Tom Walker:
That is the "beauty" of capitalist production.
"that it not only constantly reproduces the wage-worker as wage-worker,
but produces always, in proportion to the accumulation of capital, a relative
surplus population of wage-workers."

I believe capitalism is unique among all social systems in both creating and
depending on a large body of unemployed men and women.
What I've been wondering is whether neoliberalism reflects a conscious
recognition of this need on the part of leading capitalists and their
ideologues.
That would make sense of the determination of Germany to crush Greece, and the
support for this goal from other capitalist powers.
Chapter 14 of WPP seems to see austerity as an effective form of repressing
revolutionary activity by reducing workers to one level mass of wretches
incapable of any higher struggle.
