A Regime of Accumulation (a.k.a. The Regime,The System) is a economic system designed specifically so that a minority of privileged people (the Accumulating Class) can accumulate Labour Value from a suppressed and exploited majority (the Slave Class). The Regime of Accumulation consists of a Mode of Exploitation and the various Relations of Accumulating.

Notes

The four videos in this YouTube Playlist - What is Money: Capitalism, Socialism, Communism teach about the current Regime of Accumulation, how it works, why we don't see it (the mystification of money), and what we can do about it.

The System (i.e., Capitalism) is responsible for the impoverishment of the planet.[2] It did not reduce extreme poverty, it created it.

Data on real wages suggests that, historically, extreme poverty was uncommon and arose primarily during periods of severe social and economic dislocation, particularly under colonialism.
The rise of capitalism from the long 16th century onward is associated with a decline in wages to below subsistence, a deterioration in human stature, and an upturn in premature mortality.
In parts of South Asia, sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America, wages and/or height have still not recovered.
Where progress has occurred, significant improvements in human welfare began only around the 20th century. These gains coincide with the rise of anti-colonial and socialist political movements.[3]

"The Most Wicked are always those in Power—The whole History of Humanity is the History of the Forcible Appropriation of Power by the Wicked and their Oppression of the Good."[4]

According to Ruyle[5], any Regime of Accumulation will consist of a particular Mode of Exploitation.

The current Regime of Accumulation is a capitalist regime. For an explication, see the Rocket Scientists' Guide to Money and the Economy.

An excellent overview of how the rich rig The System to benefit them is provided by economist Dean Beaker.[6]

Ruyle uses the phrase Mode of Exploitation to refer to The System. Ruyle breaks the mode of exploitation down into three interrelated systems, Exploitative Techniques, Mechanism of Force, and Ideological Institutions. Each of these systems work together to enable and propagate the exploitation fo the masses. His schema is a useful way to conceptualize the system.

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."[7] 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. [8]. The tools for labelling others as evil enemies, and the ideological underpinning that facilitates permission, can be found in the Old Energy Creation Template

The current, Stage Five system is a Capitalist Regime of Accumulation. [9]. In order for the planet to move on to Stage Seven, the Regime of Accumulation must be replaced with a Regime of Distribution that fairly and sustainably distributes the planet's bounty.
