"Governments don't want a population capable of critical thinking. They want obedient workers, people just smart enough to run the machines and just dumb enough to passively accept their situation." - George Carlin

    That is literally what the communists have been predicting: The capitalist system will get more and more oppressive and unsustainable, then the workers will rise up and create utopia. Except that didn't happen, people seemed to prosper under capitalism - so instead of accepting that their theories were wrong, they changed strategy and are now trying to break the system themselves. They will keep pretending the current system is capitalism, while overregulating the market so everything collapses eventually, and they can have their revolution. It's quite insane, really.
