The solution is to rebalance the wealth in one way or another. If only we had a clue.
France showed us the way. The problem is getting from the piles of heads to an ironclad constitution that doesn't allow the slave industrialists from corrupting the process.
You'd have to convince the public to accept demographics that are unpopular, like sex offenders, furries and Juggalos. (We're struggling with equality for blacks and women)
I still stand behind the idea of writing a constitution before the uprising, and include a proscription against the principle revolutionaries from governing.
The Constitution of the United States was built on the foundation of Enlightenment ideology of ending the aristocratic class. And it worked for a while.
No the problem is getting to the piles.
The French solution has been studied by our elites, and they know how to prevent it from happening. They have researched revolution and have spent decades preventing it. They know exactly how hard they can push us before we fight back, and they are pushing the bleeding edge of that line every single day. We're never going to get there.
