1. Middle class being destroyed or absent with a huge and constantly growing gap in wealth between a tiny very rich class and the struggling to survive bulk of the population.
2. Inadequate and collapsing infrastructure.
3. Government constantly expanding its size and scope to maximize control over the population, performing just enough traditional functions to maintain a facade of legitimacy, while actually engaged primarily in (i) bestowing power and wealth on members and supporters of whatever gang has seized control of its institutions, and (ii) perpetuating or at least maximizing the controlling gang's hold on power.
Seem familiar?
