"Warlords see the future; peasants only see the present, and grumblers only see the past." I Ching & Military Methods of Ancient China
"IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO LAY DOWN RULES FOR warfare [SOLUTION] BEFORE YOU COME INTO TOUCH WITH THE enemy [PROBLEM]." Military Arts of Ancient China
"Trust/Passivity towards enemy/PROBLEM is clothing for laziness of thought, the desire to have a break." Terminally fatal, it is a habituated mindset we carry from childhood—assuming that others, adults and authority figures, will handle the solution.
Each major technological breakthrough has triggered systemic reorganization and societal transformation, leading to regional and local socioeconomic resets followed by decades of systemic restructuring. These periods, marked by profound instability, consistently follow a recognizable pattern: escalating inequality, migration, social discord, the rise of polarizing ideologies, pandemics, political upheavals, economic and other crises, market crashes, civil wars or revolutions, hunger or famines, ethnic and class cleansing, and culminating in wars of ever-larger scale. By nature and design, this recurring "disruptive technology-to-new order" cycle is not merely a phase of change but a time of profound disruption, tragically marked by widespread atrocities and the systemic mass elimination of human lives.
Accelerated systemic changes deepen inequalities and contradictions, creating fertile ground for discord and fostering hostile, hateful narratives that sow division and fuel conflict—clear markers of impending tragedy. These narratives, weaponized by political corruption, erode societal cohesion and lead to environments ripe for lawlessness, systemic injustice, anarchy and escalating violence setting the stage for social revolutions. Social revolutions, in turn, have historically served as a tool of dismantling the structures of social orders. In several waves elites and other conservative interest groups tied to the old and transitional regimes—military leaders, academics, economic power holders, producing classes and revolutionaries themselves are targeted and systemically eliminated - until few remain who can recall the old ways and challenge the new ones preventing the reemergence of an old order through unification of any old interest groups or other social formations. Finally, wars finish the job of cleansing settlers and holdovers who were left off on the earlier stages of industrialization, while in the process facilitating progress, stimulating and accelerating development, unifying new nations or nations around new order, strengthening existing ideology and order, and more.
The forthcoming Global Socioeconomic Reset and Restructuring are driven and necessitated by the most disruptive technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, and promise an unparalleled in its reach and depth nonlinear transformation of the socioeconomic order, structure, and composition of society. Such, that even the role and future of the human is in question—just as industrialization rendered the peasantry obsolete, the Fourth Industrial Revolution threatens to render the working and thus middle class irrelevant (Y.N. Harari, 'New Useless class of citizens'; Trans-humanism). As the leader of the World Economic Forum Klaus Schwab noted, "the Fourth Industrial Revolution will affect the very essence of our human existence."
It would not be an exaggeration to expect that the MOST DISRUPTIVE industrial revolution is to induce the greatest changes, and, for the first time, truly on global scale, and that it could lead to the Most Radical and painful Socioeconomic Reset and Restructuring, fundamental flipping of the hierarchies, combining the worst crimes and atrocities, and leading to the GREATEST LOSSES OF LIVES. The upcoming decades could very well become the Darkest Times of History: the most painful process for all, peril for those WHO CAN'T CHANGE THEIR WAYS, and existential challenge for the rest.
Today, unlike peasants of the past bound to their lands, we have access to an unprecedented wealth of information to be able avoid being caught off guard by these events. With the right analysis, this knowledge empowers us to identify patterns, anticipate disruptions, and take proactive measures to prepare for the new order—where, as history has shown, there may not be a place for everyone. Yet, only the fatal rigidity of the mind, akin to that of settlers in various periods of the past, stands between individuals and their preservation. If you are not preparing, you are losing valuable time. With each event of strategic importance, the window of opportunity grows smaller.
With the primary knowledge - the knowledge about the nature of the problem, - it becomes possible to think of the solution. How to overcome the dangers of upcoming period of greatest transformation and reorganization, period of instability, uncertainty, unrest?
The following materials are designed to introduce you to the problem and provide a preliminary analysis.
Your support can help us deepen our understanding and advance the development of actionable programs to prepare to meet these challenges. Together, we can navigate the complexities of global change and prepare for the future!

