Rumors of the demise of the parasite class are always exaggerated. They only get larger until they kill the host. This is but a temporary setback; they'll soon find a way to be commissars again.
Gleichschaltung. But this time it's emerging naturally, because that's what gets the most engagement. Turns out exploiting the demonically oppressed is one hell of a cash cow, and has taken on such a life of its own as to be in the drivers' seat.

This is essentially standard practice for any political party that's worth anything. Push hot-button, receev bacon
It's at least cheap. Sounds like it has to be constantly charging and discharging to stay at temperature. Not clear as to the lifespan either. Nickel irons probably still make more sense.
