The Current Events Room
A good summation of the Great Reset. There will be no really poor people, and there will be no real middle class or lower upper class. There will be an elite and there will be the rest of us supported by cradle to grave government programs at a lowest common denominator likely somewhere between upper lower class and lower middle class. You won't own anything and you will like and appreciate what the elite provide you.
And this has to be the most transparent attempt at a radical change in governance in the history of mankind. The Davos crowd publicly discusses this stuff. It will be a technocratic autocracy.
Global Elites: 'No Money, No Problems' | Opinion
The Marxists of yesteryear just wanted you to have as much as your fellow citizen—no more, no less. Or at least that's what they claimed.
Today's totalitarians, by contrast, don't want you to have anything. They are globalist elites, and they're frank about their aims. Back in 2016, perhaps their most prized club, the World Economic Forum (WEF), largely known for its flashy annual meeting in the Alpine resort town of Davos, offered eight predictions for the world in 2030. The number one prediction, at the time, was literally: "You'll own nothing. And you'll be happy."
The rapper Notorious B.I.G. famously observed, "Mo money, mo problems." Global elites, however, desire that you subscribe to an utterly different dictum: "No money, no problems." Indeed, this isn't merely their "prediction"—it's their explicit plan. And don't be fooled. They won't be satiated by seizing all your material property. They want to own you. To do this, they will infiltrate, corrupt, and control every component of our humanity. This is the near-term future global elites seek, and one they're within striking distance of achieving given their extraordinary influence over the major institutions of high society. They were just awaiting the right moment to pounce.
Enter the COVID-19 pandemic. Since, according to the Left, no good crisis should go to waste, the WEF openly asserted in 2020 that "the COVID-19 crisis" was an inimitable moment that needed to be exploited to "improve the state of the world." It has since built upon that proclamation with the Great Reset initiative, a breathtakingly audacious framework for overhauling "the direction of national economies, the priorities of societies, the nature of business models, and the management of a global commons." Practically ripped straight from the tyrannical revolutions of yore, the Great Reset initiative now also promises to build "a new social contract that honors the dignity of every human being."
Upon closer examination, what can be deciphered from the framework is that the WEF intends to will into existence its 2016 aim and render as many people as possible penniless serfs. In his contribution to Against the Great Reset, a recently released, must-read collection of essays, scholar Michael Anton makes this crucial point about the goal of our internationalist overlords. "Note that the WEF doesn't say they will own nothing, only that you will. They most assuredly will own a great deal—more than the considerable amount they already own, and you will make up the difference."
To pull off this advanced heist, there are the 21st-century, three-card monte gambits of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) and Economic, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG), and the Green New Deal. They are championed by the WEF and other transnational organizations—more often than not, directly—and are interconnected across media, academia, entertainment, government, and the corporate world. Of course, not all activity is finely orchestrated from the top. Nonetheless, the vision is defined, the marching orders have been given, and the incentive structure is gamed toward a predetermined outcome.
For instance, colleges and universities, bolstered by endowments and federal grants, issue degrees with few if any career prospects—which, lo and behold, tend to keep graduates from earning a decent living, thus leading them toward dependence on government. Similarly, only the world's largest companies are equipped to keep up with the highly complex and constantly changing standards of ESG. Small- and medium-sized businesses are ever more prone to getting swept away.
Though this comprehensive system of redistribution differs in important ways from its predecessors, the outcome, as Anton suggests, will be exactly same—the self-appointed individuals in charge of collecting property in order to, allegedly, guarantee greater "equity" will keep the lion's share for themselves. This time around, the conductors of social engineering are just far more transparent about their aspirations.