I. The Problem: Unstoppable Progress and Change
Industrial Revolutions and Socioeconomic Resets
When new radically disruptive technologies and methods become available ('modes and means of production'), it inevitably leads to a cascade of changes in how all trades and their conductors relate and affect one another ('Relations of production'); that is, to changes in socioeconomic order (norms, rules, regulations, laws, ideologies, values, beliefs, etc.), structure (classes), and the composition of the society. Without visionary governance, these unintended effects lead to emerging and accumulating systemic contradictions, errors, and friction. With visionary governance they lead to...
The disruptive effects of technologies and their impacts on relations and order of societies can be readily seen in retrospect in examples of previous industrial revolutions, where the more "backward" the society was (in the degree of integration of new technological advancements), the more radical, ruthless, and bloody the socioeconomic transformation (social revolution) was required.
In relation to the breakthroughs offered by the Fourth Industrial Revolution every society is "backward" in every regard and dimension. The forthcoming socioeconomic restructuring is induced by the most disruptive technologies that have been known to our civilization, which promises first truly Global, an unparalleled in its reach and depth transformation of the socioeconomic order, structure, and composition of the society. Such, that even the role and future of the human is in question ('Useless class of citizens', Trans-humanism).
When it comes to Change, humans, unlike machines, are hardly re-programmable; the issue becomes worse when en masse. In stable and closed societies the values, beliefs, and behaviors become hardwired and are reinforced through daily confirmation and validation. The multitude of people carry with them old ways and means of relation to each other, to trades, business, etc. and thus collectively represent the interest groups which cause resistance to change. Thus people themselves become the obstacle on the way of progress, making it a collective action problem of higher order of magnitude.
The change becomes something of an urgency as new technologies not only drive improvements but also generate emerging and accumulating systemic contradictions, errors, and frictions, not to mention interests of powerful groups. These dynamics create a drag on progress, guaranteeing uncontrollable disruption if left unmanaged, thereby necessitating skillful and proactive management.
In human resource based systems the system itself is represented by its carriers, and thus for the system to change, the critical mass of its carriers must be replaced. New order can only emerge when range of conditions are met—such as critical mass, length of disruption, lost and disconnected generations, and other, marking a state of susceptibility and readiness of the medium to be reshaped. Thus, achieving compliance of masses in order to facilitate the progress requires radical measures.
To address human inflexibility and resistance to change, technologies like social revolutions have historically served as a tool for dismantling the structures of preceding orders. These movements, driven by ideologies of hate to oppressing classes (socioeconomic, racial, etc.) target and eliminate interest groups tied to the old regimes—military leaders, academics, and economic power holders, and other conservative groups—aiming for their complete eradication to prevent any attempt to restore the previous order (any possibility for the order, old order, to emerge out of interaction of old elements or a system). In doing so, they facilitate the systemic resets necessitated by technological advancements and societal transformations. This process clears the path for a new system to take root, often characterized by centralized regimes designed to align with the demands of emerging socioeconomic orders.
II. Instruments of Change
"There is no moving the masses toward a new world without new ideologies."
Social revolutions and nationalist-[imperialism] have proven to be key tools in resetting socioeconomic orders, effectively resolving collective action problems that obstruct systemic change.
"There is no moving the masses without a unifying ideology." The activation of ideologies as a tool serves as a predictive marker of impending societal shifts, driven by the consolidation of shared narratives and objectives—often rooted in collective dissatisfaction and perceived threats. Conventionally, ideologies are categorized into left and right, but in reality, the right of today is merely the ultra-left of yesterday. Historically, the "right" at any point in time represents the 'reactionary', conservative majority—those who tends to familiar style of life and by denying change, become obstacles to progress.
The pathway to systemic transformation varies depending on a nation's economic strength, transnational corporate interests, and social structure. In wealthy, corporate-driven nations where conservative forces are strong, nationalism is employed as a tool to reshape regional socioeconomic and political landscapes. In weaker, fragmented nations with minimal corporate interest and widespread poverty, social revolution becomes the instrument of change, empowering newly established governments to centralize control and automate human resource management. With each cycle of disruptive technology to - new order, with greater interconnectedness enabled by technological advancements, power increasingly consolidates, strengthening the state’s role.
