    It's got some real commentary on class conflict and labour going on in there too if you go digging for it. Kaburagi is

    spoiler

    basically a class traitor, the good kind. They united the workers this ep finding a collective benefit to their cooperative use of labour, and they're looking to organise the prisoners into a fighting force, this is heading towards real revolution.

      Kaburagi isn't bourgeoisie, he was a first-world worker placed in charge of exploiting third-worlder's and the job alienated him to the point of suicide until Natsume came along and gave him hope for a better world. His labour was being exploited as well by the corporation, but I suppose you could make the argument that he's labour aristocracy. Strong anti-colonial messaging.

        That's a fair re-assessment. @BioWarfarePosadist might enjoy this as he watched it with me.

        We could consider it a labour-aristocracy perhaps? They are VASTLY better off than the deca dence people and actively keep their existence a secret in order to exploit them, not even for their labour but merely for entertainment.

        Edit: Oh duhhhh I should read entire comments before I start my replies. You literally said that.
