    Which is solved by … cartels? Private gun ownership? Terrorist/freedom-fighter groups?

    Warlords have monopolies on violence and even that is through terror, not actual power.

    The working class is just always so much larger than the ruling class (if it weren’t, there wouldn’t be an inequality problem to begin with).

    … most of witch regimes were set up and funded (weapons too) by the USA or Russia. Usually they were terrorist groups before forming a formal government. And the problem being that the status quo is usually the most profitable and politically beneficial (gives the mentioned colonisers more direct power over the de fuckto marionette countries).

    It’s by design.
    A lot of effort went into it and it’s a lot of effort to maintain such systems. You need PR along with movie studios, politicians on local, country, and global levels, lobbyists, para-gov agencies (like police unions), judges, etc. It’s a business full of people that do what they can to advance it.
