You are largely correct, but it is a bit bigger than the rebirth of
Nazism. It is the emergence of a system where all buying and selling,
and many activities of everyday life - flying, entering buildings,
catching a train, getting a licence, opening a bank account, running
or accessing an internet account - etc, are all based upon having a 
suitable token / credential / mark; ultimately in the right hand or 
forehead.

Cheers, Steve..
