Turchin is known for developing a cross-disciplinary subject known as "cliodynamics," which treats history like any other science, with predictions and models. He has been writing about the subject for some time, but three years ago he began working on predicting the future. One of his predictions was: "We should expect many years of political turmoil, peaking in the 2020s."
Turchin says that "the negative trends seem to be accelerating," and that in three years, the path to instability will seem unavoidable. He was quick to point out that Donald Trump's presidential election neither accelerates nor decelerates the process, but was simply a predicted aspect of his theory.
Turchin's concepts include "elite overproduction," in which the rich grow richer and relate less and less to the poor. He said that elite overproduction would result in "ideological polarization and fragmentation of the political class." He used the 2016 election as a prime example, and explained that the Republican party has shattered into different factions consisting of Traditional Republicans, Tea Party Republicans, and Trump Populists. He also said the same applies to the Democratic Party, with the divide between Democratic Socialists and Establishment Democrats.
Turchin also notes that the weakening fiscal health of the state, which occurs as revenues fall and expenses rise, while quality of life stagnates and declines, will also play into instability in the US. Trump's proposed policies appear to fall in line with his predicted course towards total meltdown."Drastically reducing taxes on wealthy Americans will hardly strengthen the fiscal health of the state," he wrote.
So does this mean that we should start preparing bomb shelters? Not necessarily, according to Turchin. While current events may be following his predicted trends, he does not believe that they are the be-all and end-all. "This is a science-based forecast, not a 'prophecy'" he explained.
In order to avoid a major meltdown, Turchin proposes "an open discussion of problems and potential solutions," but as anyone who has been on Twitter lately knows, that may prove difficult. He also cited the need for better science, saying that a nonpolitical, nonpartisan institute should be set up to address these issues from a scientific standpoint.
In order to avoid a major meltdown? No, we want a major meltdown. That's the only way to end the existing system. Then he proposes; "an open discussion of problems and potential solutions."
a renewal and re-invention and realization of what the parasite billionaire class has burdened humanity with. It's a growing awareness of their designs, of their incompetence and inability to address their stolen positions with a regard for the height which their wealth has placed them.
As with the collapse of the Soviet State, the incompetence and corruption has peaked, and the only solution is to divest ourselves of the stooges of that system and it's corruption of liberty and freedom.
We already know the problems and we know the solutions and that don't include more of the same or a revamping of the parasites at the top feeding on the rest of us.
Money, money is silver and gold. It isn't a stock, it isn't a digit in a bank leger, it's not a private banking system using inflation to loot the labor of the rest of us, or the free use of fractional fictional money.
The problems? The problems are these people, the .01%. It's their system, it's their banking and warfare system, it's their religious mindcontrol systems, it's their brainwashing mind programming indoctrination system which they call education that are the real problems.
