The 1% couldn't survive without the 99% anymore than the plantation owners could have survived without the slaves.
Wow. Amazed at all the posters who are clueless about this.
The way we are headed, people will slowly become unemployable due to lacking any competitive advantage vs automation. Consumer-capitalism will no longer be viable, and we will transition to a semi-feudal system where the serfs, peasants, and slaves will be machines. From the standpoint of the new royalty, people will be like vermin. Consuming resources and polluting, while providing no benefit to themselves.

The end of the world is coming soon becasue GOD will not his creation fall into what is coming for ever...but if satans workers had their way they would murder 90 percent of the earth...the plan to reduce the worlds population to 500 million from the 7 billion it is ....doont believe me study the georgia guidestones which the lucifer worshiippers ...I mean freemasons, created for their plans of the new world order
Technology in the era of plantantion owners was not nearly as advanced as today; would today's technology allow such an enclave to have enough fully automated functions for an enclave of the very rich to survive?
Sure, the 1% would survive for a while on what the 99% have already produced and stored. But machines and parts wear out. Food supplies and clean water run out. Who will build new machines and maintain the power plants? Who will house, feed and breed the herds and slaughter the animals for food? Who will plant, fertilize and harvest the crops. Who will transport those crops? Someone needs to drive and unload the trucks. Who will clean the public toilets, sweep the streets and collect the garbage?
The 1% will have to divide themselves. Will those on the lowest financial scale be forced to do the labor the 99% once did?
For some reason I'm inclined to say that technological advances make it so that the 1% can survive without the need for the lower classes, and that the makeup of the humanity of the future will be largely determined by who is part of the uppermost classes today.
Perhaps I'm wrong, though. Is it:
- Impossible to achieve?
- A technical possibility?
- A technical reality?
The Bible says the poor will always be with us. Doesn't say the same about the rich though Of course, can there be poor without rich?

I can't imagine the 1% ever wanting to do this. One of the benefits of privelege is all the personal services one can expect.

LOL. As if. I'm sure the English aristocracy didn't recognize their dependence on the masses, either.

The greater majority of the population are not personal servants of the mega rich...
If the ruling families added up to 10M people, they could each have 10 personal servants and still get rid of ~99% of the world population.

Of course, can there be poor without rich?
