What I cannot understand, is those who wish to overpower the working class of people by retaining political power at any cost are going to do once the working class decides to give up and become part of the parasitic class that keeps them in power.And that WILL happen.
All the trade skills will be lost, the people who are keeping this kind of government in power aren’t skilled and dont want to work, for the most part.
A good point.
What you have to remember is that these are people who quite literally don’t care about how to make things work. They truly believe that progress is accomplished by passing laws and mandating things. It’s other people’s problem how to keep society and the economy functioning despite the impediments they put in our way.
To date they have been generally successful because we had an immense stock of societal capital built up that we’ve been expending.
At some point that will run dry, as you point out, but even then they will not accept responsibility. Psychologically, they can’t. Instead there will be a more and more shrill scapegoating of an increasingly small productive group of people.
This isn’t going to end well unless we somehow turn it around.
