symbionts & parasites & neoconservadroids

In Symbionts and Parasites, Ernest Partridge writes:
With the rise of so-called "neo-conservatism" (in fact, a radicalism), the investing class has transformed itself from an economic symbiont - prospering conjointly with its producer-partner - into an economic parasite - impoverishing its host, the workers, and thus, eventually, itself. Like a heart-worm devouring the source and sustenance of its very life, the oligarchs are squeezing the productivity and the disposable income from the workers, which is to say, the well-springs of the oligarch's wealth.
