    a free-market approach is only tolerated by the people as long as it benefits the masses. as soon as the people see that they’re losing, they’re violently gonna take what they need; i have faith in that. so i don’t think that neoliberalism is long for this world.

      Subjugated people rarely ever rise up, regardless of the amount of suffering. That is a Hollywood fantasy, not backed up by any historic record. Even the few moments of unrest and revolution that have hapoene historically are either fommented by an ambitious party or are a product of a quick destabilizing change, such as resource scarcity or technology, not because it’s wise.
