they are proposing a human body factory for producing humans. you're the one calling them wage slaves. it's some gruesome Frankenstein shit but has nothing to do with C word
Why do they need more humans? For workers obviously.
You know what happens when workers become scarce? They are no longer expendable, which means each person has more employment power. This happened after the black death. So many peasants died that the power dynamic shifted and they were free to choose their employers.
They are heavily invested in keeping the population up.
