Mike Kelly write in passing, as if it were an obvious fact, that between
factory owner and worker a zero-sum game is being played: what one wins,
the other loses.  This isn't obvious at all.  More probably, the aphorism
"United we stand, divided we fall" applies.  When workers and owners pull
together, both win more than either could get from fighting.  Look at
Japan, for example.  That's how they win, not by low wages or poor living
conditions for the workers.  Treating owners and workers as if they were
natural adversaries is how "Great" Britain has fallen so sadly, and how
North America may follow into the limbo of history.
