Primitive Accumulation. It's Marx's term for colonialism, whereby capitalism accumulates gigantic piles of wealth via slavery and other forms of colonialist violence.
Cut to this Monday, in the supermarket, with a tropical storm rolling in.
White men, young men, whom I never ever see in the supermarket (I got lots of times a day), piling their shopping carts full of almost random stuff. Depriving others.
It's primitive accumulation, still in effect.
When white men panic they seem to go straight to pure plunder.
