"too little too late..."
It's always too little and too late for some when these events occur. It's never too little and too late for them as live through them.
It's up to us whether it is or isn't. The more we do now that will benefit us after we live through it, the more we will timely have enough to survive. Add to your ability to make stuff and provide services that are basal to survival now, and share the wealth as you can to create the only coin that will matter in a foxhole: goodwill.
Share wealth?
That's a rather commie response man.
When you yourself make the claim it doesn't work. The power elite have hand on all the systems that matter. That make this world function.
There's no REAL liberty getting achieved unless throats bleed and the liberty seeking individuals gain that position.
You know that.
Only Revolution gets people out from under elite control. Anything else is just "kumbaya ideology". Sure communities of love and goodwill will arise but ultimately control still remains in those hands I mentioned. So really it's just a coping mechanism to exist in such "communities" and believe that liberty is achieved.
Sharing isn't Communist. Forced sharing is Communist.
No, they run none of them. The systems that matter are all ecosystems, and they can only destroy them.
You're misguided and bloodthirsty to say that real liberty is cutting throats. You seem to mistake it for savagery.
Revolution just changes the players in the game but doesn't change the game.
Evolution happens, and it's happening now.
Decentralization of the means of production is presently the cutting edge of technology across all fields. Centralization can't compete. Overlords depend on centralization, so they intend to brutally repress us all to prevent our escaping their control.
They're going to fail, but it's important to not be subjected to their death throes. Adopt those means of producing the goods and services you need. Help others do that too. Together you will be stronger and better resist the armed oppression coming. Be strong enough to survive until the desperate attempt to oppress the entire world and turn us all into slaves fails.
Then, you win.
