Look out middle classes....

Just a few words from our dear rulers - or the Ministry of Defence to be exact

The DCDC Global Strategic Trends Programme 2007-2036 (Third Edition), page 81, March 2007

The Middle Class Proletariat
The middle classes could become a revolutionary class, taking the role envisaged for the proletariat by Marx. The globalization of labour markets and reducing levels of national welfare provision and employment could reduce peoples’ attachment to particular states. The growing gap between themselves and a small number of highly visible super-rich individuals might fuel disillusion with meritocracy, while the growing urban under-classes are likely to pose an increasing threat to social order and stability, as the burden of acquired debt and the failure of pension provision begins to bite. Faced by these twin challenges, the world’s middle-classes might unite, using access to knowledge, resources and skills to shape transnational processes in their own class interest.

I think the general solution to this is that people need to stop being such power-hungry, greedy bastards.

It's so simple it hurts.

they plan for revolution by putting in place the structures to keep us in our place, while they go on getting filthy rich. note the chancellor backed down this week on taxing rich foreigners who move to the UK, hence they get filthy richer at our expense

As Dr Cox says, people are bastard-coated bastards with bastard filling.

How's that for cynicism.

Maybe the whole thing will have to collapse under it's own idiocy one day?
