In a world increasingly shaped by powerful global entities, a disturbing movement is gaining momentum—one that threatens the very foundation of individual liberty and economic freedom. Behind closed doors and sometimes in plain sight, influential organizations are advancing an agenda that could fundamentally transform how we live, work, and own property.
The Shocking Declaration: “You Will Own Nothing and Be Happy”
The World Economic Forum (WEF) made waves in 2016 when they released a promotional video titled “Eight Predictions for the World in 2030.” The most alarming prediction stated plainly: “You will own nothing and you will be happy.”
This wasn’t a mere slip of the tongue. The WEF followed up with an article titled “Welcome to 2030: I own nothing, have no privacy, and life has never been better.” The piece describes a future where private ownership has been eliminated—no cars, no houses, no appliances, not even clothes.

“The Great Reset” appears to be the mechanism through which this transformation will occur. In 2014, the WEF website was updated with a “reset button,” signaling what was to come. As one critic noted: “This great reset is as serious and as dangerous a threat to our prosperity and your freedom as we have faced in decades.”
The Historical Precedent for Collectivization
This push against private property isn’t new. Karl Marx famously summarized communism in one sentence: “Abolish all private property.” Nearly a century later, Chairman Mao Zedong implemented collectivization policies in China through his “Great Leap Forward” program.
The results were catastrophic:

- Over one million landowners were executed
- 650 million Chinese were dragged into economic chaos
- An unprecedented famine killed approximately 45 million people
Despite this horrific history, today’s economic globalists appear to admire aspects of the Chinese model. The fundamental philosophy behind these various movements—from Agenda 21 and Agenda 2030 to “Build Back Better” and “The Great Reset”—is collectivism.
Understanding Collectivism: The Ideological Foundation
G. Edward Griffin, a researcher into global governance, explains that collectivism underlies many totalitarian systems:
“Collectivism is what we’re talking about. So what is collectivism? We’ve been able to identify certain common components. One of them is the idea that the group is more important than the individual and that the individual, if necessary, must be sacrificed for the greater good of the greater number.”
This philosophy directly contradicts the founding principles of free societies. As America’s first president George Washington observed: “There is no such thing as personal human rights without property ownership.” The reason is clear—if you depend on a greater power for everything, you cannot be truly free.

Modern Methods of Property Dispossession
Today’s push for property dispossession is happening through various sophisticated mechanisms:
1. Corporate Land Accumulation
Wealthy individuals and corporations are buying massive amounts of land globally. Reports suggest they aim to acquire 30% of the planet’s land by the end of this decade, eventually targeting 50%. This concentration of land ownership represents an unprecedented transfer of wealth and power.
2. Forced Sales and Regulatory Pressure
Around the world, original landowners and farmers are being driven off their land through various means:
- Intimidation tactics
- Economic hardship forcing sales
- Regulatory changes making farming untenable
- Environmental regulations restricting land use
3. Housing Market Manipulation
The housing market has become increasingly unaffordable:
- Housing prices rose 40% during the pandemic
- By late 2022, the typical U.S. home sold for a record $468,000
- Corporate buyers like Blackstone and Pradium Partners are purchasing single-family homes at unprecedented rates
- Government subsidies are helping Wall Street buy residential properties
A congressional investigation found that tax dollars are actually subsidizing Wall Street’s acquisition of single-family homes, creating a new class of homeowner: the corporation.

The Spiritual Dimension of Property Ownership
From a biblical perspective, private property appears to be divinely sanctioned. God commissioned Jerusalem to Abraham and his descendants as personal property. This stands in stark contrast to the collectivist vision being promoted today.
The push against private ownership isn’t merely economic or political—it represents a fundamental shift in human relations and governance structures. Those concerned about this trend view it as part of a larger spiritual battle over human freedom and dignity.
Why This Matters Now
The collectivist vision being promoted is not some distant possibility—it’s actively being implemented. The timeline described by the WEF and other organizations puts major changes within this decade.
When powerful global entities speak of abolishing private property, we should take them at their word. History shows the devastating consequences when these philosophies are implemented. Whether through economic pressure, regulatory changes, or outright seizure, the end of private property would fundamentally transform society.
Resisting the End of Private Property
Understanding these movements is the first step toward protecting property rights. Awareness of how these changes are being implemented—through regulatory pressure, market manipulation, and propaganda—can help individuals and communities resist.
The slogan “You will own nothing and be happy” isn’t a prediction—it’s a plan. And it’s a plan that contradicts thousands of years of human experience and the foundational principles of free societies.
As citizens become more aware of these efforts to end private property ownership, resistance is growing. The outcome of this struggle will determine whether future generations will enjoy the freedom that comes with property ownership or become dependent on corporate and governmental landlords for their basic needs.
Property rights have always been essential to human liberty. In the coming years, defending these rights may be the most important battle of our time.
