This article reconstructs David Harvey’s accumulation by dispossession (ABD) theory aimed at explaining the specifics of capital accumulation under neoliberal capitalism. Reaching back to the thought of Marx and Rosa Luxemburg, Harvey proposed an impressive theory of qualitative change within the capitalist mode of production. However, as his critics have convincingly presented, Harvey’s concept struggles with the problems presented in the text. The solution to these problems appears to be the school of “world-ecology”, analyzed here on the example of one of its representatives, Jason W. Moore. By solving the problems that Bin and Ras wrote about, it creates the possibility for APW to become a theory that shows a certain continuum of quantitative change within capitalism. In other words, Moore’s research perspective creates new perspectives for the application of APW.

This article deals with issues in the field of enslavement and agency. Slavery is understood as an area of political science research located at the intersection of issues of political agency and theories of power. In the first part, slavery is treated as a form of enslavement, and other forms of enslavement are presented using a modified, four-part scheme proposed by Szymon Wróbel. The second part describes some fields of transgression, emancipation and agency.

The article is dedicated to the issue of magic and religion in the social reality of capitalism. The goal of the article is to present  examples proving that capitalism in various places (post-communist Central Europe, San Cristobal in the Mexican state of Chiapas, Colombian department Valle del Cauca, New York) and at various times (from the 1970s to the second decade of the 21st century) was associated with elements of religion and magic through social thinking and practice, and therefore elements of social reality. On the other hand, in the discourse, capitalism is often presented as a part of nature: the existence that acts objectively, like the laws of physics. In the article, this apparent contradiction is presented as a dialectical aspect of the present day, in which the discourse and social reality are complementary.

The article is dedicated to an issue of Eurocentrism in American political scientist Samuel P. Huntington's concept of the clash of civilisations. The arguments presented indicate that Huntington's concept is pure Eurocentric. I start by mentioning a few of Huntington's critics (Noam Chomsky, Samir Amin, Arjun Appadurai, and John M. Hobson). The next step includes analysing in detail the "Eurocentrism anatomy" and presenting Eurocentrism as a phenomenon based on two axes, which I call "materialistic" and "epistemological". In other words, Eurocentrism is a kind of spectrum. Thanks to that, I compare Huntington's concept with facts from literature embedded in both axes. Apart from other arguments, Eurocentric factors in the clash of civilisations are 1) civilisations in the past, 2) origin of the West, 3) demographic argument, and 4) the downfall of the West. I argue that the clash of civilisations is based on false, Eurocentric assumptions and prejudices.
