Is it time for a total global collapse? [View all]

I mean, a total dark ages. A currency collapse that starts in the Western world:

1) and destroys the market for Eastern imports;
2) collapses the Eastern economies, too;
3) fragments and destabilizes funding for the troops and police that protect the Plutocracy, leaving them vulnerable to the fury of a global upheaval.

A dark ages is not the worst thing that can happen to humanity. A plutonomy is much worse, and it will be permanent. Anyone read Hunger Games? We'll wish a plutonomy was like that.

There must be some way to pull the world out from under the Plutocracy such that we can build a better civilization.

The Great Depression did give us Social Security...
