I suggest we use “social murder” to describe the gun held to the working class head.

Social murder is a 19th-century concept introduced by Friedrich Engels in his 1845 book, The Condition of the Working-Class in England. It defines the premature, unnatural deaths of the working class caused by systemic neglect, exploitative living conditions, and calculated political or corporate abandonment.

#Engels argued that society and the ruling class are fully aware that their structural policies will lead to fatal consequences, yet they allow these deaths to happen for the sake of profit and economic convenience

The more things change….

"Usually, after a disagreement, they suggested i read this or that, often Marx, Lenin, or Engels. I preferred Ho Chi Minh, Kim II Sung, Che, or Fidel, but i ended up having to get into Marx and Lenin just to understand a lot of the speeches and stuff Huey Newton was putting out. It wasn't easy reading, but i was glad i did it. It opened up my horizons a hell of a lot. I didn't relate to them as the great white fathers or like some kind of gods, like some of the white revolutionaries did. As far as i was concerned, they were two dudes who had made contributions to revolutionary struggle too great to be ignored."
