wachtwoord Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Yes. Uprisings will happen, justifiably, when basic needs like food are not available. They won't occur over someone else having a better TV. Umm, Syria? Lebanon? Iran? Those weren't uprisings but US/France financed proxy wars with Russia.

RichardGibbons Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 That said, I shouldn't be too flippant. I did ask why anyone believed the rich wouldn't be killed, and you gave me an excellent explanation. I appreciate you explaining your own point of view of how the world works, since I sincerely didn't understand why anyone would believe that you can increase wealth inequality to extreme levels, and not expect the vast majority to react in dramatic--and eventually violent--ways. Now I think I understand your point of view. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardGibbons Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Mark Carney gets it.... http://www.bbc.com/news/business-38210169 The stateless corporations issue is an interesting one. Outside of a world-wide government, I'm not sure how you deal with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
