re: What happens if the rule of law completely breaks down and anarchy rules

The power elite of our nation will lash together mercenary armies to liquidate those who are not down with the New Order. The society that emerges will be composed of Leaders (the power elite), Keepers of Peace (middle class) and Subs (the poor, who are now officially classified as subhuman). A millennium of horrifying butchery will ensue. It should be fun.
