Mode of Compliance
The Mode of Compliance refers to the specific configuration of means, mechanisms, and relations through which the Accumulating Class secures submission, obedience, and behavioural conformity from the exploited population. It encompasses both the coercive apparatus that enforces obedience through force and the ideological apparatus that manufactures consent, ensuring the stability and continuity of the Regime of Accumulation. Drawing on Ruyle’s Mechanisms of Force[1] and Zimbardo’s analysis of systemic evil,[2] the Mode of Compliance reveals how good people are induced to participate in, or remain passive before, systemic exploitation.
The Mode of Compliance is the disciplinary backbone of the Regime. Without it, extraction would face constant resistance. It operates through a combination of overt violence and internalized self-policing, making coercion often invisible and consent appear voluntary.[3]

Notes
The System encourages compliance and violence: Zimbardo, of Stanford Prison Experiment fame, speaks of a part of the System that aims at encouraging people towards compliance and violence. "However, I would have missed the big picture, the bigger power for creating evil out of good—that of the System, the complex of powerful forces that create the Situation."[4] His book details the forces that cause good people to do bad things.
Zimbardo notes, in the case of Nazis and their mass murder, that getting people to do evil things involves casting the opponent as an evil enemy, and then giving official "permission" to carry out sadistic acts. [5]. The tools for labelling others as evil enemies, and the ideological underpinning that facilitates permission, can be found in the Old Energy Creation Template
