation]]. These mechanisms are not natural, accidental, or morally neutral—they are designed and refined to enable systematic extraction of surplus from the laboring classes. Grasping how these tools function allows individuals, movements, and societies to expose exploitation, resist co-optation, and plan for transition to systems rooted in justice and connection.

These mechanisms may be direct, indirect, or masked and are frequently reinforced by symbolic/ideological components organized under the [[Mode of Reproduction]].