The key distinction lies in the nature of transformation. Social revolutions induce a complete ideological reset, reshaping belief systems and worldviews, whereas nationalism is often mobilized to escalate large-scale conflicts—either to eliminate remaining reactionary masses in neighboring states, disrupt economies, or catalyze broader systemic destruction. Historically, social revolutions have served as a tool for resets in 'backward' societies, whereas in more advanced societies, a softer social-democratic approach has facilitated systemic change—ultimately leading to greater centralization of state power.
While all disasters listed in Section One are catastrophic, the rise of ideologies during great resets serves as the most critical early warning of — an indicator of all that follows. A wise individual should recognize this as a signal to prepare and, as the saying goes, 'relocate to remote places in times of war and conflict.'
III. Regional Socioeconomic Resets of the past
Below you can find several examples of regional scale socioeconomic resets, as opposed to the impending global one. While this section highlights the Russian, Chinese, and French revolutions, many other local revolutions and regimes of the 20th century followed similar patterns, including those in Cuba, Vietnam, Cambodia, North Korea, and other nations under communist rule. By examining these cases, you will see how ideologies exploit the fundamental and irreconcilable 'contradictions' of inequality, ensuring a persistent and inexhaustible potential for overturning any established order.
Social revolutions (resets) are executed by the hands of individuals possessing psychopathic traits or outward psychopaths. These individuals and their undeveloped followers, driven by hate, ambition and a capacity for chaos, play a crucial role in deconstruction and transitional governance. They effectively dismantle the preexisting order by targeting and eliminating its carriers - elites and interest groups, such as military leaders, academics, and economic power holders. However, their utility is short-lived, as their personality traits and motives make them obstacles to the second stage of socioeconomic resets. Once the old order is destroyed, these revolutionaries themselves become a status quo interest group, resisting further progress. As a result, they are systematically eliminated or marginalized by succeeding groups, who then consolidate power, establish new structures, and drive the formation of the emerging social order. (See examples in "II. The Socioeconomic Resets of the Past" on this page.)
1. The French Revolution: The Cycle of Revolutionaries Turning on Each Other
The French Revolution began with the dramatic overthrow of the monarchy in 1789. King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette were executed, and the aristocracy was systematically dismantled. This initial phase was marked by the rise of the Jacobins, who implemented radical reforms and brought an end to centuries of feudal privilege. Yet, the celebration of liberty was short-lived, as chaos and power struggles plunged the nation into violence.
Stage 1: The Fall of the Monarchy and the Execution of the Aristocracy
The revolution’s first wave was fueled by widespread discontent among the peasantry and bourgeoisie. Feudal dues were abolished, and the monarchy was toppled. However, the newfound liberty quickly gave way to the Reign of Terror (1793–1794). Revolutionary tribunals sent thousands of nobles, clergy, and perceived enemies of the revolution to the guillotine. Mob violence swept the cities, and even moderate voices advocating for controlled reform were silenced.
Stage 2: The Purge of the First Revolutionaries
As power consolidated under the Jacobins, a second wave of bloodshed began. Revolutionary leaders like Maximilien Robespierre turned on their former allies, accusing them of betrayal and of too much bloodshed. Radicals who orchestrated the initial terror were themselves arrested and executed. Robespierre’s fanatical quest for ideological purity led to mass paranoia and internal purges. The streets of Paris became rivers of blood as the revolution devoured its own.
Stage 3: The Reaction Against Extremism
By 1795, the pendulum swung again. A moderate faction, the Thermidorians, seized control, leading to Robespierre’s downfall and execution. Those who had orchestrated the most brutal purges were themselves purged. The cycle of revolutionary justice continued until Napoleon Bonaparte’s rise in 1799, which brought an authoritarian end to the chaos. Each wave of the revolution amplified the atrocities of the last, underscoring how radical transformations can spiral out of control.
2. The Russian Revolution: From Socialist Utopia to Totalitarian Nightmare (1917 - 1929)
The Russian Revolution of 1917 promised to liberate the working class from centuries of tsarist oppression. Yet, this promise unraveled as successive waves of revolutionaries brought greater suffering and repression. Each stage of the revolution revealed new depths of violence, betrayal, and ideological fanaticism.
