I think this is just a practice run.
First there's the undermining of socialist policies and working class institutions over a period of decades whilst promoting only the values of competition, consumerism, status and acquisition. Greed and selfishness are now good and we now measure success - through wealth and material gains.
The we've ensured people get poorer with zero-hours contracts, unemployment, underemployment, workfare systems and ideological Austerity. (Don't forget to blame lazy indigenous people and immigrants for this.)
Now we just make sure the media are there to film it all so we can just relax at home, and enjoy the show (maybe act shocked and surprised) when the poor fight over bargains. (Maybe have the police on standby.)
