All Power to Klaus Schwab

Anyone who's been around the internet, or general right-wing populist spaces, has surely heard of the World Economic Forum and the people such as Klaus Schwab. The WEF is a supranational organization of elites: bankers, politicians, industrialists, and other such high-society types. The general mission is to carry out the next industrial revolution, being more green and eco-conscious and sustainable.

Their general agenda, according to the paranoid and probably-correct people, is quite straightforward. Take away people's land through environmental claims, and force them to urbanize. They'll either live in a block or a pod; this housing certainly will be rented. The population will be controlled to prevent overpopulation, destruction of the ecosystem for housing, and other consequences. Food prices will rise or rationing will be implemented with things such as beef becoming restricted. People will instead have to resort to eating ground up bugs as a major form of protein. People will not own items such as televisions, computers, toasters, and other appliances. Instead, they will be rentable services, delivered by drones. The system will essentially keep all of the people in subjugation, propertyless, while the rich get richer.

I don't know if the World Economic Forum is going to really try and do all of this. I don't know if the government is going to make us eat bug patties. But a lot of the other parts are all true and simply natural extensions of capitalism. Capitalism seeks to extract value from the actually laboring and working class, the value producing class. Make them produce material wealth, take their cut of the produced value, and take back most of their meager wages through food and rented housing. Would a rich man rather sell a new block of houses as condominiums for $200,000 each, or rent them out for $1,500 a month each? Naturally, the second. Each unit pays for itself in a bit over ten years, and serves as a perpetual form of income. This isn't some dastardly scheme, this is just how the capitalist class operates.

Most of the WEF's aims aren't some new globalist agenda. Globalism isn't even new, either. People act like the United Nations or World Economic Forum are these brand-new global groups who try and overthrow good-old American isolationist capitalism. But capitalism has always been global. There is no such thing as capitalism-in-one-nation. The British Empire, the Dutch East India Company, the Bretton-Woods Agreement, the Spanish Empire. Capitalism has always sought global markets and global influence. It has always used force to open new markets. You think Commodore Perry just an odd situation? Capitalism seeks new markets, it has always been a global affair. Globalism is nothing new.

And turning the people into propertyless renters, is this new? No. This has essentially always been the case in urban environments. The Suburbs were made to give the people a bit of freedom, to let them own a little property. Now this is being undone. Capitalism is returning to how it once was before Bretton-Woods in America. The urban ruling class has always used renting as a way to sustain their lifestyles. Look at even Crassus of ancient Rome, using private firefighters to extort property from people, and then rebuild and lease their houses back to them. Renting has existed as long as urban environments and money have existed.

So why is all of this a desireable thing? Why am I saying we should give the WEF the power to accomplish its goals? As the saying goes, capitalism is dying of its internal contradictions. The ruling class seeks to have more wealth and power concentrated within them. The working class does not want this, they just want an honest living. We can see this even in the pushback against groups like the WEF by various groups. Of course the WEF, which seems anti-freedom, will seem outrageous to the people living in a capitalist system, where freedom is one of the dominant ideas. So, if the WEF accomplished its goals, would the people say "Fair's fair" and accept it? Absolutely not!

As Marx said, in The German Ideology:

In other words, if groups like the WEF get their way, it will only further radicalize the people against the ruling class. A propertyless class is the most revolutionary class.

Even some of the most extreme ideas of what the WEF will do, such as dissolving national borders and turning the people into one linguistically and culturally-homogeneous mass, will this not further revolutionary aims? One of the largest difficulties in the working-class movements prior to World War One were cultural differences, nationalism between the French and German workers. This is why there wasn't a general strike across both nations, despite talks coming close to achieving one. But if the WEF abolishes the nation, will it not abolish nationalism, one of the greatest inhibitors to the workers of the world uniting? And this is a bad thing?

So this is why I say, All Power to Klaus Schwab! Let the bourgeoisie, the elites, the ruling class, let them come together and deprive the workers of their modest living, turn them into eternal renters, treat them like animals. If they are treated like animals, they will become animals. They will abandon all social limits and politeness, and will fight like animals to overthrow their rulers.
