"Basic rule, never argue with people who have a lot more firepower than you."
Fascinating. I've often thought the same thing when I read about things like the Cloward-Pivens strategy. Here's a quick refresher for the unfamiliar: The Cloward–Piven strategy is a political strategy outlined in 1966 by American sociologists and political activists Richard Cloward (1926–2001) and Frances Fox Piven (b. 1932) that called for overloading the U.S. public welfare system in order to precipitate a crisis that would lead to a replacement of the welfare system with a national system of "a guaranteed annual income and thus an end to poverty". See, I think that when the system became overloaded and things beging to collapse, the military would step in and take control. The do have "a lot more firepower" than the leaders left who would try to restructure things. So, along with a lot of poor people no longer receiving welfare, all citizens would lose their freedoms. The US would become like one of those poor African nations ruled by a junta.
