suffered, as a society, from a fundamental flaw: it required slaves.
Something similar can be said of the contemporary United States of America (and any other industrialized nation you care to mention):
these societies rely upon unpaid labor to care for the young and the elderly--unpaid labor,
and those who perform it receive no especially high status within the society.....
Yet, they accomplish more than the masters of war who appear on the screens of your propaganda machines, always telling us why we need more wars, more killing,
and more starvation.
More starvation? Well, of course, they don't put it that way. But, the wars they make do, of course, lead to a variety of human suffering, including starvation. And the policies which are dignified with the label "economic" plainly do so...
If you say that war is a crime containing within itself all crimes and all bad things (including starvation) you could say that this is the major contribution of most so-called leaders, but on account of the propaganda by our rulers, the word "war" seems to have lost its sting. It is more surprising to be told that starvation is one of their chief contributions to the world's disorder....
What are the components of human suffering? If you list and catalogue them, you will thereby have done much to characterize the deeds of our rulers....
