The war is over until the revolution begins!

Western society is fragmented and disorganized, divisions based upon gender, religion, sexual preference, nationalistic origin, education, and socio economic status is by no accident. Western governments have divided and conquered the proletariat and have now implemented policies to ensure multi generation bankruptcy of its citizens effectively making them indentured slaves.

We can expect more draconian measures into the future; rationing, perhaps policies that forbid emigration, expropriation of "strategic" assets, rules regarding family size as the level of our destitution becomes more pronounced.

For some time, our current governments, which few if any thinking people regard as being interested in the welfare of its citizens, is bloated in bureaucracy, hypocrisy and corruption. They have won the war on its citizens who have developed an appetite for apathy, a complete inability to prioritize and filled, and who arefilled with irrelevant values making them incapable of stepping back to work with others for a larger cause.

Will that change and when?

History proves that revolution occurs when oppresion is to the point where general conditions are miserable and people en masse have nothing to lose. Until recently Western and in particular North American society seemed far from oppressed, the recent changes in regulations, disregard for constitutional principles, and most of all the reckless and wanton incursion of debt by the last two US administrations have assured many will soon have nothing to lose ... as people lose jobs, they lose houses, they lose their dreams and civil unrest begins ... this will increase as the haves (who have a lot less) will be forced to do more for the have nots who are increasing in size rapidly.

As unemployment numbers continue to swell and as people remain jobless for extended periods inevitably taxes collected by states, provinces, municipalities, and federal levels will shrink. As business continues to have profits erode by the death of consumerism further pressure will be placed on the coffers of government.

All of this will result in an increasing resentment towards civil servants who's income and retirement plans remain "safe". Those working for government or receiving a pension from government should be more than a little concern as general sentiment is directed toward the necessary measures governments will take in breaking their obligations with current and past employees.

The depth of this recession/depression will be best described in the history books not as the great depression, but as the great devestation.

If you agree with the basic gist of the readings from the Daily Reckoning, it seems abundantly clear that the class struggle described by Marx will be squelched using Machiavellian principles to take care of the prince and its people. Revolution will be the ultimate outcome, I do hope I am still around and able to participate.

This board has numerous excellent posters, how many of you agree with the posted reading from the Daily Reckoning ... the answer to that will help me better assess the probability of me being around for the inevitable revolution ... I fully expect to be around for a good portion of the great devestation.
