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….
