No, the crisis isn't just a result of different people wanting different things and fighting over them.
A crisis is the only way the unraveling can be resolved. We wanted the revolutionary war, and the civil war, and the great depression and World War II, as these let us put the country together and formed the next high.
All these crises were primarily domestic crises, not wars created so the USA would put the country together. Crises are not times when the country comes together. They are times when the country fights over what kind of country we are to be.
Quote:We want this crisis, and we're going to get it no matter what it takes. We'll accept any form the crisis could take if necessary, but fault lines in society result in us being pulled towards particular potential crises.
Republicans are pulled towards one sort of crisis conflict, Democrats towards another, and neither has anything to do with money or good opportunity.
Money IS the crisis. It's about who hogs it, and how the right-wing wants to block progress with libertarian and xenophobic slogans so that the bosses can keep it.
