I don't think that's the case, though. Endfield is a tech and construction company, and it does some resource extraction (e.g., mining the various marked mineral deposits for things like originium and iron, excuse me, ferrium), but the scale is quite small and the operations are stunningly clean by real-world standards. The mining machines are tiny and Their automatic factories exploit no workers, produce exactly zero waste products, emit nothing but useful products, and have vanishingly small footprints for industrial facilities, "the factory must grow" memes notwithstanding. The company's entire ethos appears to be about helping to make Talos-II more inhabitable and increase the global standard of living.

(They also appear to exist only on Talos-II, but I'm not really au courant with the extraplanetary lore, other than knowing that the original colonists came from Earth and then lost contact with same in the relatively distant past.)

TLDR: I think you may need to rewrite significant sections of A Marxist Interpretation of Arknights Endfield before you submit it to journals. :)