Stage 1: The Fall of the Tsar and the Rise of the Provisional Government
In February 1917, mass protests and strikes forced Tsar Nicholas II to abdicate, ending centuries of Romanov rule. A provisional government of moderates and socialists sought to establish a democratic order. However, their inability to address economic crises and withdraw from World War I alienated the masses. The Bolsheviks, led by Lenin, seized this opportunity to stage the October Revolution later that year.
Stage 2: Bolshevik Consolidation and the Red Terror
The Bolsheviks overthrew the Provisional Government and declared a workers’ state, but their vision quickly descended into authoritarianism. The Red Terror (1918–1922) targeted counter-revolutionaries, aristocrats, and even fellow socialists who opposed Bolshevik policies. Thousands were executed without trial, and entire villages were razed to suppress dissent. This phase culminated in the Russian Civil War, during which famine, disease, and mass violence claimed millions of lives.
Stage 3: Stalin’s Purges and the Erasure of Early Revolutionaries
By the 1930s, Joseph Stalin had consolidated power and launched the Great Purge, targeting the very revolutionaries who had helped establish Bolshevik rule. Prominent leaders like Trotsky were exiled or assassinated, and millions of ordinary citizens were executed or sent to gulags. Collectivization policies caused the Holodomor, a man-made famine that killed millions in Ukraine. Stalin’s totalitarian regime represented the final and most brutal phase of the revolution, as ideological purity justified unprecedented atrocities.
3. The Chinese Communist Revolution: Chaos, Consolidation, and Ideological Fanaticism
The Chinese Communist Revolution led by Mao Zedong followed a similarly brutal trajectory. From the initial upheaval against landowners to the consolidation of communist rule, each phase of the revolution escalated the scale of atrocities.
Stage 1: The Overthrow of the Landowning Class
In the late 1940s, the Communist Party encouraged peasants to seize land from wealthy landlords. This phase was marked by mass violence, as landowners were publicly humiliated, tortured, and executed. Peasant militias, empowered by Mao’s directives, often acted without restraint, resulting in tens of thousands of deaths. This initial purge was framed as a necessary step toward social equality.
Stage 2: The Great Leap Forward and the Famine
After securing political control in 1949, Mao launched the Great Leap Forward (1958–1962) to rapidly industrialize China and collectivize agriculture. Unrealistic production targets and flawed policies led to catastrophic mismanagement. The resulting famine caused the deaths of an estimated 15–45 million people, making it one of the deadliest events in human history. Those who resisted collectivization were labeled as traitors and often executed or sent to labor camps.
Stage 3: The Cultural Revolution and the Destruction of the Party’s Old Guard
In 1966, Mao launched the Cultural Revolution, a campaign to purge "counter-revolutionary" elements within the Communist Party and Chinese society. Students and youth, organized into the Red Guards, were encouraged to attack intellectuals, destroy cultural relics, and denounce their own families. Political purges targeted Mao’s perceived rivals, leading to widespread imprisonment and executions. The chaos only subsided after Mao’s death in 1976, leaving a nation traumatized by decades of ideological extremism.
Each of these revolutions followed a chillingly similar pattern: an initial wave of popular uprising, followed by radical purges of perceived enemies - always from the privileged classes of previous orders, - and ending with the revolutionaries turning on their own ranks.
The relentless cycle of violence reveals how systemic resets can spiral into chaos - they are designed to spiral to chaos (!) (Chaos from order --> Order from chaos) when driven by ideological fervor and the thirst for power. These examples underscore the human cost of dismantling societal orders without safeguards, offering stark warnings for the challenges posed by the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the Great Reset.

IV. On Revolutions, Conflict and Struggle
Social revolutions have proven to be a key tool in resetting socioeconomic orders, effectively resolving collective action problems that obstruct systemic change. What once occurred on local and regional scales will, in the near future, unfold on a global level, driven by the forces of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
Order -- Chaos -- New Order.
