ought to also embrace Capitalism.
If you embrace Free Trade, austerity and the shock doctrine, combat drones and Homeland Security, you have in your hands the ultimate tool for population control.
Such a system starts the ball rolling by sending jobs out of the country, then accelerates the ball by cutting all support for those who lose their jobs, forcing them to starve. Without access to affordable health care, many will die before they get old enough to reproduce. A rising infant mortality and maternal mortality rate actually works for you in that regard.
To deal with those who conspire to fight back, or even gather to protest, you just take them out with drones. Be sure, of course, to accuse them of terrorism and get supporting statements from two Generals and the State Department, etc., so that the patriotic people will justify it by saying "hey, this is war, what do you want, to send troops in to die fighting these guys???" Drones, of course, can kill innocent bystanders, too. More population control!
And remember, the police have no Constitutional duty to protect anyone. Pull them back to protect your rich enclaves, or better yet, fuck it, get rid of the facade, lay off the police, and hire private contractors to protect you, wherever you can't simply send in a drone.
Remember to keep the poor population divided with your trusty Swiss Army Knife collection of dog whistles - black against white, Christians against atheists, gays against straights, and so on. If they start reconciling their differences, send in a few private contractor troops under disguise to kill a few people and get them back at each other's throats. I suggest you read up on colonialism in Rwanda and other nations for more in-depth strategies for keeping populations at war with each other. A little false flag never hurt anyone. Anyone important, that is.
Meanwhile, make sure to buy up clean water access rights, and confiscate those effing food forests that the poor might start growing. Remember, these food forests are unregulated, poorly handled, and are loaded with dangerous pests that might endanger the world's food supply. Plus they're unlicensed. And you have a vested interest in purchasing and owning the land under those food forests. Find whoever owns it and saddle them with liabilities until they're forced to give it up through liens.
Food supplies, including all the prime good stuff, come to YOU and your enclaves first, and what's left gets sold to the 99% at food shortage prices. (Read: horribly inflated.)
Dump your toxic waste in their drinking water or near their neighborhoods, not yours. If they protest, remember to follow the above-mentioned protocol for declaring them to be terrorists, then send in the drones. Be sure to tell the media to explain that said terrorists are plotting to cause a huge toxic spill, and if the toxic waste slowly leeches into the soil or water supply, find a lowly waste disposal worker, or maybe his manager, and throw him under the bus for incompetence. Sure, this will lead to a few environmental disasters - but it'll be disasters for them, not you and your enclave, where your water is protected and your soil is carefully managed! And in due time, they'll get sick and die of various cancers and you can simply clean up the mess and move in.
In due time, if you follow these guidelines, you will achieve the Georgia Guidestones' great goal of reducing the population to 500 million in a few generations. Then you can fulfill the Great Rmoney American Dream: Mansions for everyone!
