if thier capitalists then they want western society surely
, rather than communism or even a heavily religous government being the dominant force on the planet?.
They will strip everyone of everything..that catostrophic? so people basically beg for help and except any situation of rule?
Depressions leads to the creation of a large welfare state because citizens become dependent on the government.

I think a lot of people in the US do not know what it is to live in a depressed society and culture. I know what it is...
1) No more hotties. The "hottie" ship will have sailed. No makeup. No "Lipstick Jungle." The only beautiful women you will see will be on the big screen. (Movie ticket prices will come down, because they will need something to cheer up the population. They use movies to cheer up the poor in India.) There were beautiful women in Ancient Rome. There weren't many beauties during The Dark Ages.
2) Dirty streets and dumber people. The education system will get even worse, and with that comes a generation of children who make really dumb decisions. There will be dirt on the streets, a lot! (I used to live in New Orleans BEFORE Katrina, and I know how things can get in a depressed society.)
3) More lawlessness and bad manners. More people not giving two craps. Women burping and spitting on the street in full view. Missing teeth because of no money for quality orthodontics. No reason to look presentable. (Deodorant will be optional.) People will want to hurt you for no reason, and they will have a lot of muscles because they will work out a lot (Because they have nothing else to do.) Women will have a lot of big and ugly "man tattoos" used to give them a sense of empowerment.
4) No more health food snacks. No more Evian water. No more Starbucks!!! No Soy Lattes or Whole Foods markets! Less and less "webisodes" because they will be expensive to produce. More bad public access shows.
5) Really long lines at McDonalds. In order to make a profit, they will have to cut back on staff. The hamburgers and cheeseburgers will get smaller. To save money, they will get rid of the King Size combo, because every french fry counts.
6) Reductions in basic services. Sanitation trucks will come once a week instead of twice a week. (In India, many cities have no sanitation. They burn their garbage on the streets.) No more 24/7 running water either. Expect more pharmaceuticals and hormones in your water, since it costs money to clean it.
7) Much, much more BS. You think people talk crap now, wait until the depression, when they have to find reasons to justify their miserable existence. Expect to go to more church services. You will need to do this just to meet decent people to befriend or date. There will be a whole lot more social bureaucracy. More tithing and BS. A lot of services where you have to pretend a lot more and agree with the crowds to fit in.
This is nowhere near the end of this list. It's just a sample of what may come. Please everyone, be shallow! Save this wonderful society we live in. I live with poor people. I know how bad it can be.
Save the US Economy please!

They don't fear it. They create Inflation periods, recessions, and depressions at will. They created the 1929 Depression starting soon after 1913 when the Federal Reserve was put into play, they had a practice Depression in 1920-1921, then allowed the roaring 20's to lull the American public into a false sense of security, then in 1927 was a secret meeting at the Federal Reserve for final planning, and then it was orchestrated in 1929 on cue. This was followed by the Illuminati setting up a Coup attempt against FDR and the white house [google "plot to seize the white house"], FDR was a part of the same coup for a bigger purpose. At the same time Wall Street funded and materially supported Nazi Germany and Hitler [reference Anthony Sutton; "Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler", included Prescott Bush, Henry Ford, DuPont, Rockefeller, Rothschild to name a few], then FDR provoked japan for WWII with the intention of getting into a war against Germany at the same time. FACT of history...and just a thumbnail sketch.
