    Not just that but there is no “THE system” it’s more of a stew made out of dozens of systems working around and with each other. You can’t just throw out the stew and start over because it’s already got all of us and everything in it. I don’t want to go too far with that metaphor but you get the idea.

      Yeah you think as I do.

      Speaking of stew… the SYSTEM is involved with distribution of food. I don’t have land to farm, so if we’re going to destroy the system, I’m gonna need the new system that replaces it to be functioning and somehow distributing food to me in about a week.

      Historically there have been many times revolutions that have resulted in famines. And most revolutions end up with basically the same kind of system as before, just with different people in power, once they’ve run their course.
