"Conservatives" are merely on a curve that is not quite so steep as that of the liberals. Everybody is moving to the Total State. There is no way off the escalator. Our education system has given us three or more generations of people educated to the welfare state. The welfare state cannot exist beyond its resources which it diminishes by its very existence until it must become a total state and that which is not banned is mandated. Europe was able to last as a welfare state so long as it did because it did not have to use any resources on defense and it had the American economy to backstop it. The Soviet Union lasted so long as it did because it could imitate the pricing of the Western economy and ration its resources better than it could have done without America.

It must all come to a whole world of "third-world" countries or even a whole world that is one third-world society, a One World the population of which must shrink as food production declines and famine returns to normalcy in history.Eventually communication and technology will bresk down with no resources to maintain or repair it and no innovation. The world will begin to break up as oceans and mountains once more separate populations.

I think your first paragraph is an accurate description of the problem we face, but I honestly don’t understand the second paragraph.
