Try to think of something advanced but theoretically possible that would rapidly proliferate. No weapons.

My first thought was some kind of farm tech leading to a second agricultural revolution, allowing AES countries to thrive despite sanctions. Some leap forward in permaculture or vertical farms or whatever.

Another idea was a breakthrough in cryptography makings comms be completely anonymous, giving insurgent movements a more even playing field.

All of them tbh. It's not the tech that makes the system but the way it's implemented within it. The PC, the internet, mobile telephony, all have changed the way we live and yet havent brought about the end of capitalism.

The only way to have full equality under capitalism is to have full nuclear proliferation on an individual level
