In 1906, Hilaire Belloc, predicted this in his book The Servile State"

"…all those things in the true Socialist’s demand which are compatible with the Servile State can certainly be achieved. The first steps towards them are already achieved. They are of such a nature that upon them can be based a further advance in the same direction, and the whole Capitalist State can be rapidly and easily transformed into the Servile State."

I guess we can't say no one saw any of this coming.
