maybe this whole mess doesn't collapse like in the soviet union?

True. Odds favor Hilly will be elected, no matter what Babs does. Then the US becomes like the EU while the EU is forced to become capitalist with ROW. In that case the US continues to slide and you see your quality of life descend into the pit.

maybe improving productivity through things like automation gives the sickened economy a faint heart beat.

Automation, high tech, DOES NOT improve what matters: the attitude of people. According to Schumpeter the indolent have to be destroyed. Socialism creates an ever increasing dependency class of indolence. Why not show how to get rid of that? You can't. It takes the slow process of Hegelian pain to burn it out of the collective unconscious depending upon the degree of pain inflicted over some short run, for, the cycle is governed by the law of conservation of total pain.

then the illiterates can keep saying we need more poison, more blood letting to save us.

Precisely. Part of the reinforcing aspect of the down cycle. For example, during Bab's speech yesterday while he was promising to put Gitmo prisoners into US prisons some lune kept calling out that all those prisoners should be set free. Babs said, "we'll get to that". The crowd cheered. How many Boston bombings will his appeasement produce?

they can continue to blame free markets and capitalism. in the mean time, everyone one on earth continues to suffer. we never realize our potential. we never soar to the heights. all because we continue to remain ignorant.

I've been telling all of you that stopping the ignorance means you have to become more vocal. That's the technique the libs have used to get us here. What will it take to get you vocal? More punishment. So far, miraculously, we're all still riding on Bush's dime. Ends soon though. Then I'll bet you'll be calling that devil a lot worse things than I have.
