    Will the oligarchs let this happen? It certainly doesn’t look likely in my generation, especially in the US (where it looks unlikely for much much longer).

      We had feudalism and it’s selfish precursors ever since man started working together, let’s be generous and say about the time agriculture started so approx 6000ish years ago and it took that long to get to a “halfway mark” and still only about half the planet has functioning democracy, and like any good project the last 10% takes 90% of the time, but technological advancement gave us instant global communication so social development already has the maximal social access, increasing the speed of the development of social consciousness, this will only increase as people have more free time to engage with other people instead of survival, so a conservative estimate would put social utopia somewhere around 4,000 years from now. Give or take.
