Not in the sense that it posits the immiseration of an entire class, no. It is, however, something that people can understandably project and magnify into such. It does talk about the misery of a consolidated mass of surplus population and contrasts their *misery* to the *torture* that they would experience as labourers. The "tortured" are not necessarily immiserated in the economic sense of not having werewithal for securing the necessities of life. One might, however, feel that it is miserable in another sense to undergo "torture in the form of labour." -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
