I believe you have the illusion of those things, nothing more.

You'd be wrong.

I encourage you to read about the “dual state” theory which is absolutely spot on in my opinion.

I read it. The problem I see with your theory is that we do in actuality have a complacent working/lower/middle class.

I'm not denying we live basically in a two tiered system. I just think it's largely due to the complacency of people. I think regardless of the label of economic policy we put on a country, if people aren't willing to step up and defend their rights to prosperity, to fight corruption, ultimately it doesn't matter. Any system can be gamified, and manipulated, and corrupted.

If I were a capitalist as you're suggesting, I'd be operating on the assumption that 'the market will fix this' or that property ownership trumps all. I don't believe that to be the case.

I personally believe that we're teetering and already falling past the edge of social prosperity. I think we're seeing the transition into Neo-feudalism. I think colonialism and industrialization created a ungovernable expansion of wealth, and that's the only real reason we have the rights and freedoms we do. I think the Nazi's, the holocaust, and the world wars made fascism/authoritarianism unpopular for a brief period of time, and that time is quickly coming to an end. I'm hopeful that AI might give some reprieve, but it could also make things worse than ever.
