If the government collapsed, I would just start another one.

1)I'd get somebody like Little Hawk to stand up and say all that conciliatory that stuff he always says, and point to him as "The New Hope".

2) I'd call Bobert and Gnu and Old Dude "The Three Kind Tough Guys", and have them talk about how, if we want a kinder, freer society, we've got to get tough with a small group of greedy opportunists and malcontents who have spoiled things for everybody, and caused the collapse in the first place.

3)Then I would gather up all the thugs and bullies and gun nuts and give them "New Hope" badges and march them through the streets, to gather up the greedy opportunists and malcontents and restore order for the public good.

4) With each new arrest, the "Three Kind Tough Guys" would talk about how we are building a new future by erasing the injustices of the past. Little Hawk could show everyone that we are finally creating a society that fullfills our ideals.

5) I would get someone like Henry Krinkle to lead armies of "Henry Krinkle Brigades" who plow under the playgrounds of the rich privileged and build large, new cinder block arenas "for all the people".

6) I'd temporarily close the universities and gather up all the lawyers (like say, Richard Bridge) and well meaning but misguided bleeding hearts, (like, say Don and Ebbie), who don't support "The New Hope", and find ways to help them to understand.

7) After months of chaos, I would slowly give everyone their old jobs back, only with less pay, and fewer benefits.

Any questions?
