Unless one is to completely write off whole classes of Americans one still needs certain people to make the system work. Let's start with one of the least glamorous of occupational groups: domestic servants. Rich people need them because they are too busy to do their own cooking, cleaning, and grounds care. We obviously need people to clean buildings, do oil changes and tune-ups, and wash cars. We need people to do delivery work. Obviously the hospitals need orderlies.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
