"Inequality demands oppression. The more concentrated wealth and power become, the more those who challenge the rich and powerful must be hounded and crushed."
This is what is happening in Britain today with the jailing of nonviolent environmental protesters. We should this to continue under Labour.

@hesgen the corollary to "inequality demands oppression" is that for someone to gain power, someone else must lose power. We can aspire to reach a level playing field without the need to "hound and crush" the rich themselves - but I'm not ready to take it off the table yet.
