I just watched that movie tonight. Darn good movie. I can see this in the future. The elite party members will live in riches, some will be “workers” and many will be dead.
Don’t know if you’ve read or seen “City of Ember”....but it is another great one. The ‘time capsule’ in the movie (to me) represents our Constitution that was forgotten. They ended up living underground and eventually got a dictator who was hording all of the food. All jobs were ‘chosen’ for them by the ‘state’. Just like the communists.
