AKA, the forever war, from 1984, where war is waged specifically to waste and destroy the product of economies, to keep the proles poor, and thus unable to rise up against their oligarchical masters.

People are rising up in other poorer countries, but I dont know if it has any effect. Massive demonstrations and many people killed, but is change happening?
