==Typology==

=== I. Direct Economic Extraction ===

'''Wage Labour''' – Workers are paid less than the value they produce, with surplus appropriated as profit.

'''Rent''' – Payment for access to land, housing, or capital; creates passive income streams for owners.

'''Taxation (Regressive)''' – Disproportionate burden placed on working populations to fund elite-serving institutions.

'''Slavery''' – Total appropriation of labour with no compensation.

'''Indentured Labour''' – Temporary contractual coercion; wages deducted to cover inflated living/travel costs.

=== II. Indirect or Systemic Extraction ===

'''Debt''' – Interest payments transfer value to lenders; often compounded by predatory lending practices.

'''Privatization''' – Public assets are sold below value to private owners, who then charge rent/fees.

'''Intellectual Property Regimes''' – Artificial scarcity created around ideas, code, genes, or formulas.

'''Enclosure''' – Historical seizure of common lands and resources, forcing wage dependency.

'''Speculative Markets''' – Financial manipulation of prices and volatility extracts rent from volatility itself.

=== III. Masked or Legitimized Accumulation ===

'''Charitable Donations''' – Corporations receive tax breaks and reputational value while retaining control over funds via foundations. May charge internal administrative fees. Often used for PR and ideological laundering.

'''Greenwashing / ESG Funds''' – Financial instruments marketed as ethical or sustainable that funnel capital back to conventional exploitative enterprises.

'''Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)''' – Strategic philanthropy designed to deflect criticism and reinforce brand loyalty.

'''Voluntourism / NGO Colonialism''' – Accumulation of prestige and indirect profits through morally coded development projects.

=== IV. Hybrid Mechanisms ===

'''Crowdfunding for Healthcare''' – Shifts the burden of care to individuals while extracting emotional labour and platform fees.

'''Student Debt''' – Combines educational ideology with long-term financial entrapment.

'''Gig Economy''' – Combines wage labour, data extraction, and risk transfer to the worker.

==Why This Matters==

Understanding accumulation mechanisms allows us to expose the functional architecture of capitalist oppression. These techniques form the foundation of material inequality, enable elite dominance, and sustain the [[Old Energy Civilization]]. Mapping these mechanisms is essential to dismantling the [[Regime of Accumulation]] and transitioning toward a [[Regime of Distribution]].

==Relation to Other Concepts==

A subset of broader [[Mechanisms of Extraction]]

Rooted in the operation of the [[Mode of Accumulation]]

Reinforced by [[System Maintenance]] agents and [[Mode of Reproduction]] ideology
