Oligarchy or crony-capitalist plutarchy, call it what you will, will eventually collapse civilization if humans cannot or will not wrap their heads around/figure out forms of anarchy and gift economies, and why their 'plutarchy ways' keep collapsing civilizations time and time again.
It may be that 'our lot in life' until we go extinct may simply be, build-up, collapse, build-up, collapse, build-up, collapse, and so on.
As this is happening, however, there may be offshoots of our species that manage to buck that trend. I discussed it a little with elysianfield and Jarek (Lugh) et al on JHK's old homesite.
The problem is that the globe is currently covered in a State monoculture patchwork, therefore it is generally resistant to alternative forms of human social organization. But collapse can open up opportunities in that regard as it levels the playing-field yet again and creates a vacuum for alternative social structures to enter.
