and by making sure the proletariate have no money we become slaves and nothing more, there will be no one who has the ability to oppose

You're right. It's all about power. To put it in other terms, it's all about control. Speaking of the antichrist:
16 He causes all, both small and
great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one
who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the
beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.
Revelation 13:16-18
The evil thing about this system, is that it's not just a monetary system, it will be a combined financial and religious system. God will send a
warning:
9 Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead
or on his hand, 10 he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He
shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment
ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.”
Revelation 14:9-11
People wondered for thousands of years: "how can One Man, control the entire population of the earth's finances?" It was impossible to conceive. These
days, it's obvious, and yes, close.
So the last days will be played out with man trying to control man; and on the other hand God saying He is God, and is worthy to be in control. It
will be a very tumultuous, trying time, to say the least.
