Not so, comrade from Darlington, even wearing my best Harris Tweed hat. I was using this analogy to make a comparison with the implied capitalist threat in an earlier posting to what occurred under the Soviet regime in Russia in the 1920's and 1930's. The workers can be just as much oppressed under Communism as under Capitalism.
While what you say is undoubtedly true, it still seems to me irrelevant. The comment you replied to was this:
The government are trying to get even more out the workforce for even less money. Public sector workers are being pushed to the limit.
I don't see any reference to capitalism per se in ralphchadkirk's point. It appears to be specifically a criticism of the current Government, not a criticism of capitalism.
