A dimension to this cube that I think is important and may actually set it off is the taxpayer vs. non-taxpayer. Socialist policy will ultimately swell the ranks of the dependents to the point where public budgets can’t support them. When services are cut and the dependents start wandering out into the land inhabited by the producers to take what they think they deserve, then the shooting will start.

First they will burn their own cities.
When you see the cities on fire it’s time to move to Utah.
Another scenario is a split between those who live off the government (including bureaucrats) and those who do not (and foot the bill). I can see plenty of GS-#'s that will not hesitate to support the use of force against those who will not subsidize their salaries and retirements. It's not only the "welfare" contingent.
Unfortunately, I can easily see that – the neoProgressive socialists have taught people they are entitled to the earnings and property of others – and if things break down, they will start alookin for the next handout.
If the government won’t steal it for them, they will do it themselves.
It would seem like this November will be the last chance to stop the neoProgressives.
The country is the Titanic II heading straight for an iceberg at full speed, this November will most likely be a last chance to change course or let the neoProgressives lock us into a collision course with disaster.

That’s pretty much the richer - poorer axis. I think Tijeras_Slim has an interesting wrinkle on / complicating factor with that axis with his “split between those who live off the government (including bureaucrats) and those who do not (and foot the bill)”.
How that might affect things would probably depend on precipitating factors to any conflict.
And a bump for a good summation.
“Entitled” folks won’t be organized, because following leaders is a lot like work, and we can’t have that.
Your comment just made me think of another one.
Government workers (all levels) vs privately and self-employed.
The state of OR has more gov employees than private/self. Pretty nauseating.
