In many, many ways I see an effort to push us back to a pre-modern culture. The serfs should do the work, but should own little. The Elites should live in the nice castle on top of the hill. Truth is a mystery and cannot be known by most people (although the Elite have the hidden knowledge).

Wat Tyler wound up as the Wat Tylers of the world always wind up, captured and executed. Wat Tyler wăs acting from his own superstition. If he were a member of the elite he would have been a zero-sum socialist.