The objective of social revolution is not to immediately establish a new order, but to dismantle the existing one—to induce anarchy and generate chaos from the remnants of the previous structure. In socialist literature, the state is often depicted as an oppressive instrument serving dominant interest groups—whether feudal, bourgeois, or oligarchic—and, as such, is deemed an obstacle to societal transformation that must be abolished without proposal of any alternative to it. While the revolutionary narrative emphasizes spontaneity, history reveals that the ideological frameworks and emerging factions that ultimately assume power often take shape long before the upheaval begins. A temporary, transitional government is typically formed in the aftermath, followed by waves of internal purges and realignments. This process gradually consolidates authority into the hands of a new political hierarchy, culminating in the establishment of a communist government and the rise of a reconstituted elite, positioned to define the new order.
1: Revolution as a Framework for Collective Action Problems
Revolutions serve as frameworks for societal reprogramming, dissolving old identities and cultural norms to resolve collective action problems. Chaos erodes existing cohesion, creating space for pre-formed ideological groups to guide reconstruction. In this void, new modes of production, technologies, and methods are further integrated in people's lives, while societal narratives are rewritten to establish a new normal. The result is not just a shift in governance, but the systematic imposition of a new technological and thus adequate ideological order, enforced through identity erasure, cultural disruption, and the reorientation of collective purpose.
2: Terror as a condition of Societal Reprogramming
Terror serves as the essential mechanism for this transformation, mirroring tactics historically used during religious impositions, such as witch hunts. Public spectacles of fear and punishment break lingering attachments to the old order while conditioning collective behavior to align with the new ideological framework. This fear-induced conformity accelerates identity erasure, cultural fragmentation, and the internalization of new norms. As the old societal logic dissolves, the emerging hierarchy consolidates power, solidifying the new system through both psychological coercion and structural realignment.
Dictatorship and Terror of new orders.
"A revolution is not a dinner party… it cannot be so refined, so leisurely and gently... A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one class overthrows another." Mao Zedong
This perspective reflects the application of dialectical materialism, viewing societal progress as emerging from the conflict between opposing classes, thereby justifying the use of revolutionary violence to dismantle the old socioeconomic order.
Regarding the assertion that "Mao’s campaigns targeted the bourgeoisie, landowners, and intellectual elites to clear the way for the 'new socialist man,'" historical records corroborate this claim. During the Cultural Revolution (1966–1976), Mao initiated movements aimed at purging elements he considered counter-revolutionary. The "Five Black Categories" identified for persecution included landlords, rich farmers, counter-revolutionaries, bad influencers, and rightists.
Intellectuals were also targeted during this period. Many were subjected to "struggle sessions," where they faced public humiliation, persecution, and even violence. These sessions were designed to eradicate old cultural and intellectual influences, paving the way for the creation of the "new socialist man."
In summary, Mao Zedong utilized dialectical materialism to justify revolutionary violence against groups such as the bourgeoisie, landowners, and intellectuals, aiming to eliminate remnants of the old socioeconomic order and foster a new socialist society
The underlying social technology and methodology of revolutions:
The Principle of Utilization of underlying Contradictions.
It is contradictions/obstacles on the way that become a way; that is from conflict that progress possible;
Philosophy
Hegel's Dialectics: Thesis --> Antithesis --> Syntheses.
Existing state -- Problems -- Solutions.
Original state - Status Quo; Either induced or naturally arising contradictions accumulate; A direction, new future, a solution is then proposed (choices); Critical mass of unsatisfied is reached and they represent sustainable momentum.
Marx's Historical materialism combined with Hegel's dialectics.
Dialectical materialism reinterpreted Hegelian dialectics in concrete, material terms, proposing that technological development drives societal evolution through a pattern of contradiction, conflict, and synthesis. This framework became a cornerstone of Marxist ideology, shaping revolutionary movements and state-building strategies across the 20th century.
Dialectical materialism proposes that material conditions—particularly economic ones—drive societal change, not abstract ideas. The development of productive forces leads to changes in social relations, and this, in turn, leads to ideological and political shifts.
Emphasis is shifted from Conflict and Straggle of life to Class struggle: "The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles."
"Dialectical materialism is used to justify revolutionary violence as a method of eliminating the carriers of the old socioeconomic order. Mao’s campaigns targeted the bourgeoisie, landowners, and intellectual elites to clear the way for the "new socialist man."
