Emmanuel-Joseph Sieyès (3 May 1748 – 20 June 1836) was a liberal philosopher active during the French Revolution. He described workers as "work machines" and "bipedal tools"[1] and promoted indentured servitude as the only way to escape poverty.[2] An extreme eugenicist, he proposed breeding Africans with monkeys to create a new race of slaves.[3]
