Doug Casey Discusses the Global Elite's Plan for Feudalism 2.0... And How You Can Resist
Doug Casey's Analysis of the Global Elite's Agenda
Doug Casey, in an interview with International Man, expressed his concern over the global elite's apparent hostility towards the middle class. He believes that the elite are attempting to implement a modernized version of feudalism, which could lead to the extinction of the middle class due to rising inflation and taxation.
According to Casey, the middle class, or the bourgeoisie, emerged following the demise of feudalism and the onset of the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, and the Industrial Revolution. He argues that the bourgeoisie, who are often negatively portrayed by leftists as materialistic and status-obsessed, pose a threat to the elite. Unlike the lower class, who are content with their lot in life, the bourgeoisie strive for more.
Historical Context of the Bourgeoisie
Historically, the term bourgeoisie referred to city dwellers who were independent and owned their own trades and businesses. This independence allowed them to escape the control of the feudal warrior elites. Cities became intellectual centers, where the wealth of the bourgeoisie provided the means to advance in fields such as science, technology, engineering, literature, and medicine. Universities expanded education beyond theology, and commerce and personal freedom attracted the best of the peasants, who rose to the middle class.
However, the emergence of the bourgeoisie and the subsequent development of capitalism did not sit well with the ruling classes, who preferred to maintain their societal dominance. Casey believes that the global elite, many of whom originated from the middle class, are now attempting to suppress the remaining bourgeoisie.
The End Game
Casey speculates that the end game could resemble the plot of the movie Rollerball, where the masses are kept entertained while the elite, in the form of a corporate aristocracy, control society.
Universal Basic Income, Drugs, and Video Games
Prominent World Economic Forum (WEF) member Yuval Harari has suggested using a universal basic income, drugs, and video games to keep the "useless class" docile and occupied. Casey views Harari as a court intellectual for the WEF, providing an intellectual framework to justify the actions and plans of the power members.
Casey also questions the role of the Covid-19 pandemic and the subsequent vaccine in Harari's vision. He suggests that the pandemic and the vaccine could be part of a plan to cleanse the world of "useless eaters".
Comparison to Medieval Feudalism
Casey compares the WEF's vision of "you will own nothing and be happy" to the feudal system of medieval Europe. He believes that the massive amount of debt in society today could turn middle-class Americans into modern serfs.
Resistance Against Feudalism 2.0
Casey believes that trends tend to stay in motion until they reach a crisis point. He predicts that the bankruptcy of most of the world's governments, including the US, will lead to wealthy corporations and individuals supplanting traditional governments, resulting in a form of neo-feudalism.
Preventing Becoming Modern Serfs
To avoid becoming modern serfs, Casey suggests striving for both physical and financial freedom. He advises against being tied down in one place and recommends internationalizing assets to avoid them being controlled by one government. From a financial perspective, he suggests using gold and Bitcoin as a means of maintaining freedom to travel and move.
Bottom Line
The future is likely to be politically, economically, and socially volatile. Preparing for this volatility could be the difference between suffering significant losses and coming out ahead.
