Fear or Blood

Graeber defines Human Economy as reorganizing relations between people, while Rospabe Theory acknowledges these arrangements for reciprocating unpayable life-debt through material means. This is fascinating to consider from roots such as slave trade ports funded from European sugar-tobacco, but rely on locally situated cultures to delegate internal meaning of unpayable debt.

If mutual recognition of these spontaneous forms of debt paid through one set of identities recognized within African communities and yet another in European centers, how does this transition of meaning become materialized into goals like slave labor?

Creation of rules from Aro Confederacy ritual laws or Tiv Society of Witches fictional fines based from inequalities of “strong heart” are seemingly accepted forms of violence that rely on fear and sense of unknowable group obligation. How do you protest against norms that presently threaten life, but are codified by greater organizational structures accepted by neighbors and not fully understood?

When internal local African human economies seem founded on codes that relegate life imbibing means for external European resource ends, where does one exchange end and another fully paid? Underlying physical or mental qualities that merit quantifiable acceptance by both cultures seems reasonable area to focus on like reproduction and self-protection. However, I think both groups leave unknowable sustainability limits of these quantifiable qualities to their overall society consensus, which by my guesstimate are unlikely to distinguish universal meanings of that caliber without some disagreement.
