Individual or Collective Experiences
- Base on individual intersectionalities in relation to the collective society where the individual lives
Production
(Changes Over Time)
Forces of Production: increasingly interdpendent
- Means of Production:
- Subjects:
- Natural Resources, Raw Materials
- Instruments:
- Machines, Tools, Technology, Logistics, Farms, Mines, Factories, Realestate
- Labor-Power:
- Human capacity to labor
Relations of Production: increasingly individual
- Answers question of who owns the means of subsistence/ Essentially what is defined as "property" and "ownership"
- These are the relations between individuals in terms of who owns the forces of production and the "product" of the labor put into the production process
- Increasing commodification and privatization of products and labor
- Types: Cooperative, Slave, Fuedal, Capital, Communal
- The production process is a requirement for human survival and is a precondition for human interaction.
- Relations of Production may weaken but don't change on their own. They must be overthrown.

(Primarily reproduced through mute compulsion and social sufficiency)
Antagonism:
Contradiction:
- There is a general contradiction between the forces of production (that are increasingly interdependent or social) and the relations of production (that are increasingly individual).
- This contradiction drives the revolutionary process forward
- The relations of production become a fetter on the development of productive forces leading to a period of regression before an era of social revolution
- Qualitative changes begin to form around the relations of production to continue the quantitative development to the forces of production
Moment when the relations of production become "regressive"
Moment of social revolution

Mode of Production
Sector
- Private (a.k.a. capital)

- Public (a.k.a. governmental)

Historical Bloc
Calculating Hegemony
Understanding variations in the exercise of hegemony required a political analysis attuned to the “equilibrium” of force and consent at any conjuncture. In place of the common Marxist division of economic “structure” and “superstructure”, Gramsci proposed the concept of a “historical bloc” (blocco storico). This was a composite of distinct class and social forces joined politically and culturally under a specific form of hegemony (SPN: 137). Additionally, it was possible to gauge the extent to which a class had sacrificed its “economic corporate” interests in expanding its leadership across civil society (SPN: 161). Empirical analysis of hegemony would assess the “relations of forces” that combined structures and superstructures in a historical situation (SPN: 181–85; for a discussion, see Bellamy & Schecter 1993: ch. 6).

Strategic and Tactical Questions
- What are the strategies and tactics used by the ruling class within the production process.
- What are the strategies and tactics of the ruling class within the consumption process?
- What are the ruling class strategies and tactics that impact subjective experiences
- What are the strategies and tactics of the ruling class in the superstructures?
- What are the biggest weaknessness and strengths of the ruling class?
- In what ways can you disrupt, reduce ruling class power, or gain tactical advantage over every aspect of the diagram for this specific struggle?
Superstructures
(Primarily reproduced through hegemony, division, and violence)
Political:
Social:
- In order to maintain power, the ruling class also begins reorganizing the political structure to maintain profits and power
- The ruling class becomes increasingly violent towards the dispossessed class as popular calls for social change increase
- As the "regression" period of historical development occurs, social institutions are impacted first
- The ruling class begins by cutting social wellfare programs to maintain profits which further concentrates socially produced wealth

- Are dependent upon other humans to help find or produce all the needs to survive
- Thus humans are in a symbiotic relationship with nature and other humans
- Different groups of humans may produce in different ways according to their environment

Farahmandpur, R., & McLaren, P. (1999). Critical Multiculturalism and the Globalization of Capital: Some Implications for a Politics of Resistance. Journal of curriculum theorizing.UC Berkeley Othering and Belonging Institute
Societal Situations:Structural:Institutional: Interspersonal:
- Produced situationally in that they are related to specific times and places in rapidly changing and unstable geopolitical arenas not of our own individual making
- Produced structurally within the system of transnational capitalism under the control of global corporations, and are impacted by the social consequences of the free market that creates uneven power dispersal within the relations of production
- Produced institutionally through the imperializing racist patriarchal formations that make up government institutions, that are used to legitimize and maintain power for the ruling class
- Subjectivities are also formed interpersonally through the tenacious colonial expressions that mystify the continued historical development of unequal social relations

Class
class is not an economic condition or attached to an occupation, but is instead a social relation established through the private property system.
Dispossessed Class
Ruling Class
- all those who must labor in order to survive, which may manifest in self-employed, salary, wage, contract, reserve, unpaid, informal, enslaved, acapital, or deprived labor conditions
- those who do not need to work, because they use the social relations based on the private property system to continually expropriate collectively produced profit from social, political, or economic systems of accumulation
