"You've got it backwards. " Not really. "Left to its own devices, society tends to gravitate toward the rich getting richer at the expense of the poor, because the rich get to write the rules." Yes. "Yet such a society cannot sustain itself." In the long run? Maybe. But the long run, can, you know, take some time. Look up "water empire". "This is what the BNW seeks to counter. " Remember that the model that Huxley used was Henry Ford and his assembly line. While he could have based it on Marxism, he didn't. He did base it on that symbol of the time of capitalism, the assembly line. Which makes better sense than the analogies you are trying to draw. If you don't believe me, just read "Brave New World, Revisited" and see what Huxley had to say instead of inventing motivations for him.
