11. Nope. This whole system needs to go.

Unfortunately, the ruling class has an iron grip on the mentality of much of the working class. So much so that the workers won’t even defend themselves and worse, actively want to be ruled by these hoarders and parasites under the ridiculous assumption that they too will one day ascend to that class.

Obviously, we have to keep voting because that’s the system we live under but once the material conditions break down enough, and they will, the People will do what has to be done. Because there will be no other choice. This system of infinite economic growth simply cannot be sustained.
