In Orwell's 1984, the totalitarian government divided control into four Ministries—each named the opposite of its true function.
The Ministry of Plenty enforced scarcity. It controlled rationing, managed shortages, and ensured dependence on the state for survival. Plenty meant you got what they decided you deserved.
When governments control digital currency, mandate digital IDs, and track every transaction, they control access to everything. Financial freedom disappears. Privacy becomes privilege. Plenty means scarcity with better branding.
This vintage badge features the faceless bureaucrat—the official who rations your freedom and calls it fairness.
Control the resources. Control the people.
