How does oppression and exploitation work together?

Answer 1

if you as an erstwhile exploiter can oppress the potential or target exploitee, it is easier to exploit him or her oppressed people may suffer from low self-esteem and take direction easier. it is those darn self-confident self-loving slaves that make trouble. so it is best to oppress people before you attempt to exploit them.
that is why slavers always used whips and starvation and other cruelty on slaves before putting them to work.

pimps exploit oppressed poor women. seldom does a fully actuated independent woman become a whore by her own free choice. she is easier to turn out if she is poor and oppressed. then she is ripe to be exploited. etc etc
first the subject must be oppressed and then the exploiter can offer the exploitation
activity as a form of partial relief to the oppression i.e. will allow person to at least get food and avoid whip if they cooperate in the exploitation'
minmum wage jobs are a subtle and mild form of exploitation of the government and employers using desperate poor people to perform functions that are needed but difficult or unpleasant and possibly would command a higher wage if the people had any alternatives. that is why employers cosnspire with government to bring illegal mexican immigrants into USA so that they can be exploited. if mexico did not oppress them they would not be available or vulnerable for this exploitation

Answer 2
