mises | The basic idea of the Great Reset is the same principle that guided
the radical transformations from the French to the Russian and Chinese
Revolutions. It is the idea of constructivist rationalism incorporated
in the state. But projects like the Great Reset leave unanswered the
question of who rules the state. The state itself does not rule. It is
an instrument of power. It is not the abstract state that decides, but
the leaders of specific political parties and of certain social groups.
Earlier totalitarian regimes needed mass executions and concentration
camps to maintain their power. Now, with the help of new technologies,
it is believed, dissenters can easily be identified and marginalized.
The nonconformists will be silenced by disqualifying divergent opinions
as morally despicable.
The 2020 lockdowns possibly offer a preview of how this system works.
The lockdown worked as if it had been orchestrated—and perhaps it was.
As if following a single command,
the leaders of big and small nations—and of different stages of
economic development—implemented almost identical measures. Not only did
many governments act in unison, they also applied these measures with
little regard for the horrific consequences of a global lockdown.
Months of economic stillstand have destroyed the economic basis of
millions of families. Together with social distancing, the lockdown has
produced a mass of people unable to care for themselves. First,
governments destroyed the livelihood, then the politicians showed up as
the savior. The demand for social assistance is no longer limited to
specific groups, but has become a need of the masses.
Once, war was the health of the state. Now
it is fear of disease. What lies ahead is not the apparent coziness of a
benevolent comprehensive welfare state with a guaranteed minimum income
and healthcare and education for all. The lockdown and its consequences
have brought a foretaste of what is to come: a permanent state of fear,
strict behavioral control, massive loss of jobs, and growing dependence
on the state.
With the measures taken in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, a
big step to reset the global economy has been made. Without popular
resistance, the end of the pandemic will not mean the end of the
lockdown and social distancing. At the moment, however, the opponents of
the new world order of digital tyranny still have access to the media
and platforms to dissent. Yet the time is running out. The perpetrators
of the new world order have smelled blood. Declaring the coronavirus a
pandemic has come in handy to promote the agenda of their Great Reset.
Only massive opposition can slow down and finally stop the extension of
the power grip of the tyrannical technocracy that is on the rise.
