okay but have wealthy people tried instantiating a set of law and economic policies designed to remove the next best opportunities from ex-service workers, such that these former workers are effectively forced back into their roles due to lack of alternatives, and such that the wealthy can maintain the thin intellectual patina that because coercion was only implied and violence was never directly threated violence by their (the wealthy’s) own hand, they (everyone) live in a free and just society and they (the wealthy) are actually simply very good.
have they tried scaring him?
he’s making an interesting (if facile) analytical point here-- but of course it only really cuts against a lib sort of justification for being anti-war (it’s inefficient/costly).
but we are anti-imperial war and anti-poverty because we want dignity for the least well-off; slight losses to “efficiency” are contemplated, and obviously worth it.
What is she even trying to imply?
