The richer we become, the less of a grip socialism has on the lower classes.
 That is why they are scrambling for new fronts such as the environment and immigration (import a new lower class and start again from the 1800:s).

A novel perspective.
Socialism relies on fresh victims to champion (but never actually fix), their victimhood., If they cease to be victims, why would they support Socialism?

“it should be clear by now to everyone that activist environmentalism (or environmental activism) is becoming a general ideology about humans, about their freedom, about the relationship between the individual and the state, and about the manipulation of people under the guise of a 'noble' idea. It is not an honest pursuit of 'sustainable development,' a matter of elementary environmental protection, or a search for rational mechanisms designed to achieve a healthy environment. Yet things do occur that make you shake your head and remind yourself that you live neither in Joseph Stalin’s Communist era, nor in the Orwellian utopia of 1984.”
