    I wonder if there’s a specific name for that dynamic by which the ruling class separates work from reward so that they can keep the reward of other people’s work for themselves, then ends up conplaining that nobody wants to work any more.

      Yeah. Separation from the results of work is a fucking issue. I do wish the old philosophers on this would get a new English translation. “Alienation from labor” is a fucking mouthful.
