Yes, but the scheme cannot scale very well. Already, many people can see the flaws and they're becoming increasingly obvious. New people cannot be brainwashed fast enough and the costs of the bureaucracy are bringing us to the brink of global hyperinflation.

As a tech guy, it's painful to watch (and especially participate in this) because I can see how technology creates efficiencies which allow the inefficient scheme to keep going longer.

It's like putting a jetpack and roller skates on a horse... At what point do we admit that the horse has become the problem?
