Who would revolt? The rich? Too few in numbers. The middle class? They're apathetic, and they'd still get access to everything they had under our system in the new system. The poor? They'd be better off, so they wouldn't revolt. Cypherpunks? Sorry, guys, but there aren't that many of you. ;-)
The problem with repressing any group is that they have an annoying habit of waking up at the most inopportune moments... -- "As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there is a twilight when everything remains seemingly unchanged. And it is in such twilight that we all must be most aware of change in the air--however slight--lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness." -- Justice William O.
