    The 1% at the top have chosen to maintain the current system for generations. They also have chosen to strangle any attempts to change the system whenever possible via immense violence.

        Do you think the kind of circumstances that would lead to the 1% being ended would be conducive to another slotting itself in without problem?

        I really don’t think you understand the scale of the ultra wealthy - the top 1% own almost half of the world’s wealth. Yes, the next 1% are much different, as they don’t own almost half of the entire world’s money.
