Panthenogenesis of Power – Part Two – Reproduction The text discusses how the concept of hostageship evolved through history to underpin systems of power, from feudalism to colonialism and slavery. It highlights how power was restructured during the American Revolution, maintaining the dynamics of oppression while shifting control among different elites. The logic of hostageship persisted, affecting entire populations.

Part II traces how hostage logic scaled from medieval elites to entire populations, then into colonialism, slavery, and the American founding. Power didn’t break — it reproduced.
