“Going Galt,” or what is better termed “shrugging” is refusing any longer to contribute to the economic system so long as the fruits of your productivity are going to be stolen. Either you hide out in the mountains at your own Galt’s Gulch, or you work below your abilities. Galt himself invented an engine that runs in static electricity or something and was employed at a gas station or something (I forget). I believe there was a professor of philosophy who became a short order cook.
To hell with going Galt, “Go Galt Overdriven”, become a parasite, take everything from the system it will give you and ask for more with the full knowledge that later you will rise up to rebuild.
Stockpile the extra crap you get and give it to the others who have Gone Galt already to make it easier for them to go Galt, create a support network to support the Galters, increase the rate of collapse of the top heavy system.
What you’re describing sounds like the Cloward-Piven strategy, only with the opposite goal. I have no idea where you get the knowledge that we’ll rise again to rebuild. Fair warning: lefties will blame collapse on the market and Republicans. If yesterday is any guide the pepper will trust them, and the Welfare State will become the More Welfare State, only with nothing to tax anymore.
