Most people, the vast majority, of whom I am certainly not a member, would prefer some form of serfdom. Where their lives – as is more true in Europe – are heavily bounded by authorities who take responsibility for the world at scale. Ensure our welfare is never at risk. And our efforts, if we wish to expend them, are dedicated to the pursuit of surpluses – meaning ‘desires’ not needs.
