    Yeah but none of that accounts for the cruelty and control.

    Keeping workers desperate and afraid makes it harder for them to unionize or stand up for themselves. If losing your job means losing access to life saving health insurance, people are less likely to take that risk.

      Cruelty should never be a factor in governing.

      You need some control, yes, but that can be acchived through trust and understanding rather than fear and intimidation.

      If you have a government that people can trust to keep them alive and in good health then people will have no reason to not fall in line
