BR - I wanted to read through all this before I answered your question about my statement of compromise.
I am not a big government guy. Sadly, I think it is inevitable that the government will dwarf the leviathan we see today. How big it gets, and what "countries" are under its rule is a question. The rule based society, "nation of laws", "political correctness", "social justice", "socialism, aka (working for the state)" will grow and grow, all in the quest to bring forced "harmony and fairness".
In this new world, there will be rulers, quasi elected leaders. There will always be a wealthy controlling class, a very small percentage of the population, some will always be set apart from the masses.
This eventually will collapse. When? Who knows? How far will it get? Who knows? Maybe we have reached the breaking point. Or, maybe we are just getting started.
The collapse is the compromise. Extremes never exist forever. Extremes run their course. Their tempering is the compromise.
Will the compromise be violent or will it come about peaceably? Who knows?
Or not.
