Slavoj Žižek gave a lecture entitled:
Under capitalism 80 percent of the population are simply disposable.
Ultimately, he's right, but the notorious "checks and balances",

will ensure (short of nuclear war)
that 80 percent is not actually disposed of...
except, of course, the unimportant people in Syria
and at least 80% of the world...
