Chat Excerpt: --- 20th century - mass media, mass gov fiat currency, advantage hard-left. The Nazis count as surprisingly hard-left, economically speaking. 21st century - post drones & blockchain, looking like it will be advantage hard-right. these days, large mass of “the people” == big easy target for deniable remote weapons average man is no longer a threat (as he was in 20th century). Both nazi and marxist rely on gathering together average man to achieve power. Therefore in 21st century neither strategy will work. The flavour might be used for rhetorical purposes. Major issue is: relatively few people will have power, and popular discontent won't have much effect except for stochastic terrorism. So more like blade runner 2049. I mention drones because they would seem in future to be an advantage for the few as opposed to the many. I'm basically betting on a trend line of "average man will matter even less in future than he does now". ---
