Gonna steal this graphic. right on point.
Yep. The U.S. Gini coefficient is certainly pointing at it.
I wonder if Karl Marx, who said
Capitalism is a
revolutionary force that would inevitably self-destruct, believed the vehicle for the destruction of Capitalism would be a revolutionary force.
I've heard that he thought it would just sort of collapse when people in labor AND business figured out that the Capitalist ideology of "perpetual hoarding" and inveterate "greedism" unraveled the fabric of decent society too much to be worth the bother. He was, unfortunately, wrong about that.
The Capitalist/Fascist elite rampaging over we-the-people of the entire world, now using in-our-faces force and fraud more than ever ever, are firmly convinced that it is better to reign in Hell than to serve in Heaven, so to speak. They have no respect for "quaint" social behaviors that foster and reward altruism, harmony, cooperation, biosphere life sustaining math, and so on, despite the fact that these behaviors, widespread in nature, are the scientifically proven basis for perpetuating a species. This irrational rejection of what is
sine qua non for a
sustainable human society reality, based on cherry picked "survival of the most ruthless" Darwinian happy talk, evidences that the Capitalist Elite aren't just criminals; they are criminally insane.
Criminally Insane people do not negotiate; they fight to the death, no matter how irrational the biosphere trashing system that gave them all their short term privileges is. It will get ugly very soon.

Precursors of RevolutionWhile conditions appear to be relatively stable as of this date, historically revolutions tend to erupt without much warning when a combination of long simmering disagreements and discontent are ignited.
A few precursors that could set the stage for revolution-like developments include:💣 Continued unchecked expansion of violent and non-violent crime leading to a loss in public confidence and trust in the police and further trends towards vigilantes and private security networks.
💣 Any pervasive economic down-turn generating large-scale unemployment.
💣 Significant reductions in welfare, social-security, and other benefits.
💣 Political assassination and violence between political organizations.
💣 Raids and thefts from armories and gun stores.
💣 Any extreme shift in government policies either left or right resulting in deprivations, confiscations, or oppressive measures.
💣 Contested and contentious elections marked by threats, demonstrations and violence.It is difficult to predict what kind of events will transpire between now and the 2020 elections, but chaos and conflict seem inevitable.
It seems doubtful that ether side will accept the results of an election without active resistance. It is highly possible that there will be more than two parties and that we could have a president and legislature elected without a majority mandate. Instead of complacent inaction, survivalists should be taking this opportunity to focus on preparing for the hazards of 2019 and 2020.
