I would prefer to deal with this situation when it appears likely to happen and concentrate on achievable results now. Focusing on the harder problems of greater repression will prevent useful progress from being made.
I agree with Eric. I was raised by a chronic societal pessimist, one of the last words of whom that I remember was "I have seen the Golden Age of America and it's over". It annoys me just a little when, looking backwards, people trip over a paradigm shift. It's even worse when they don't know they've tripped. It's like yelling "theatre" in a crowded fire. Or something.
