We know the ultimate goal is a completely "benevolent" totalitarian model, with a central economic function.
But, in order to achieve that, the populations must be steered in such a way that the people will welcome their new Secular Progressive overlords.
How to do that? Turn everything we've known to complete and utter dishevelment, and have a new program ready to roll out.
Some problems, though... In order to control an otherwise free population, you have to 1) disarm them, 2) make them suffer economically, 3) make them dependent, and 4) provide just above subsistence level care... all in the guise of a free-choice system.
Our system is well on the way to that, IMO. They just can't quite seem to get over the hump, though, because people here still love and remember freedom, and are starting to see through the veneer.
This is where we need to be most vigilant. Informing people that it doesn't have to go that route.
