Once again... dodging!
Xeno, would you please address me, in a straightforward fashion, about the following:
1: Elites can replace humans when possible, and can bribe humans when replacement isn't possible, which means oppression is inevitable because the elites don't have a dependence on masses.
2: The elites won't make the transition because, despite what may be best for society, it's in their interests to retain power.
3: Even if the elites cede power, another force could come into power to manipulate populations.
4: The elites have more weapons than simply brute force. Economic, political, or cultural warfare can exact the same goals as military warfare, and give the same power. Control of any important resource, spreading of a message, etc., can coopt your movement by fighting it tooth and nail.
There's only one argument you made that actually addresses anything: the oppressed can fight back the oppressor.
However...
1: The oppressed don't have the technology of the modern oppressor. Fighters, nuclear weapons, etc.
2: Don't even think of using Iraq as an example of how the oppressed can fight the oppressor, because the US is showing restraint. Once greater numbers, including their own population, becomes the enemy of the state, restraint for the purpose of protecting populations is meaningless since everyone is guilty. If the government wanted to, they could pick any number of ways of taking down populations, including:
A: Direct warfare.
B: Control of food supplies or other key resources. Can't endorse a post-modern, harmonious society when you're all starving!
C: Isolating regions, which prevents organized movements.
D: Screw it... just nuke em! Technology allows us to replace humans with machines when possible.
Oh, and you also said that this was all natural, not a "movement." Irrelevant. Society fights natural movements, transitions, or whatever the hell you want to call it. They're called "laws."
Edit: One more thing: possible contradiction.
Either 1) Society operates under the standards you lay out today, in which case it means the following:
A: The current system is the society you like,
B: Whatever powers exist today effectively facilitate your system, and
C: Means that the military-industrial complex, oil companies, or whatever force lurks behind politics is either:
a: non-existent, because it hasn't been erased, or
b: incapable of being removed because of my reasons above, meaning your transition is impossible, as I said above.
Or...
2) Society doesn't operate under the standards you lay out today, in which case it proves elites can fight off transitions, as it hasn't happened despite all these technological advances. Internet, television, etc.
Please, go through these one by one and answer them, as, from what I see, you seem to be dodging my responses.
