Both socialist political parties will work for such efforts, especially with the candidates who make the most charismatic and appealing promises. The only kind of candidate who will work against the regime will be like Scott Walker, one with a real record of cutting spending to constituents with government incomes.

There are legal and technical ways around every regulation. The more efforts to enforce artificial scarcity, spook consumers and run surveillance on them, the more that open source design and low-techs will rule.

The new political class will not win. The remainder of the default process is coming. There will be no way to keep ill-gotten funds. Technological victory will be with those who are also technically inclined with their hands.
