"Robot-democracy
In a robot-democracy, nobody is willing to serve, / even work is unwilling, the worker is unwilling, unwilling. / The great grind of unwillingness, the slow undergrind of hate / and democracy is ground into dust / then the millstones burst with the internal heat of their own friction."
D. H. Lawrence, Pansies [1930]
