There are similar readings in Plato’s Republic, where he talks about how democracy eventually defaults to tyranny soon after the citizens demand absolute freedom with no restrictions whatsoever. For present day examples of this think about the demand for pedophilia, necrophilia, and sex with animals to be legalized. We are just about there.

Once that happens China, Russia, and the Middle-East will ensure our collapse into bondage.
Hmmm...if the dollar really blows out hard.....the whole thing’ll come to a screeching halt faster than anybody here could imagine....

A Socialist offers equality of outcome.
