Under-Class (~14-16% of all Purgation households)
The final social class below even the powerless 'lower-class' which is dependent upon, and vulnerable to, the economic decisions undertaken by the ruling 'upper-class' of capital investors who control and command their labour, is the under-class of enslaved Dysfonctionnel being forced to work against their will in the country's over 49,000 'liquidation facilities', as part of an ongoing genocidal project currently being perpetrated against the Dysfonctionnel for their ostensibly perverse, disordered, and parasitical genotypes, to be exterminated and eradicated, slowly and gradually, through the technique of so-called 'liquidation through labour'. Such persons make up the so-called 'under-class' of the stratified PNL Purgation society because they are not merely powerless and dependent like the Purgation 'lower-class' of wage-labourers, but are reduced to being mere assets to generate capital income for the financial capital-owning 'upper-class', as accrued through privatised 'concession contracts' and des profits à prendre financial products structured as derivatives linked or pegged to the profits earned out of these brutal 'liquidation facilities' of Dysfonctionnel slave labourers toiling away, the victims of a genocidal exterminatory project forming the foundational basis of the dominant wealth and power of the present Purgation ruling class.
The presence of the Dysfonctionnel plays a critical role in maintaining and upholding the present social structure of PNL Purgatio. The most obvious sense in which this is true is, of course, economic. The Dysfonctionnel are slave labourers being slowly worked to death against their will for the profit of the owners and operators of the country's 'liquidation facilities', be they the PICOS organisation or private for-profit concessionaires. As the Dysfonctionnel constitute roughly 14-16% of the Purgation population, and with the total number of Dysfonctionnel languishing and suffering within Purgation 'liquidation facilities' ranging from between 338.33 million and 380.65 million slave workers, the annual profits from the Purgation 'liquidation facilities' are enormous and easily run into tens of trillions of Élites annually, constituting an enormously fruitful and profitable resource presently being exploited by the Purgation ruling class. The Dysfonctionnel are thus the main source of the upper class's economic power and the indispensable reason for the unusual and supranormal productivity of their financial capital and the profitabilty of their investments, and consequently, they (or, more accurately, their forced labour) confer upon the PNL oligarchical clique the critical resources needed to keep the PNL one-party regime in power and to efficaciously maintain their control over the rest of Purgation society.
In addition to the direct profits garnered by the slave labour of the Dysfonctionnel, there are also the indirect economic benefits which are conferred upon the Purgation upper-class (and, to a lesser extent, upon the 'mass affluent' middle-class as well). First of all, the present system of 'concession contracts' over the country's many 'liquidation facilities' represents a key source of revenue for the Purgation government, which would otherwise have to be paid for through tax rate increases or cuts to public spending. Due to the trillions of Élites earned every year from regular payments made to the Purgation Ministry of Commerce and International Trade by private concessionaires under these 'concession contracts' (as well as the additional sums earned from auctioning off these long-term 'concession contracts' at closed yet highly-competitive auctions), the PNL government can afford to keep taxes low, with a top personal income tax rate of only 10.9% (with an average household tax bill of just 9.4%), a low corporate tax rate of 6.4%, and no taxes at all on almost all forms of capital income or capital asset-ownership (i.e., no capital gains tax, no dividends tax, or interest income tax, no stamp duties or financial transactions taxes, no inheritance or estate taxes, no gift taxes, no property tax, etc.), with the bulk of fiscal revenues being generated from 'concession contract' payments, fines levied on a whole host of minor offences, and various other forms of mostly regressive taxation (value-added taxes, sales taxes, excise taxes, 'sin taxes' on various vices, import duties, payroll taxes, etc.), amounting to a tax structure that severely favours wealthy capital owners and, consequently, confers a massive benefit to the capital-owning upper-class and, to a lesser extent, the 'mass affluent' middle-class with a sizeable amount of investible financial capital as well, which is critical to enable the PNL regime to retain the support of the Purgation upper-class and middle-class, which were, and remain to this day, the core support base of the current PNL party. This tax structure can only be maintained, however, through the current system of 'concession contract' payments, otherwise the PNL regime would either be forced to raise taxes on the wealthy and the middle-class (thereby alienating all of their supporters) or, alternatively, cut spending in the most important and hefty sectors of government outlays and expenditures, which are, of course, the Purgation military, law enforcement, secret police, and other national security agencies, in other words, all the critical State organs which enable the PNL regime to maintain its repressive power and to inflict State violence (or the threat thereof) upon potential dissidents and opponents, with either option clearly amounting to policy choices which would hurt and undermine the stability of the PNL's current grip on power.
