90. True - No country, nation or movement will be an exact carbon copy of what came before
There are lessons to lesson to learn from history repeating itself, but it rarely repeats itself exactly as it happened before.

Your point about how we are expendable got me to thinking about how Hitler promoted the idea of an Aryan race. Perhaps the American version would be a Christo-facsim a la The Handmaid's Tale. Washington's 70 year-old Christian group "The Family" isn't a fiction, and counts people in high places among its adherents.

But to your point, there wouldn't even need to be something like that. The wealthy have concentrated power to the degree of where they only need any human blood, sweat and tears to keep it all propped up. In our global economy, it doesn't matter where the labor comes from as long as it feeds the beast and results in the accumulation of more power. And the powerful will never be satisfied, because the nature of power is that you never have enough.

It's obscene the the average annual salary for the people at the top on Wall Street is $2bn dollars a year. That's two thousand million. The money is made off the backs of people who are kept on a short leash using fear and engineered division. We're so busy fighting amongst ourselves that we don't notice what's nakedly going on in front of us.
