A worrying shift in ideology has used the Covid-19 pandemic to increase its influence in Europe Union government under the pretence of offering a solution to combating the coronavirus crisis.

A covert campaign submerged under the name #ZeroCovid is confusing infection prevention with a radical utopian overhaul of Western societies. The outcome is to undermine long-standing principles of personal liberty, private property ownership, and the freedom of movement curtailed and controlled much as happened in pre-war Bolshevik Russia.

To date, the abhorrent initiative has been signed by some 70.000 academics, journalists, scientists, and political activists associated with far-left militant movements who are among the signatories of the document.

Even though the dangers the program represents to democratic societies, the proposal is now being discussed at the government level in countries ranging from the United Kingdom to Germany. It has been reported that German Chancellor Angela Merkel had invited one of the prominent signatories of the petition before the federal state summit to present her proposals. This would mark a watershed moment for the formation of new post-COVID societies in the European Union.

Supposedly, the aim of the proposal is to eliminate the disease by shutting down ‘those parts of the economy which are not urgently needed for society’. Factories, offices, companies, construction sites, and schools are closed and the duty to work must be put on hold.

This break is intended to last for as long as it takes. It is suggested that trade unions should organize what the globalist cabal call a ‘large collective break’. The initiative calls for isolating people at home, and for an end to ‘forced collective accommodation’, demanding that all refugees should be housed individually after being scattered throughout the community of unwilling and unhappy hosts.

With an astonishing lack of understanding for what an essential role private venture and capital play in the pharmaceutical industry, the globalists call for an end to ‘private profit-making’ in the development of vaccines. In their view, vaccines should ‘belong to all of humanity’.  Such a move would result in a mass exodus of pharmaceutical companies from Europe, and could further delay the already chaotic vaccine acquisition process into the unknown future.

The method of financing such a globalists project would proceed via the confiscation of private property of those considered well-off, and raiding the capital of businesses that have amassed a certain level of finances for their operations. This would be a move which would also presumably result in many of the signatories also having their own property seized.

‘We demand the introduction of a European Covid-solidarity tax on high wealth, company profits, financial transactions, and the highest incomes,’ claim the authors of the petition.

The individuals behind the initiative have clearly modelled their aims and methods on the British left-wing extremist movement called ‘Extinction Rebellion’. This organisation has caused enormous disruption and financial damage to the UK.

Referring to their ‘comrades in the UK’, they also want to go down the path of fighting against what they refer as ‘short-term profit’. The globalist breakaway pledged to struggle against ‘large parts of the political sphere’ in declaration that have Marxist undertones.

It is unclear if the clueless and corrupted political elites, chief among them the German chancellor, find this radical Marxist solution to the pandemic acceptable or even an attractive out of naivety, populist intentions or genuine ideological alignment.

One commentator had compared it to the radical green movement’s ‘Great Reset’ championed by the International Monetary Fund which would abandon Western-style capitalism in favour of a climate-friendly green future and a new social contract to go with it.

Among the signatories there are also members of migrant rescue NGOs and even an author who had praised left-wing extremists who beat up AfD member of the Bundestag Frank Magnitz.

Apart from the fact that the methods for eradicating the disease proposed by the Zero Covid initiative would probably be ineffective and impossible to implement, the radical and undemocratic Marxist agenda masquerading as health advice needs to be carefully evaluated by Europe’s policymakers.

The momentum that this dangerous petition had garnered in European political and financial circles is a result of a chronic complacency on the part of those who are meant to protect fundamental freedoms on the one hand, and the left-ward radicalisation of Western opinion elites on the other.

The seeds of a utopian totalitarianism sown by initiatives such as Zero Covid, Extinction Rebellion and the Great Reset may just find a fertile ground in devastated economies and parallel societies that could emerge from the global pandemic. Source
