I've heard of this book. Its one of those Dystopias, that seem have been prophetic. I mean, I'm sure the Elon's of the world thing it's beautiful.

I can't read it for you.
IF you want to know why 'the greatest system the world has ever known' crapitalism has led us to this dystopia where we are killing children for being on the wrong side of a fence, and could do nothing else, by design, you gotta read it for yourself.
You've heard of 1984 and BNW because those serve the narrative, they don't talk about The Iron Heel because they know what happens if they do.

"And in passing we note that that historic phrase, the Iron Heel, originated in Ernest Everhard's mind.This, we may say, is the one moot question that this new-found document clears up. Previous to this, the earliest-known use of the phrase occurred in the pamphlet, ^'Ye Slaves," written by George Milford and pubhshed in December, 1912. This George Milford was an obscure agitator about whom nothing is known, save the one additional bit of information gained from the Manuscript, which mentions that he was shot in the Chicago Commune."

Reading through it now, stay out of the Chicago Commune, is my take away thus far @antisocialist.

On a tangential note I am curious to know how automation and AI will make us consider labor in another two decades.

Ai and bots won't take that long to end most low skill employment.

Yes, large groups of starving people are likely to attack any that are not of them.

So, what did you take away from his characterization of crapitalism in chapter 9?
The design is for all the money to accrue to the top.
The large concerns to swallow the smaller ones.

Until the restofus burn down the town, again.

I haven't got that far, just parsed the early matter. Hadn't read London in a bit, and he's an enjoyable read regardless of the context.

I'll make some notes though when I get a bit further.

!lolz, I forgot that the commune is mentioned in the forward, it comes back in chapter 22.

Once you've read the book, and grokked what it said, you will likely know why they don't mention this book in their hysteria to perpetuate 1984 and BNW.

When you get ready, if you like, I will turn you on to the book that forced me to accept that I was communist.
It was written in 1887 and the author thought we would have fixed things by now, but nope.

It was quite a shock, having been an-crap for many years up to that point, I was some months in adjusting my thinking.
It did explain why the og anarchists hated crapitalism soooo much.

I found both of those books, in paperback, in a very exclusive, small library.
It just went to prove that authority wasn't reading the books there, either.
You let the slaves read the wrong books and they never accept their enslavement peacefully ever again.

Did you hear about the kidnapping at school?
It’s fine he woke up.
