Under Capitalism, the rich become powerful.
Under Socialism, the powerful become rich.
Under Socialism, government employees become powerful.
That's the central problem. But there's one big difference between rich capitalists, and powerful government bureaucrats: the rich eventually die off, and taxes eat up a big portion of their estates. By the 3rd generation, their grandkids are right back in the middle class – or worse. Also, in a free market anyone can get rich, or at least prosper.
On the other hand, a Socialist bureaucracy never dies. It is nameless, faceless, constantly growing, and completely unaccountable (how many EPA heads rolled when they deliberately detroyed the beautiful Animas river? None. Not even a reprimand was issued!)
One of Karl Marx' fears was of an indestructible, immortal, and all-powerful bureaucracy, accountable to only a very select few.
That's what we're seeing. That's the situation in the EU now. Look up some of Nigel Farage's videos. He calls them on it, but they don't care. He bluntly asked the EU President, "Who elected you?" They don't answer because they don't care. They have total (unelected) power.
Now, imagine that you're an EU serf/taxpayer with a grievance. Suppose you can show, chapter and verse, that the EU is breaking its own laws and causing you immense grief. Do you think you will get recourse?
Not a chance. The bureaucracy closes ranks, and the average peon is totally screwed.
And that's what's happening here. But amazingly, there are fools who still push for a world government! As George Orwell said, if that happens, those thugs will have their boot on your face... "...for ever."
His interviewer asked what could be done about that? Orwell's answer: "Don't let them do it." But how to stop them, he didn't say.
It's up to each of us in our own way, no?

Comment on the future amiraka. some thoughts
The DMV is the boilerplate template for all the other facets of gov't.
ALL of them.
Never forget it.
You are better than them, as long as you believe you are.
Something like 80% of all gov't employees are *minorities* and 80% of them are wimminz.
Of the remaining 20%, 80% of them are wimminz.
Is it any wonder the gov't is like it is?
~ imagine the bacterial habitat under them 3" purple fingernails ~
~ ever smelled dreadlocks as they waddled past? like sewage and used axle grease in an unvented basement ~

guy is driving around the back woods of Montana and he sees a sign in

bell and the owner appears and tells him the dog is in the backyard.
The guy goes into the backyard and sees a nice looking Labrador
retriever sitting there.
'You
talk?' he asks.
'Yep,' the Lab replies.
After the guy recovers from the shock of hearing a dog talk, he says
'So, what's your story?'
The Lab looks up and says, 'Well, I discovered that I could
talk when I was pretty young. I wanted to help the government, so... I
told the CIA.
In no time at all they had me jetting from country to country, sitting
in rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one figured a dog
would be eavesdropping.'
'I was one of their most valuable spies for eight years
running...
But the jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn't getting
any younger so I decided to settle down. I signed up for a job at the
airport to do some undercover security, wandering near suspicious
characters and listening in. I uncovered some incredible dealings and
was awarded a batch of medals.'
'I got married, had a mess of puppies, and now I'm just retired.'
The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants fortalk?' he asks.
'Yep,' the Lab replies.
