Yes, but in order for that to happen, you’d need to have leverage with which to convince the upper echelons to act against their own short-term interests. Humans being, well, human beings, they’re not going to generally be inclined to do so. If they were, after all… they already would have. Which is one of the ways a parallel, independent framework can help provide the innovation/improvement.

The leverage is that the decadent and the corrupt will be exposed and ousted.

Growing up in the Caldari State I would describe myself in terms of my ethical and moral beliefs as that of a utilitarianist – that the greater good of the corporation and the State takes precedence over my own needs.

As such, I can accept the adverse material conditions of the Caldari working class so long as such conditions by those in that position serve a far greater need and purpose. I feel they do. The sacrifices of the Caldari worker permit greater spending on the military-industrial complex and the soldiery of the State in order to undertake the greatest of all goods demanded of a citizen – the continued survival and existence of the Caldari State in the realm of armed conflicts against its adversaries.

Compared to that, the agitation of unsanctioned labour groups seems to me the province of sophistry by self-interested demagogues who seek to politik about the individual costs that current workplace conditions incur for their own ends without any recognition that such conditions are necessary for the collective defense of the Caldari people.

I agree, but I believe that embracing austerity in order to benefit the collective should not be limited to the workers. The way of our people demands the same from all citizens.
