You appear to be putting forth crucial issues. FS movement is definite 
to prove a point here, when it finally brings down one such 'goliath' 
within the 'core'. While 'progress' that you mentioned is working in 
favour of this 'core' or 'centre' through manipulative moves, this 
movement now stands a good chance of claiming victory by organising 
the 'periphery' towards a common goal. The movement, by then would 
have acquired a huge proposition with a lot of workforce behind it, 
from where the next important 'reproduction of inequality' can be 
addressed. Perhaps, it would be for this reason, that 'technology' 
would be remembered for generations, in achieving, what has so far 
eluded most philosophers, towards, suggesting a safe way out. Since 
most of them in their own areas, have already created necessary 
'backups', recreating glory and prosperity may not be all that 
difficult. 
Moreover these issues are not just confined to inner circles of 
philosophers,of late, they have been projected even by the CIA, for 
instance, the growing 'inequality and power divide' has been 
identified as the most 'possible' cause behind the unrest, that the 
developed nations are currently worried about. This should not idle us 
from going ahead, as the 'core' needs to be scared, for it to get 
'adjusted' to being 'less violent', in order for our 'governments' to 
acquire some amount of confidence, to be real 'alternatives' and not 
just 'alternations'.
