    In order to retain control, they need to make sure that the “enforcement class” continues to receive the benefits that the working class at large is denied. This has mainly been used with the army, but it’ll be spread out into ICE which will probably become increasingly militarised over time (not saying they aren’t already, just that they will be more militarised).

      Extremely good take.

      The “enforcement class” expands where manufacturing jobs and the “service sector” recede. It might be as large as one fifth of the whole economy.
