Beautiful political speech Vorlon.  The rich are killing the poor, so the poor need to at least be cognizant of this fact before than can begin to hope to do anything to fight back.

...Now, it's War on Workers.  The word War should conjure up awful and disturbing images.  Images of dislocation, relocation, poverty, bloodshed, and misery.

Those are precisely the things caused by being a member of the working class, angus.  They are dislocated due to insecurity of their positions, they must relocate often in a desperate search for toils, they usually (by definition really) live in poverty, they are often killed by workplace accidents, or crimes caused by economic deprivation in their cell-like housing, and the misery is a given.

Clever boy, but you see you have illustrated my point exactly.  One of desensitization.

Alas, it is you, angus, who underestimate the awfulness of the life of the working class.

We want bread, not guns.  Jobs, not war.  We're sick of war.  Or, at least, we should be.

Hah, yes, you softies.  Afraid we have to pass through a whole lot more 'war' (strife, misery, poverty, desperation, death, degradation, and yes, ultimately - and this is the key - anger) before we can get the actions which make jobs and bread.  And those actions are State actions angus.  Are we at 1930 Weimar or 1930 US-of-A?  Wait and see.
