harsh words, really hash words that do ring a bell indeed somewhere.. hehe
but as it were now, if i’m allowed to digress a bit from politics to answer ur concern, this is the human evolutionary social package deal we get now, for better or for worse.
it's possible that in the distant future though (granted that we didn’t kill each other first to extinction) that we end up evolving into an efficient progress machine that can colonize distant star systems without ending up with riots and uprisings, tap in the power source of the stars, kill almost anything on sight including equally evolved alien societies (and better yet enslave them), and develop a 1 gender efficient space faring female society that depends on engineered clones that remove the need for the parasitical male gender hehe
though for now, well-functioning human ant dictatorships are impossible since humans still use their minds for feeling rather than cold efficient survival tactics.
Just look up at the sky up ahead for a moment, most of us still prefer to pray to our deities to protect us from harm rather than urgently investing in developing an anti-asteroid prevention system since we can actually afford it now.
it would be ironic if all we did in thousands of years of recorded human history ended up in rubble because of another wandering 100m rock that fell from the sky for the nth time and wiped out again all lesser creatures for no reason apart from the fact that they couldn’t defend themselves and take basic preventative measures to deflect a common space pebble.
