The passage given below is followed by four alternate summaries. Choose the option that best captures the essence of the passage.

And the unemployed worker will find many others in a similar condition and with anxieties similar to his, which will make it easier for them to organize together. Using the cover and the political organization provided by the distressed, the capitalist captures the political agenda.
