(1,563 posts)32. Terror?
You could simply have them retire in the lifestyle they are acclimated to or something like it, hardly any terror there. It would simply be the society telling this class of people that times have changed, we are in a new economic epoch and their safety will be preserved but they no longer have the same privileges they did before. One could even offer them positions as managers in the new worker directed industries, the wouldn't get disproportionate influence and profit like they do now but they would still be rewarded for their work. No terror necessary.
