    Capitalism is also a symptom, a symptom of an intellligence and knowledge imbalance.

    People need to be informed and organized to prevent being abused. If they are, they can run a socialist or communist country, or tax their oligarchs without being scammed into losing power.

    Some people, e.g. ML, know how to defeat the oligarchs. The majority is not willing to learn and implement it. Even if there has been a revolution, the majority most likely will not stay sharp to prevent a decline.

    If the oligarchs are willling to transition into another form of society, they don’t have anything that could take over.
