    If you believe a total social-economic collapse will occur, when do you think it will happen? :/

    We've been terrified since 2008, but we're already in 2015.

    If it will indeed happen, my vote is: 2020.

    When do you think it will happen?

    I think 2008 was about as "total collapse" as we are likely to get (remember the share market dropped over 50% ?)
    The rich and powerful don't want "total collapse", because that would hurt them too, so they won't let it happen. The US bank bailouts were an in-your-face example of that.
    Cue to conspiracy nutters...

    Why don't you define what you mean by "total collapse" first?

    The "rich and powerful" will not be able to hold off a collapse forever. Everything bad is on a larger scale than it was in 2008 and the collapse will be on a larger scale. When? At any time but I think a global crisis will be the catalyst....war, disease, etc..... current oil deflation?

    Usually the system collapses after people finally believe it won't.

    Before the end of this decade I'd say.

    I'll revise my guess on a yearly basis depending on events.

    One thing is for sure though, the faster the masses wake up the quicker we will get there.

    So when did the British empire actually collapse ?

    Yes I know it doesn't exist any more but Britain is still there - no collapse just a long gradual erosion
    same can happen again

    If you actually study the history of those empires, their "collapse" was gradual and didn't really affect the regular folk living in cities.

    Even during the French and Russian revolutions, and the great depression most people work every morning and went to work.

    Don't alarmist crap convince you a total collapse is com.... (message interrupted by EMP pulse)

    Google '2020 economic collapse'.

    Then Google 'kondratieff 2020'.

    It's all in plain sight.

    I will say it again, it's all in plain sight.
