 20 million people voluntarily work for their oppressor. Another 20 million work for the vassals (state and local) of the oppressor. Around 3 million literally bear arms and kill people for their oppressor. 90 million collect some kind of financial benefit from their oppressor. 12 million collect pension payments for their prior service to their oppressor.

I gotta hand it to them - socialism is a strong magnet for loyalty to the oppressor. Like feudalism, the proles don't even know that they are being oppressed.
