I have often argued that the ultimate goal of the Tranzi Totalitarian Progressives is to establish a Neo-Feudal system. This is the reason they hype climate change. It’s so regular people give up their standards of living while the global elites continue to have big houses, good cars, private jets and yachts. Their global economic policies also are a step in this process. Progressives seek to marry big business with government and prevent competition through high taxes and regulations. This creates economic elites who live great, while the majority of people are dependent on the government for survival. Just like Serfs who were dependent on their feudal lords. This is the vision of Progressivism.
According to Friedrich von Hayek, the development of welfare socialism after World War II undermined freedom and would lead western democracies inexorably to some form of state-run serfdom.
Hayek had the sign and the destination right but was entirely wrong about the mechanism. Unregulated finance, the ideology of unfettered free markets, and state capture by corporate interests are what ended up undermining democracy both in North America and in Europe. All industrialized countries are at risk, but it’s the eurozone – with its vulnerable structures – that points most clearly to our potentially unpleasant collective futures.
As a result of the continuing euro crisis, European Central Bank (ECB) now finds itself buying up the debt of all the weaker eurozone governments, making it the – perhaps unwittingly – feudal boss of Europe. In the coming years, it will be the ECB and the European Union who dictate policy. The policy elite who run these structures – along with their allies in the private sector – are the new overlords.
We can argue about who exactly are the peasants, the vassals, and the lords under this model – and what services exactly will end up being exchanged. But there is no question we are seeing a sea change in the post-war system of property, power, and prosperity across Western Europe, just as Hayek feared. An overwhelming debt burden will bring down even the proudest people.

Progressives have brainwashed billions of people around the world for the last 150 years with the concept of Social Justice. In reality, this is just a means to get people dependent on government and accept their inferior status. The elites will live well while the rest of us struggle to get by.
