The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from King Henry VI by William Shakespeare: The thief doth fear each bush an officer.
KING HENRY.

With trembling wings misdoubteth every bush;

organised like soldiers. As privates of the industrial army they
are placed under the command of a perfect hierarchy of officers
and sergeants. Not only are they slaves of the bourgeois class,
