A plongeur is a slave, and a wasted slave, doing stupid and largely unnecessary work. He is kept at work, ultimately, because of a vague feeling that he would be dangerous if he had leisure. And educated people, who should be on his side, acquiesce in the process, because they know nothing about him and consequently are afraid of him. ↗

The essence of oligarchical rule is not father-to-son inheritance, but the persistence of a certain world-view and a certain way of life ...

— George Orwell
