Interestingly, the bureaucratic/parasitic class in these countries suffers even more than the entrepreneurial/productive class.
A best case example is Malaysia. The Chinese entrepreneurial/productive class does just fine economically but has almost no say in the government. The Malaysian bureaucratic/parasitic class has nice perks for their government people at the top and runs everything. But the rank and file suffer and are nowhere near where the Chinese entrepreneurial/productive class are economically. Those who are most fortunate are employed by the ethnic Chinese entrepreneurial/productive class.
If our sham elections descend to the point where the entrepreneurial/productive class feels that it is pointless to even participate anymore, then we will be very fortunate if our economic status can sink no further than the level of Malaysia.
However if the bureaucratic/parasitic class becomes more unreasonable and greedy in their demands than that in Malaysia, then we cannot be even that fortunate.
There seems to be one fundamental problem with that type of society for the entrepreneurial class:
How does the entrepreneurial/productive class avoid being destroyed by oppressive taxation and regulation from the bureaucratic class?
