"When one individual inflicts bodily injury upon another such injury that
death results, we call the deed manslaughter; when the assailant knew in
advance that the injury would be fatal, we call his deed murder. But when
society places hundreds of proletarians in such a position that they
inevitably meet a too early and an unnatural death, one which is quite as
much a death by violence as that by the sword or bullet; when it deprives
thousands of the necessaries of life, places them under conditions in which
they cannot live -- forces them, through the strong arm of the law, to
remain in such conditions until that death ensues which is the inevitable
consequence -- knows that these thousands of victims must perish, and yet
permits these conditions to remain, its deed is murder just as surely as
the deed of the single individual; disguised, malicious murder, murder
against which none can defend himself, which does not seem what it is,
because no man sees the murderer, because the death of the victim seems a
natural one, since the offence is more one of omission than of commission.
But murder it remains."

Condition of the Working Class in England, by F. Engels, 1845
