The growing sensitivity towards animal (and plant) life and rights and the seemingly unstoppable extension of the circles of inclusion are not the whole picture, though. This compassion does not extend to those groups of humans that are seen as enemies or simply useless. Uselessness in any economic sense is the fate of a large part of the population in the post-industrial age, where robots can and will assume a lot of tasks hitherto reserved for the human labor force. According to the insightful considerations of Yuval Noah Harari, this will bring about significant changes in the fate of the masses as compared to the social development of the working class in the 19th and 20th centuries.

The global Scandinavia will not be accessible for all. It will be reserved for a minority of people, whereas the bulk of the global population will be "useless" and hence subject to less resources and rights. As natural resources (like water) are becoming more scarce, and social resources like health care and education becomes more efficient, expensive and complex, their allocation will be more differentiated - and will result in the exclusion of the global (sub-) proletariat.

The fight for resources has already begun (water-wars). There is a growing global sub-proletariat without economic function and with no possible integration. They do not live in a coherent territory, but within nation states and mega-cities (see crime maps). The consequence: an ever deeper cleavage between a kind of Scandinavian world of the good, rich, and beautiful - and a sad and dark world of the have-nots in terms of material wealth, education, and welfare, the new Helotes.


If we want to imagine the future, we should have a look at the emergent systems of mass control in today's world, where restrictions of access to citizenship, social services, and rights are already being tested.

#Repression. Populations with decimated rights living in poverty and a de facto Hobbesian state of nature (repeated or prolonged states of emergency, suffering from extended police and military campaigns and powers, raids, maltreatment, torture, extrajudicial killings, permanent war on terror).
#Repression. Populations with decimated rights living in poverty and a de facto Hobbesian state of nature (repeated or prolonged states of emergency, suffering from extended police and military campaigns and powers, raids, maltreatment, torture, extrajudicial killings, permanent war on terror). Fragile truces will be the new normal, with deaths by political violence from above and below, including extrajudicial killings and social cleansings.
#Exclusion. Restricted citizen rights, e.g. "hukou" in China - a kind of passport system, which limits access to public services, based on the birthplace of the holder. First established in 1954 to immobilise China's large rural population, it is still a central instrument of population control. The rural population and migrant workers do not enjoy the citizenship rights that international conventions see as essential. - Divide et impera: varying types of passports with differentiated access rights for different subjugated populations. Restrictions of movement (see: Egyptian military policy in the Sinai Peninsula 2017/2018). - Withholding citizenship (Rohingy in Myanmar).
#Exclusion. With universalism retreating, parochial altruism (in-group coherence) and xenofobia are drawing new moral boundaries between classes and races.

Restrictions of movement (see: Egyptian military policy in the Sinai Peninsula 2017/2018). - Withholding citizenship (Rohingy in Myanmar). Denizenship: instead of full citizenship, the Helotes will be ruled by a differential system of entitlements and access rules, pitting them against each other through indirect rule (Bantustans, patrolled no-gone zones etc.). Resource allocation will be in the hands of the powerful and their quislings. Incursions and arbitrary arrests and killings will be embedded in that new kind of governance.
#New Ethics and Legal Philosophy: While the criminal code condemns all murder, law-in-action follows a second code. By and by, what started as the split between the first and second code, will tend to be justified politically and enshrined in formal law. Extended shoot-to-kill-powers for police. See: [[Police killings]] Example: Stephon Clark. Or: Rodrigo Duterte's policy in the Philippines.  


These populations are not in chattel slavery, they are not possession of individual slave owners. Rather, they could be compared to earlier precedents where people were without rights because they were seen as possession of the state. One example that comes to mind is that of the helots (εἵλωτες), a subjugated population group that formed the main population of Laconia and Messenia, the territory controlled by ancient Sparta in the first millenium B.C.; while their exact status was disputed - some put them between free men and slaves while others called them "slaves to the utmost" - their function was clear: tied to the land, they primarily worked in agriculture and economically supported the Spartan citizens, whom they outnumbered by around seven to one. This also may explain the methods of control used by the Spartans, who regularly and even ritually mistreated, humiliated and even slaughtered helots: every autumn the Spartan ephors (a superior council of five men) would declare war on the helots so they could be killed (by the Krypteia - κρυπτεία) without fear of repercussion. All this having the effect that uprisings and attemtps to improve the helot's lot remained unsuccessful.
