I don't really care if you think it's unlikely. People dying of thirst where water-intensive, non-essential industries operate is empirically happening, now. It has happened in the past and will do so in future. Btw, poor people lacking influence is not consistent with how quite a lot of European nobles died or the vast array of modern working practices that are suboptimal from a capitalist's point of view. I'll leave the debate there since I've no interest in arguing a fictional universe.

> Btw, poor people lacking influence is not consistent with how quite a lot of European nobles died I believe people dying (noble or otherwise) is the recurring historical singularity we're trying to avoid; so we can both acknowledge that the poor can violently and quite temporarily gain political advantage while recognizing that during non-singular time periods (which is most of time) the converse is generally true.

Which European nobles do you have in mind? Europeans generally didn't kill off their nobles much. (Mostly the French Revolution and the Russian October Revolution come to mind.)
