You just have to figure out who the civilization is for.
If it's for everyone, then you're a damn communist (presuming you've been conditioned to feel that "communism" is anti-survival, even though it's what Amish, Hutterites, Jewish Kibutz, Nuns, and Jesuit/Benedictine/Franciscan monks do... let's bet on who will be the first to confuse communism with Marxism/Leninism/Boulshevism).
If it's for those strong enough to fight for shareholder control of everything, using government as the shield and mass-media as the brain-washing tool to keep one thinking that voting will change things when in fact all it's doing is changing the way authority hits, and if you're one of those on the "I'm-King-of-the-Castle" dreaming-on-chanting side, then yeah... it's a dream come true... "Only in America" they say.
But what if we really *do* make it a dream-come-true... for those.
The US Army (I didn't say Navy nor Airforce nor Marines) has been sponsoring experiments yielding results on cure for battle-fatigue.
Battle-fatigue is also called shell-shock, and is also called Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Lots of drugs and therapies have been tried, but turns out - believe it or not - the best way found so-far is to stick them in an isolation tank and feed them replays of the experience, over and over again, until they get used to it enough to not freak out anymore.
If we adapt that technology onto the level of taking the economic-business-freak kids who get wired-up on the idea of becoming emporers via manipulation of economic rules through government (which they would have inherited as a tendancy from the homo-erganomaster days of how one had to hate and want to kill members of other tribes during that particular ice-age in order to get the food, when women stayed back taking care of kids while wondered if they would be sleeping with a different guy that night because the last one got killed) and stick them in isolation tanks that feed them a life-time of experience to make them feel like they've achieved their goals, and then find out how they are and what they're like after they feel like they've taken over the world.
In the mean time, we can have a more-stable economy without tankings like in 2007.
I got an idea.
The psychological twelve-year-old genetic-throwbacks to Homo-Erganomaster, allowed to get power and tank economies through idiots like Reagan because we have become so kind we can't believe beings like that are still alive because back in the ice-ages when food was precious and cooperation was necessary they would have been killed before the age of twelve for being such brats... now still just want to feel like "I'm King of the Castle, you're a Dirty Rascal".
They don't know what to do with those trillions of dollars of bailout money which they were supposed to spend back to keep the economy rolling.
Let's get them to spend it on figuring out the technology to freeze them into hybernation to be put on a ship to be blast to one of those planets we've discovered, for them to take over and become King there?
In order to save face they will say, "Bwahahaha that was our plan", but they don't know anything about where they are going.
