Interesting.  So, this argument (probably one that David Graeber would
have agreed with) is that debt produces income inequality, redistributing
wealth to the upper classes.

I guess that's what's happening now, in slow motion.  Maybe in 500 years,
the transition will be complete?

In any case, given that the proletariat didn't feel the need to attack the
real criminals in this story, we need to start the organizing now.  I'm
happy, at least, that Americans no longer consider socialism a dirty word.
