The myth of progress has always been dressed in the language of control.
Every “innovation,” every “quantum revolution,” every “green miracle,” ends up as another ministry of truth — a temple built to manage obedience. The machine doesn’t serve you; it counts you.
Governments discovered long ago that power isn’t held by soldiers or votes — it’s held by the press that prints the money. They take the ledger, wrap it in bureaucracy, and call it “policy.” They build soft layers over hard truths until reality bends just enough to fund their next vanity project.
Hard money fails only when the state gets between the metal and the man. They dilute, tax, reissue, inflate — always softening what was once hard. They call it compassion. It’s theft with manners.
Every subsidy, every bailout, every “public good” is a monument to dependence. They spend not to build, but to signal. To pose. To feed the illusion that virtue can be printed.
Corporatism isn’t capitalism. It’s the aristocracy of lobbyists, a priesthood of licences and favours. Real capitalism is voluntary exchange — value for value — not the state’s cartel of chosen winners.
The only way out is to take money from their hands. To build systems that obey mathematics, not ministers. To make theft expensive again.
Until we do, nothing changes. You will work, they will spend, and they will call it progress.
