Formerly Stable Economic Systems Will Be Thrown Into Disarray, Leading Eventually To The Kind Of Anarchy Foretold In Movies Like Mad Max.
If the peak oil theory is right, the Iraq war, terrible though it is, will be remembered -- like the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand or the Nazi invasion of Poland -- as a mere prelude to a much bloodier affair. According to proponents like Kenneth Deffeyes and Colin Campbell, the coming decline in oil supplies will trigger privations in seemingly unconnected economic sectors. Industrial agriculture, for instance, depends heavily on oil and so much of the world's population will face starvation in a future of dwindling fossil fuels. Many oil-peakers speak of a coming "die-off," as the world population adjusts to the resources available to it -- by perishing in the billions from war, famine, exposure, and civil unrest.

Death Camps Wouldn't Have Been Possible Without IBM.
There is a man that runs the Holocaust Museum in Richmond, VA who spent a year as a child living in a potato cellar dug into a field in Eastern Europe to escape the SS and death. When he asks tour groups, "Do you think that the holocaust could happen again?" they say no.
They answer the same when he asks, "Do you think it could ever happen in the United States?"
He insists that as soon as you write it off as a possibility, and say, "It'll never happen here," or, "Never again, anywhere," that is exactly when it will.