"Lenin applied dialectical materialism to argue that the bourgeois state must be completely dismantled to prevent the old order from reemerging. The revolution acts as the antithesis to the current capitalist thesis, leading to the synthesis of a classless society."
Just as feudalism gave way to capitalism, capitalism, in turn, contains contradictions—primarily between labor (proletariat) and capital (bourgeoisie)—which would eventually lead to socialism.
While revolution technologies are a primary tool for socioeconomic resets, revolutions are the product of prolonged, latent processes that develop well before their visible emergence. By the time these forces manifest, the window for effective preparation is often gone. If you found yourself in any of privileged interest groups - Act early.
V. Analysis
Patterns and the Complete Cycle of Socioeconomic Reset
(Section is in reworking)
The future can be foreknown. By studying the past, discerning patterns of systemic change, and observing markers of these patterns in current political and social developments—such as policymaking and social dynamics—we can anticipate the course of events and prepare for what lies ahead.
Resets are initiated when conditions are met. All changes occur or conducted at the rate of natural capability for change of the medium - masses of human resource.
The features, traits and approximate sequence of events in "Industrial Revolution - New Order" Cycles:
1. New technologies and initial integration; New break-through technology gets introduced; initial transformation and activities;
2. An accelerating inequality;
3. New dangerous narratives and ideologies emerge; initial division; development and spread of critical theories;
4. Initial waves of migrations; contributing factor to growing inequality and discord;
5. Initial markers of Financial crisis; monetary policy adjustments; changes in economic order (Federal reserve, gold standard to fiat currency system on global level; digital money; current digital block-chain-credit medium for record of transactions, during WWIII will be implemented on global scale)
6. Wars; Local conflicts - weakening economically and creating 'precedent' for the target countries by proxy wars or by help to allies engagements;
7. Propaganda and stronger divisions; critical theories are propagated and get first test in the field;
8. Backward societies' revolutions; elimination of oppressors and privileged classes; internalization of the region.
9. Disruptive event type 1: Pandemics;
10. More migrations; critical mass;
11. Rise of nationalistic sentiment (depends on the region)
12. More disruptive events (depending on the region and period);
13. Stronger markers of economic crises;
14. Market crash;
15. New governments & new policies (in backward societies); socialization, nationalization/centralization of control, collectivization. Rapid and effective 'industrialization' or recovery (like Soviets or Germany), development and militarization enabled by centralization of power, effective policies, and new technologies in military sector.
16. Growing scale of Wars (earlier regional, later global). War on exhaustion, economic (human resource) war with a target of elimination of local groups, ethnicity, nationalities (western philosophy wars which unlike eastern ones - "capturing everything under the heaven intact without bloodshed" type of strategies.)
17. New economic, political, and technological order.
At first, technological, political, economic, financial, social changes come gradually in waves. Usually, several precision wars, revolutions, pandemics, economic order shifts and policies adjustments occur during the cycle with one big one for each. As new and more disruptive technologies emerge, the scale and magnitude of transformations, disruptions, and shifts deepens. Corruption, social unrest, revolutions, new regimes' policies and enforcement and wars play important roles in the cycle.
Overall, socioeconomic resets have several stages:
1. First signs of technological disruption, accelerating inequality and social unrest. First wave of acceleration and integration of initial innovation of current industrial revolution.
2a. Crises. Either financial or broader socioeconomic. More or less radical social transformations/revolutions and/or change in governments or policies (at least) (depending on the region and the mode of the society); in case with radical restructurings as in the case with backward societies, full-blown change of ideologies - norms and values - occur.
2b. Second wave of revolutionaries wipes out the first one (reasons are below).
2c. New government, new policies, new order. Two waves of cleansing (in the societies with radical change in course/ideologies/religions).
3. Unification of a "new nation" (Soviets) or of a nation under a "new deal" (The U.S., Germany), around some problem - crises or an enemy; In XX century, by different means, but with the same outcomes, counties like the U.S, Soviets, and China have conducted their leaps forward by employing labor of people for public work. Crisis and hunger facilitated dedicated work, not so much the patriotism. This is the second phase of acceleration and integration of new technologies.
