I am thinking that the whole vaccine passport and the AI god are the parts that will lead to socialism 2.0. The administrative overhead of rationing made that impossible in previous eras. If you need your vaccine passport to move around and use all services, they might be able to collect enough data to cram everyone down in an automated fashion. For example, low social credit scores cannot fly in airplanes or take trains in China. This is not science fiction, this is happening right now. Carbon taxes are kind of a non-starter for real climate lockdown advocates because they go to governments who spend them on all sorts of corruption and waste. The carbon has to remain in the ground, not simply be redistributed.
