      Just how the Black death was great for the working class. The plague didn’t discriminate. So the guilds collapsed and regular people could take up professions exclusive they was locked out of earlier.

      Best thing that happened for reform was the black death. Almost as if toppling the social elite is net positive for everyone.

      Maybe this one will end capitalism.

      Maybe but I get the impression the next iteration will be worse, not better - an authoritarian slave state dressed up as socialism or something. You don’t need money to be poor after all.
