this is complaining about the state of nature dressed as political commentary. perhaps Mr Swinton could show an example of a society that would satisfy his definitions, but he cannot, because his complaint amounts to the fact that the world is flawed and no system is a utopia. In fact his central complaint, that we are slaves, is the same exact lesson taught in the story of Genesis from the oral history that predates Judaism. He is complaining that in life, we are cursed to work. You know, "the fall." A problem for every human since we became aware of the existence of the future. This isn't some cutting insight into the downfall of American society, it's just a complaint that the world is unfair. Well guess what? Get used to it. It's unfair in every system. This one is one of the more fair systems, though.
