Good points. I was referring to Thatcher and the start of the neoliberal policies which led to 2008 crash and then the austerity which led from it.

As for the neolithic revolution thing. Have you read The Dawn of Everything? That book disputes quite forcefully the idea that agriculture led to class structures etc. They state that this idea is outdated and has since been disproven by archeological findings. Some ancient agrarian societies were tyrannical, others were not. In the same way some forager groups were heirachical and even had slaves and some were far more egalitarian. It’s an excellent book.

I found it powerful as it presents the idea that we choose how we live to a large extent. It’s not determined by our mode of food production/technology alone (and therefore may not be doomed).

Class war has been on since 1979.

Is there any way to build a library for a NAS without illegally downloading it?
