- TheAdamAndChe 9y agoNothing _has_ to happen. Mass media makes propaganda much easier to spread, and I consider it very likely that nothing will happen and inequality will strengthen for a long time. My point is that the system seems to be stuck in a positive feedback loop where greater capital concentration strengthens the system that created capital concentration in the first place. _Something_ would need to facilitate the movement out of that loop, and historically events required to lower inequality(world war, civil war, lower-class uprisings) haven't been pleasant.