This is not the only indirect economic benefit conferred by the slave labour of the Dysfonctionnel. Another effect of the present system of privatised 'concession contracts' is that it vastly improves the bargaining power of corporations at the expense of the lower-class of wage-labourers who are dependent upon these companies for paid employment, since the forced labour of the Dysfonctionnel amounts to a form of cheap competition which depresses the wages of the lowest-paid workers in the Purgation State whilst vastly increasing the disposability and replaceability of menial, laborious, or unskilled labour, rendering most low-income workers in the country extremely dispensable to their employers, to the extent that their labour can be replaced by, or substituted with, the more easily and directly exploitable slave labour of the Dysfonctionnel in 'liquidation facilities'. This starkly unequal bargaining position keeps the cost of labour low, for both enslaved and unenslaved labour alike, ensuring that the PNL regime will always retain the support of the Purgation business community, local and foreign corporations, and by extension, the support of the upper-class and (to a lesser extent) the middle-class, who have together reaped the financial benefits and rentier profits accrued from their financial capital investments into these companies. In this way, the presence of the Dysfonctionnel slave labourers represents yet another tool in the arsenal of the Purgation ruling class of capital owners to further control the lower-class and keep Purgation wage-labourers in an evermore vulnerable and dependent position.
In addition to these more obvious direct and indirect economic benefits, however, the Dysfonctionnel play an even more important role in preserving the present stratified social order of the PNL-ruled Purgation State by keeping the Purgation lower-classes under control, in a variety of ways. First, the presence of the Dysfonctionnel serves a crucial deterrent to potential dissidents or other aspects of the Purgation populace - especially the economically deprived Purgation 'lower-class' - against engaging in any riotous or disorderly behaviour that could threaten the stability of the present Purgation regime, as any such conduct, if caught by the nation's highly militarised and empowered police forces, could result in genetic re-classification, condemned to a terrible fate of extermination via 'liquidation through labour' or being worked to death. Consequently, the present treatment of the Dysfonctionnel is not only a eugenical measure, but also functions as a form of de facto social control on a broader level. Second, the Dysfonctionnel serve as a convenient scapegoat for the present PNL regime and propagandist PNL-aligned media outlets to blame the country's various social and economic problems on. Given the prevailing PNL regime's propagandist narrative that demonises the Dysfonctionnel as 'genetically disordered', a biologically pathological and perverse force tending towards 'parasitical' traits and behaviours, nearly every economic or social problem assailing the Purgation people is generally attributed by the PNL regime and PNL-aligned media outlets to either foreign nations (said to be dominated by, and under the boot-heel of, their own local Dysfonctionnel run amok) or the un-arrested, un-discovered, and un-liquidated Dysfonctionnel within Purgation borders (be it illegal immigrants who crossed the border irregularly, or Dysfonctionnel infants and new-borns harboured from the medical authorities from birth, or runaway Dysfonctionnel who escaped from police custody, or Dysfonctionnel who have yet to be discovered as such and re-classified, or Dysfonctionnel insurgent fighters and militants in the ongoing GEM resistance or terrorist movement (depending on one's perspective), or Dysfonctionnel who have staged successful slave revolts who broke out of their 'liquidation facilities' and fled to the outskirts of the country, etc., etc.), there are no shortage of foreign and local Dysfonctionnel who can be blamed for practically any problem or trouble assailing the PNL regime in some way. Economic downturns or recessions can be blamed on the Dysfonctionnel for committing property crimes that sap the nation's economic productivity, and for perpetrating drug crimes and organised crimes which are a 'parasitical' leech on the nation's total productive output. Rising unemployment can be blamed on illegal immigrants crossing the border irregularly and 'moonlighting' in secret without the knowledge of the authorities. Worsening inflation can be blamed on the Dysfonctionnel for burdening social services and inflating government outlays and expenditures by abusing the country's highly-limited social services through welfare fraud and the indolence of dependency upon various social services (such as temporary jobseeker assistance, healthcare subsidies, or educational grants and scholarships). Sporadic terrorist attacks by the GEM insurgency movement are always framed by PNL-aligned media outlets as proof of the broader pathological and perverse tendencies of the Dysfonctionnel as a whole, by virtue of their genomes, and the same tactic is employed for any inner-city riots of poor, low-income Purgation youth (especially in deprived neighbourhoods), such violent and disruptive incidents are always seized upon and weaponised by the Purgation media and the authorities to paint the entire Dysfonctionnel community as a pathologically 'parasitical' force that burdens the rest of the Purgation populace and whose mere existence serves to drain the lifeblood and productivity of the Purgation national people's community at the expense of the regular 'genetically healthy' Sain, the implicit (or sometimes explicit) suggestion being simply that if the Dysfonctionnel did not exist at all, the Purgation people would be much safer, happier, and more economically prosperous overall. By virtue of such a narrative, practically every social or economic problem troubling the Purgation people can be blamed, in some way or another, on the existence of such Dysfonctionnel persons, both within and without, with the PNL regime no longer being framed as the cause of the country's ills, but the solution, a benign force that is attempting to do their best to control and suppress the genetically 'parasitical' disposition and tendencies of a 'genetically disordered' internal sub-group which is the true source and origin of the nation's woes.
