efficient tools

One of the features of contemporary economic systems is what's called flexibility in labour markets. That's considered a wonderful thing. Labour markets are supposed to be flexible. It's a fancy way of saying you don't know when you go to sleep at night whether you have a job tomorrow morning. And that contributes to efficiency. Anybody who's taken an economics course understands that you get more efficiency if people have no security. They don't know what's going to happen to them tomorrow. And then you can move them around, it's just like a tool.
If you had to worry about whether the tool was going to be happy it would be inefficient. If the tool can be treated just like a piece of metal you use if if you want, you throw it away if you don't want it...
So if you can get human beings to become tools like that it's more efficient by some measure of efficiency. An ideological measure but a measure. A measure of which is based on dehumanisation. You have to dehumanise it - that's part of the system.
