Perhaps no concept has shaped discussions of capitalism and its contemporary transformations more than that of ongoing primitive accumulation. This paper examines, accounts for, and unpacks how primitive accumulation came, within a certain genre of conversations, to be so central. While there have been prior critiques of its usage, notably by Robert Brenner, few have returned to the source of the modern framing of the concept, Rosa Luxemburg. Through a discussion of David Harvey’s updating of primitive accumulation as accumulation by dispossession, I return to Luxemburg in order to extract two methodological principles from her work: follow the production of aspects of accumulation and think their organic link and track violence. I then deploy these methodological principles in a discussion of certain critical processes of accumulation in contemporary Mexico to demonstrate the spatialized “organic link” of Luxemburg and Harvey has been violently reconstituted.

也许没有任何一个概念比正在进行的原始积累更能塑造对资本主义及其当代变迁的讨论。本文研究，说明并解说原始积累在某种类型的对话中是如何变得如此重要的。尽管以前有对其使用的批评，尤其是罗伯特·布伦纳（Robert Brenner）的批评，但很少有人回到这个概念的现代框架之源，罗莎·卢森堡（Rosa Luxemburg）。通过讨论戴维·哈维（David Harvey）将原始积累转化为通过剥夺进行积累的讨论，我回到卢森堡，以从她的工作中提取出两种方法学原理：跟踪积累方面的产生，并思考它们的有机联系并追踪暴力。
