To stop the oligarchs people either need to storm the gates or create their own virtual economy. Given the fact of the apathy of much of the world and being adverse to bloodshed, things are clearly swinging to the abandonment of the fiat and corporate controlled economy as the way of rebellion. Local networks of share and global digital networks of alternative tokens are the new alternatives to weapons. By abandoning the old system the scheme slowly dies being exposed for the insider trading, plutocratic, and rentier scam it has become.
This is subversion via abandonment as more and more look to the alternatives the blockchain offers of transparency and accountability. In the terminal stage IV of exploitative capitalism new alliances of decentralized networks and pockets of local economies will redefine work, leisure, productivity, and integration of automated activities alongside the traditional cultural activities of humans. This will be the new societal balance in civilization orientated around science, technology, and respect for world cultures.
The current path of the U.S. is an unsustainable death trap and debt trap as more is extorted and exported from U.S. main street. Corporations traditionally nurtured by U.S. laborers and weened on tax breaks now have no allegiance and if they already haven’t left the U.S., they are more interested in catering to the Chinese markets, which have now surpassed U.S. consumer power. There is not enough money in the U.S. to be a military superpower, a corporate welfare supporter, and to pamper the oligarchs with tax breaks without robbing the country of decent healthcare, education, transportation, R&D, and other essential infrastructure.
There is no longer a union of the land… it is clearly us vs. THEM. This land ain’t no longer made for you and me.
