Document Summary

Capitalist class - owners of the means of production assets. Before the capitalist economic system - which works in profit and free wage labor, there were reciprocity/colonial - inside of production. Feudalism - lords, kings, sheriff, knights, peasants - power of land. This coloniality of power, this operation of race, was also intertwined with the organization of labor. We call the capitalist system is called capitalist is because it is hegemonic you can t say that the other modes of production which were supposed to be left behind are behind. Native americans practice sustenance because they want to get away from the exploitation - some still do feudalism. While red and blue are different colors - they are still colors. While they are different in characteristics - they are not different in quality. However, this is only a way of defining difference. The other sense of differences relates to hierarchy and degeneration.
