This is where philosophy and tenets collide with reality, oily.
At current capabilities of productivity you can provide the societies needs employing very few people. You end up with more and more proles just servicing other proles via "trickle down" from the high productive (alleged) producers.
Again, it's easier if you just kill the unneeded people. Short of that, it's just a senseless argument of what you're going to do with them. What resources they're going to be allowed to have ..and who determines what those levels are.
