The issue in Rome when Cicero was babbling concerned the intensity of exploitation.

On one side Julius Caesar, who stoutly maintained that unlimited exploitation would kill the goose. He was, _really_ in the framework of the time, the defender of the people, and the people knew it.

On the other side was Cicero. It was to protect unlimited squeezing of the masses that he joined the conspiracy of vampires to assassinate Caesar.
