Actually a system built on freedom can be VERY STABLE...but when you start nibbling away at that freedom, and then run a HUGE DEBT...anything is possible.

We’ll just have to wait and see.

A system built on freedom, especially ecnomically cannot long be stable because it gets rich. A rich society can and does support an ever growing class of parassites, people who do not produce anything but live off the work of theproducing class.. These can be some of the highest IQs in the society as well as the dregs. I mean academics and much of the lawyer class. In the lawer class the effect is particularly pernicious in that they make their livings by judicially pillaging the producing class. This class of nonproducers loses understanding of why the society is wealthy in the first place and begins to see “disparities” and feels that, wealth being a given, it is maldistributed that “must be corrected”. There is no reversing of that progression and we only fight to delay the inevitable totalitarianism til after we are dead. Alternatively the parasite class, in gradually knocking the economic props out of the country’s ability to project power and protect itself, weakens the society until it is overrun from outside, like by Islam, maybe.
