logical and I believe tells the truth about capitalism and the social darwinist views we were taught about in our public school many years ago, and how they framed the resistance to workers rights.

The results are the same as the Ayn Rand philosophy of how some people are just meant to be used up and discarded to profit the 'Supermen.' Standing in opposition to the often said, 'Equal Under God.'

That's not to me so much a term of subservience, but just a way to step back, and realize that we as humans ought to treat each other with respect. That none of us should have the right to prey on others or abuse them. It would be like attacking our own selves.
