True. But by mark's theory you need such a blatant abuse of industrialization before this can be done Closest we got to was around the industrial revolution/depression eras. Unions and other people in government offices allowed relief that soothed the peak from breaking the barrier. Should we have continued the pennies on a dollar/12 hr work shift/ child labor with NO relief. It would be only a matter of time before it happens It's happening now again. History is repeating itself. Unions are getting weaker in the main fronts (unions kept splitting and now too divided) people are starting to work two jobs again. Education is starting to have economic barriers again. Regan set it in motion. Should the next president (s) within the next two decades NOT ease the citizens, it would have granted enough time for a Bernie adherent to take the election. Hate the young if you want but they are telling us something and if we don't do anything now then it could swing far into the opposite direction. The sooner you curve your straight line the less severe the swing will be. Wait too long then we become even more than the USSR and China Also... militant totalitarianism=/= socialism. Those two failed for the former not the latter
