  • Southern oligarchs turned to debt and the KKK to promote control

  • Add in targeted usage of anti-drug laws
  • Convict labor is discreetly legal slavery
  • Medical debt is uniquely American
  • Organizations devolve into an oligarchy when they are large enough to maintain a managerial class
  • “We are keeping you safe”
