We already are serfs, for the most part.

This society's leaders want you in some k8ind of cage; it doesn't matter whether it is in a prison cell, a cubicle with a keyboard, a factory, or a desk, just so long as you're being either a 'productiver member of society' or thrown into a more repressive and limited version of society, with the requisite parasitic elite class siphoning off the surplus value of your productivity. Our 'leaders' don't want us having control over our own bodies(eg. war on drugs), don't want us having control over our mobility, don't want us having control over our own money, don't want us having control over the political landscape... whenever it all comes crashing down, our 'leaders' will stop at nothing to retain power.

Things did get ugly during the peasant revolts during the middle ages, and similar events are likely to happen if there is anything to threaten our state of serfdom or to prevent the increase of its hold over us.
The unnecessary felling of a tree, perhaps the old growth of centuries, seems to me a crime little short of murder. ~Thomas Jefferson

I'm not very interested in being a productive member of society.