4. Wars; Unification of nations against the enemies; division into two camps. On the last stage of the cycle the elimination of the rest of old fashioned people occur in 'backward' regions, with their further internalization through cycles of migration and resettlements. Afterwards, the refreshed nation is ready for installation of new technologies and order. The third phase of tech acceleration and integration of the advancements brought about by the latest industrial revolution occur. Wars, thus plays a special role in "industrial revolution - new order cycle" and integration of the new technologies.
Depending on the region (Center or Periphery) and the preexisting societal structure, the sequence of events, measures, and means during socioeconomic resets can vary significantly. In less developed, or "backward," societies, the reordering of social and economic systems often precedes industrialization, serving as a catalyst for modernization. In these cases, fully developed ideologies, such as socialism, are used to disrupt existing orders, while communism often emerges as the framework for driving the new order and centralizing resources.
In the patterns of establishing new social orders through revolutions, it is notable that socialist revolutions are conducted and led by individuals with psychopathic traits—or outright psychopaths—who play a pivotal role in dismantling the preexisting order. These individuals, driven by their ambition, lack of empathy, and propensity for chaos, become perfect tool for effective execution of the task of deconstruction of societal structures and hierarchies. They target and eliminate the elites and interest groups of the old regime, such as military leaders, academics, and economic power holders.
However, their utility is limited to this initial stage of deconstruction and transitional chaos. As the revolution progresses into its second stage, these individuals themselves become obstacles to the emerging new order. Their personalities, motives, and lack of developmental alignment with the goals of a stable regime make them resistant to further progress, often seeking to maintain their own newfound power and the status quo of disorder. Consequently, they are systematically eliminated or marginalized by succeeding groups—those responsible for constructing and solidifying the new order.
This cycle of disposable revolutionaries highlights their role as agents of chaos and transition, rather than builders of a sustainable system. They are replaced by more ideologically aligned and organized groups capable of establishing the structures, policies, and centralized authority required to consolidate power and advance the socioeconomic reset. (See examples in "II. The Socioeconomic Resets of the Past" on this page.)
We must also consider the role of the system of checks and balances and the broader balance of power, often employed under the principle of "divide to rule." This grand strategy has historically allowed different modes of regimes to operate across various regions during cycles of "industrial revolution to new order." These regimes were tailored to the unique sociopolitical, cultural, and economic conditions of each region, ensuring that systemic control could be maintained even amidst significant disruption.
However, across all regions and countries, a noticeable trend has emerged: the socialization of national systems and the increasing consolidation of state power. This shift often manifested as greater state intervention in economic, social, and political spheres, seen through the rise of centralized governance, expanded welfare policies, and the reorganization of societal structures to align with the demands of the new industrial and forthcoming technological digital order. Whether through authoritarian regimes, welfare states, or collectivized systems, the growing authority of the state has been a recurring feature of these transformative periods.
Another notable factor is the role of migration and how the integration or assimilation of migrants unfolds. These dynamics can serve as indicators of the trajectory a country or region is likely to follow. For example, in the United States, pre- and post- Spanish Flu pandemic migration and integration were accompanied by policies fostering a growing sense of unity, laying the foundation for the country's economic and geopolitical rise in subsequent decades. In contrast, in countries like Germany and Russia during their respective reorganizational periods, migration coincided with the rise of nationalistic sentiment, leading to fragmentation, exclusionary policies, and, ultimately, societal conflict.
The unconventional reasons for migration and other events and policies can be discussed during our private information sessions.

Predicted Future Patterns: Lessons from History
-
Economic Instability: As automation and AI displace workers, financial systems may face increased inequality and crises akin to the Great Depression.
-
Pandemics and Hunger.
-
Digital threats vulnerabilities: our society infrastructure is more than ever dependent on internet, electricity, and communication.
-
Revolutions and Social Upheaval: Resistance to inequality and authoritarianism could fuel movements demanding radical reform.
-
Global Conflicts: As historical cycles suggest, rising ideologically driven powers and unresolved tensions may lead to large-scale wars, with new technologies shaping their scope and devastation.
