Oligarchs like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are preparing to leave the rest of us behind and create an age of techno-feudalism. They're working on projects to live underground, in remote compounds, or in space when the planet undergoes an apocalyptic event. They're planning out infrastructure projects where those who live in privileged "smart cities" can easily access goods from within their homes, while AI-driven mass surveillance monitors the population's every move.
They're also aiming to profit from the climate crisis in various ways. Bill Gates' campaign to mass produce a Covid-19 vaccine (and subsequently gain a monopoly on global healthcare) is one example; viruses like Covid-19 are being multiplied by today's warmed climate, and the elites will take advantage of this as the climate crisis exacerbates these and other problems.
Our only recourse is to fight back, and to take the resources that the rich are stealing from us. This will have to involve seizing the means of production, which as you may notice are a recurring theme in the catastrophic projections I've listed. It's because healthcare, food, energy, and other facets of civilization are controlled by the capitalist class that these resources are becoming out of reach for many people. It's also because of this arrangement that the ecological crisis has gotten to this point.
We won't be able to undo the damage that their machine has done, but we'll be able to avoid a lot of suffering and death if we carry out a new wave of proletarian revolutions.
