Pretty much every day I see conservatives desperately trying to blame those guys for everything going wrong in their putrid way of life and frankly I don’t really get it. You can’t even look them up reliably because every article on the subject is deepfried in paranoid Mccarthy style doomsday talk. I will admit that that particular group comes off as a bit ominous but all the NWO shit is the same deflective nonsense it’s always been: This pathological need for a villain to make all the complex problems facing our society make sense. If it’s not Klaus Schwab, it’s Soros, or Clinton or lizard people.
So yeah, what do actual socialists think of all this? And please spare no detail, I’m in the mood to read.
Just more conservative silliness. They need to interpret everything through the lens of conspiracy theories because they have no materialist systemic understanding of what is going on. The WEF is just a get together for some of the mid level bourgeois and some of the more visible faces of empire to jerk off to how smart they think they are and pat each other on the back every year. The real power, the big bourgeois and the real managers of empire don’t attend, and the real decisions about the direction of the empire’s policy are not made there either. It’s just a front.
Yeah that tracks.
The WEF is basically a thing where neoliberals make proposals about environmentalism, trans-humanism, and so on, so they can pretend they’re doing anything good. I used to follow them on IG when I was a liberal environmentalist. I got a book by a prominent guy there, Yuval Noah Harari, which was actually ok, and helped me understand historical materialism, and the Marxist understanding of religion, when I found ML, but it was also pretty anti-communist, and got into some weird trans-humanist territory near the end. Cons and Fascists hate them because they’re (((globalists))) (Soros is Jewish) and also, Hillary Clinton drinks the blood of babies, of course.
Yuval Noah Harari
I was actually gifted a book of his some years back, never got to it. Is he any good?

Pretty sure I’ve seen a phrase “Zionist controlled WEF” somewhere like the ostensibly socialist subreddits
The book was ‘Sapiens’ it kept me interested through most of it, though I did feel a little weird when he said “Communism is a religion” and “economic systems don’t matter, what really matters is how we are going to change the human race through genetic modification and computer chips” I also think, at this point, it was kinda weird when he said that all ideologies are fundamentally humanist, Fascism wants humanity to be a master race, liberalism says all humans are equal, and I forget what he said about communism (probably bad), which ignores that malthusians like an-prims see humanity as evil and should be decreased (btw WEF is kinda Malthusian, but not in that exact way).
I tried reading that book but quit after a few chapters because the author insisted that LLCs are treated like people in law because people have come together to collectively imagine corporations as people and I couldn’t go on after that.
Oh yeah, I just accepted that at the time.
Yup, same book.
Communism is a religion
Aaand into the trash it goes
(((globalists)))
Fashoids hate the WEF for the wrong reasons.
Basically neolibshits larping as philantrophists and intellectuals lol
