What do you think a situation like this would look like, in practice? I'm curious because I see people suggest that some kind of revolution would be a good thing... but what you're talking about is a lot of suffering and death leading up to the revolution, followed by violence and more death during, followed by more hardship and death trying to pick up the pieces after... do you expect to not be part of the suffering and death? do you expect it to happen after your life? what about family?
Frankly I think this kind of fatalism is a lazy cop-out. Saying "things are bad and getting worse, and there's nothing I can do about it, so let's just wait for it to all fall apart" excuses you from making an effort to improve things now. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, and collectively we make our own hell through inaction and the belief that collapse is inevitable.
We can demand more from our governments. By organizing, we can overwhelm the intentions of the wealthy. We can do better now.
