Why Oligarchs Create Hopelessness.

My dear friends, I feel like talking a little. Let us look at history. Throughout history oligarchs, the "elites", despots, tyrants, the establishment has sought to control in the same manner. Consolidate power, create inequality and cause the majority to feel hopelessness and despair. Look at the medieval times if this is not clear to you or look at recent despots such as Stalin, Hitler, Mao or even Kim Jung Un.

In India they called it the caste system, in England the class system, in America we call capitalism, in the Soviet Union they called it the communism. Creating systems for the benefit of the few at the expense of the many. Now, in Polynesia and Africa this did not exist in the same way. Being more familiar with Polynesia I will use that for my example. These systems were community based and even those whose labor was not needed were treated the same. Why would any rational society work to benefit a few at the expense of the society?

Since the fall of the soviet union, our oligarchs have sought to weaken the middle class to create hopelessness. You can see it if you look at the Midwest and rustbelt. Take away all hope and you create a class of fear and dread. You may believe that this had to happen; but, look at China. All their wealth has come from America and Europe sending the jobs there. That could have happened here; but, that was not what was wanted by our oligarchs. Our community, the west, built China by transferring our wealth there.

MSN - CNBC - The 1 percent will always control the wealth and here's why.  According to the article which likes this situation, 1 percent in the world control 82 percent of the wealth.

Bloomberg - Look at What's Going to Happen to Sweden's Fabled Welfare State.  The article claims that Sweden cannot survive unless it takes in hundreds and hundreds of thousands of immigrants, supposedly from the middle east, and gives up on taking care of its people.

The reason Trump and Brexit upset the oligarchs so much is because they fear it makes think people think they can make their societies work for the whole society rather than just the oligarchs. Greed and selfishness can only exist in societies that allow a few to own everything or at least most everything.