Finally, the existence of the Dysfonctionnel allows the PNL regime and the ruling class to push for an alternative identity for the lower-classes to accept and embrace, in contradistinction to either a class-based identity (i.e., a member of the lower-class identifying as part of a broader oppressed, persecuted, and marginalised 'lower-class') or an anti-government political identity (e.g., as a liberal or pro-democracy activist opposed to the present autocratic structure of the PNL one-party regime), by cultivating a new national identity of the 'genetically healthy' Purgation national community, filled with an inherently and biologically superior populace by virtue of decades of proper eugenic policies and genetic selection, keeping a proper check upon (and actively suppressing, through State action) the degenerative and dysgenic effects of the 'disordered' elements of the national gene-pool which would be the avowed inevitable result of allowing the Dysfonctionnel to run wild and breed and procreate freely amongst the Purgation populace, spreading their perverse genes, contaminating and polluting healthy blood-lines, and consequently perpetuating and exacerbating their 'parasitical' traits and tendencies at the expense of the health and vitality of the Purgation community. This narrative provides the Purgation people with an alternative identity to embrace, a racial-genetic identity rooted in ultranationalism, populist elitism, and a sense of both personal and communal superiority, allowing an ordinary Sain citizen of Purgatio to feel superior to both foreigners and foreign nations and peoples (i.e., as part of a eugenic and genetically 'superior' gene-pool in contradistinction to foreign population groups whose genetic health has 'degraded' and declined over time due to the unchecked dysgenic tendencies of their Dysfonctionnel) as well as the local Dysfonctionnel who are said to be inherently, biologically, and naturally inferior to the ordinary Sain Purgations, the latter of whom are naturally inclined by virtue of their genes towards healthy, productive, and contributive traits and tendencies (as opposed to the naturally parasitical tendencies of the Dysfonctionnel). This is a very psychologically attractive narrative for many ordinary Purgations to embrace, since it is inherently flattering and panders to the normal human psychological and emotional tendency to want to embrace a worldview that is more ego-boosting and self-validating, being consistent with a more pleasing and edifying self-image or self-perception overall. This alternative national and racial-genetic identity - viz., as a member of a 'genetically healthy' national community and as a Purgation Génétiquement Sain - clearly works in the favour of the present PNL regime, since it encourages all Purgations to self-identify with the ruling class and the existing PNL government, as being 'on the same side' or the 'same team', forming part of a broader unified national community of 'genetically healthy' Purgations with a common racial-genetic interest, who must unite, show solidarity, and stand together as one against both the internal and external Dysfonctionnel of the world at large, to preserve their own 'genetic health' and natural biologically-ingrained productivity.
Consequently, it is no exaggeration to state that the existence of the under-class of Dysfonctionnel is crucial to keeping the PNL regime in power, not only because of the economic benefits to the PNL elite from enslaving and exploiting the Dysfonctionnel slave labourers being worked to death in an ongoing genocidal 'liquidation through labour' campaign, but the additional social and political benefits as well in reinforcing PNL propaganda and its organs and methods of social control. In short, the PNL regime needs the Dysfonctionnel to survive and to remain relevant as a political force within Purgation society. This is why, more than three decades later, the PNL one-party regime clings onto its slave labour economy of privatised 'concession contracts' over Purgation 'liquidation facilities', even in the midst of changing social and economic trends such as globalisation, deindustrialisation, technological innovations, and automated labour, because of the essential and indispensable role that the continuing exploitation of the Dysfonctionnel plays in propping up the ruling PNL government. Even as the Dysfonctionnel grow increasingly riotous and rebellious, with 'slave revolts' and 'slave rebellions' increasing in frequency every year and with more and more Dysfonctionnel slave labourers attempting to stage risky revolts and violent takeovers of 'liquidation facilities', endangering and slaughtering corporate handlers, concessionaire taskmasters and factory floor supervisors, and PICOS troopers and guards alike, and the fiscal cost to the PNL government of guarding such 'liquidation facilities' and keeping the Dysfonctionnel sufficiently deterred and under control continues to climb, nevertheless, the PNL regime simply cannot afford to abandon its present 'rentier-genocidal' economic model, and in that sense, it can perhaps be said that the Purgation ruling class is somewhat trapped by, and shackled to, the very same social and economic structure that it has created and established to maintain and preserve its own power.
