Not necessarily. You know, people _are_ different, and their social
positions are most often only a reflection of their differences, not
the other way around. Classifying someone as "worker" or "warrior"
isn't anti-human. It's anti-human to say that we're all the same. It's
also exploitative and should be vanquished from the face of the earth.
