	The '''Mode of Accumulation''' reveals the '''economic engine''' of class society. It determines who works, who benefits~~, and how inequality is both '''produced''' and '''justified'''~~. It allows us to locate the structural sources of poverty, trauma, and disconnection within capitalist and pre-capitalist regimes. Critically, it shows how '''Accumulation is not incidental''', but systemic and intentionally designed.		The '''Mode of Accumulation''' reveals the '''economic engine''' of class society.

	To move toward a post-accumulation [[Regime of Distribution]], the value-extraction logic of the Mode of Accumulation must be identified, dismantled, and replaced with mechanisms that prioritize [[Needs Satisfaction]], [[Healing]], and [[Connection]].

Corporations receive substantial tax deductions, enhance brand equity, and may retain control over fund distribution via internal foundations. These transactions often include embedded administrative fees, funneling donated funds back into the corporate structure. Charitable giving also serves an ideological function, reinforcing moral narratives that shift responsibility away from systemic failure and toward personal obligation (see [[Mode of Reproduction]]).
