Capitalism under fire
Has anyone heard of the World Economic Forum? This is an organization where billionaires get together to discuss the world. They have come up with a plan to change the whole world's economic system.
It seems that capitalism, the economic system that let them gain so much wealth, is not a good system and they want to transform it just like Uncle Joe Biden and the progressives want to do to the U.S.
They want a more "equitable" system. The plan is called The Great Reset. This plan has been worked on for years and they have a sub-plan for every aspect of human life.
The head of this group, Klaus Schwab, has said that you will own nothing and be happy about it. Isn't that communism? And who will be the "owners"? The gigantic corporations like BlackRock and individual billionaires, but not you.
The Great Reset has the slogan "Build Back Better" and it was used before Joe Biden. The Democrats are aligning themselves and the U.S. with the Great Reset with their grandiose spending bills.
The banks are in on this, too. Just look on your bank's website and you will probably find an ESG statement. The ESG scores are not just for concern for the environment, but will be applied to you personally. The question is how will this ESG score be used? Will it be used to control you like the social score in China?
The problem with all this is that the number of people in the world today living in extreme poverty dropped by over 80% since 1970. This great achievement can be attributed to capitalism raising the standard of living across the globe. It's not perfect, but capitalism does work. Communism only creates misery.
