Yeah, you're right, and that's a thoughtful way to put it which addresses the actual power dynamics and nuance: ANY system is going to have an incentive to divide and conquer. I'm looking at the above two statements:

>> @mgol94 Capital owners always want to split the workers to more and more groups so it’s easier to antagonize and manage them

>> @nkmnz Communists always want to de-individualize humans into a single group with a coherent identity so it's easier to ideologize and agitate them.

And I don't disagree with either of them per se, on the merits, but I see in both of them a major flaw in the way the point is argued.
