I'd also like to add that collectivism has been the death of just about every civilization in history. Those that were not ended by the sword and cut down in their prime, always imploded from within. Its happened over and over throughout history; a civilization will crumble and a new one will rise from it's ashes, adopting many of it's former laws, customs, and culture. The idea and role of " good" government always starts out small in the infancy stages of a civilization, but when you have greedy men that want to own and control everything, including their fellow man, gradualism always seeps in. The pen is mightier than the sword, remember? If men and women always take what they are told at face value without critically thinking for themselves, then totalitarianism always begins to rear it's ugly head.
The role always ends up reversed and government seeks to replace the Divine. We have been marching towards this culmination point as this is part of the overall plan and a natural life cycle. Empires have a life cycle just like we do, only on a macro scale. Everything in the universe moves in cycles: we're born, we grow and mature, we reproduce, we grow old, we die.
I recommend a very little known work by Oswald Spenglar called 'The Decline of the West' , written towards the end of WW I.

Current will always follow the path of least resistance and because people stay trapped in the vibration of fear and people don't want to learn how to take care of themselves. More of us need to be producing our own food and energy.
The all too common excuse is
"Well, I'd rather just pay someone for some food because I don't have time or I don't know how" Or...its easier?
The path of least resistance remember? In the digital era, we have become lazy and forgotten how to survive on our own, and they're trying to take us off the land because of it.
Does everyone know or remember Chairman Mao's "agrarian reforms"?
We have one foot on the land and one foot in the sea because everything in Commerce is under Admiralty Maritime /international law.

It's the beLIEf in authority that hinders most people from stepping off the beaten path. Fear is the pattern.
The irony is that they have the sheep policing the other sheep 🐑. Cops and soldiers are just mercenaries for hire and they don't even realize that they are being used for a much larger agenda and mocked while they're doing it!
