There's an inflection point where technology accrues too much power to a ruling class, such that no amount of unrest or revolution is able reset the social order.

I believe China has already passed this point. Their culture and individual behavior is tightly controlled (e.g., you can't use public bathrooms if your social score is too low).

AI may be the catalyst for western countries.
