The Dark Money interests are most successful when they are by spreading doubt. I have another post on how the Dark Money does its stuff, and I am not bringing it here. In essence, the secretive Dark Money hires people to cast doubt on anyone who fails to believe in pure plutocracy or that those who own the assets have responsibility to the rest of humanity.
The Dark Money dream is of a world in which workers are helpless serfs who get only what the economic elites deem appropriate. Should those elites decide that people die because they are not adequate contributors to their wealth or foment dissent, then those people can die. That's basically Nazi Germany without the militarism and genocide. Nazi Germany, even without the military aggression and the systematic murders of millions, was a workers' Hell. Workers were serfs in all but name, unable to quite their jobs to work elsewhere, unable to organize unions (there was the German Labor Front, but it was basically one all-encompassing company union that fleeced workers for dues, exhorted workers to toil harder under harsher conditions for ever less, and arranged for occasional respites in which people might have gotten the opportunity to do calisthenics on a stage made to look like the Alps or a beach on the Black or North Sea. Workers got fleeced for such "vacations".
I can think of three words to describe how I would respond to such an order.
I HATE LIFE!
One is free under tyranny only if indifferent to his personal survival. Except to survive to outlast the vile order, what purpose could there be in an honest lifer? The Gods that the elites recognize and demand that the rest of us treat as such (themselves, as is so with all narcissists, sociopaths, and psychopaths!) are themselves frauds.
May things never get that bad! I'm old and broke. I have seen just about everything that I am likely to ever see.

The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
