The incident involving a high-ranking official’s involvement in a fatal traffic accident in Hanoi serves as a catalyst for examining the nature of systemic injustice and state power. Rather than viewing such events solely through a Marxist lens of economic exploitation, the analysis incorporates perspectives from Joseph Schumpeter, Max Weber, and Milovan Djilas to distinguish between economic capital and political authority. Schumpeter highlights the separation of management skills from political rule, while Weber identifies the state as a monopoly on violence, independent of private ownership. Furthermore, Djilas’s concept of the "new class" explains how a managerial elite exerts control and maintains privilege through administrative position rather than traditional property ownership. This framework reveals that injustice often stems from the inherent logic of the state machine itself, which persists regardless of the underlying economic system.
