expropriation

  this is a much naglected label

  when used it gets mushed up



here's a classic useage 


=======================================


The “historical tendency of capitalist accumulation”


   primary accumulation
            or 
 “The expropriation 
of the immediate producers 
is accomplished 
with  merciless  vandalism
 and under the stimulus 
of passions
 the most infamous
 the most sordid
the  pettiest
and 
 the most meanly odious ”

    

“Self-earned 
private property 
  based  as it must be 
 on the fusing together
 of the isolated  independent laboring-individual
 with the conditions of his labor
 is supplanted
 by capitalistic private property
 which rests on exploitation
 of the nominally free labor 
of others ”

--------------------------------

secondary accumulation 
begins at the point when

 
“that which is  to be
 expropriated 
is no longer
 the laborer 
working for himself
 but the capitalist
 exploiting many laborers ”

  at this stage 

 “ expropriation  is accomplished
 by the action 
of the immanent laws 
of capitalistic production itself 

 by the centralization of capital

 One capitalist always kills many ”

 Hand in hand with 
centralization
with this higher stage 
this cannibal stage 
of expropriation
“ there  develops
 on an ever extending scale

 the co-operative form 
of the labor process

 the conscious 
technical application 
of science

 the methodical cultivation 
of the soil

 the transformation 
of the instruments of labor 
into instruments of labor 
only useable  in common

 the economizing 
of all means of production
 by their use
 as the means 
of production
 of combined  socialized labor ”

finally  
“ the entanglement 
of all people
 in the net of one world market
  completes 
 the internationalization 
 of the capitalistic regime ”

   

“  Along with
 the constantly diminishing 
number of  the magnates of capital
 who usurp  and monopolize 
all advantages
 of this process 
of transformation
 grows the mass 
of misery  oppression
 slavery  degradation

in a word 
“ exploitation ”
 
but along with this growth 
 of  exploitation 
  grows  too 
 the revolt 
of the working class

 a class always increasing in numbers
 in discipline and unity 
a class  organized 
by the very  process
 of capitalist production itself ”

and then at last 
the system reaches a stage 
where

“  The monopoly of capital
 becomes a fetter
 upon the mode of production
 which has sprung up 
and flourished 
along with it 
becomes a fetter on 
the further 
 “   Centralization
 of the means of production 
and
 socialization of labor ”

  where the further progress
of the productive system itself 
 “  becomes
incompatible
 with its  capitalist integument
and 
 The integument is burst asunder ”

 The  knell of capitalist private property sounds

 The expropriators are expropriated.”
