So the World Economy Forum recently has undoubtedly proven that the idea that "Cultural Marxism" is what is holstering every foul thing about the modern world, globalism and neoliberalism is retarded.
Here was Milei talking with his good friend ze bugs man himzelf Klaus Schwab promoting his favourite anti-communist minarchist.
Promoting a "free market" world where everything will be owned by a small cluster of megacorps! Hurray!

Because rightoids are retarded and think that corporations are socialism somehow anyways. I remember seeing a corporatist you tuber once and he was refreshing from the garbage of rightoid brain dead content posting. It was refreshing to see someone who actually likes the corporate system and sees corporatocracy as the best solution than some magical nationalism with a “good capitalism”. I would honestly prefer to see more rightoids embrace the current corporatocracy rather than destructively reacting to it by killing random people in the streets.

The macho aspiration makes that impossible. They'll never be real men until they possess a female, and that possession is evidenced and made necessary by the fact that they're letting themselves be the breeding stock of inferior men.

Those cucks are just temporarily embarrassed bulls. They're masturbating to the idea that one day they'll be the Ubermensch with all the power to set the world "right." The sexual obsession is a fixture of the ideology they're trapped in. Escaping that means rejecting cornerstones of their ideology, of what's "natural," of the notions of inferiority and superiority, of what women are and represent and how they're to be treated.

It's a weird paradox how the most affirming activity to their ideology is watching a black man spunk in a white woman/transsexual/femboy.

Cool commercial but technically it isn't true that China "owns" US debt. Simply put China can only sell their manufactured goods to the US by buying dollars (which is the only option the US allows for China with regards to trade) and so China trades manufactured goods for US dollars which can be also traded for US securities. The United States, most advanced countries including China also have these kinds of financial instruments which means that they don't actually hold their money in big vaults to be lent out or traded. Most of that money exists as accounting information waiting to be used. The only way to "create" that money is by spending it and China doesn't really spend the US's money because there's not much that we manufacture that they need so they just trade their dollars for securities.

Corporations create the social mode of production so he's not wrong that socialism and monopoly are related economic concepts. But this is why fascism is the right's dialectical outcome and small-business lolbertism is a failure to think scientifically. Tensions are highest when its fascists versus socialists because this is where history must come into decision.
In any case, the age of liberalism is over, and the right and left must face this fact. There is no free market anymore. So its time to pick sides about where the world can go from here.

I think that the WEF porkies are far sighted enough to realize that if things keep going the way they're going then the system which sustains them will collapse. So they're proposing some very modest measures to mitigate its contradictions for the express purpose of preserving it, not unlike Keynes except even less ambitious. A 2% tax on billionaires is a fucking joke when you remember that the highest US tax brackets paid 90% taxes in the the 50s. The era that these rightoids pine for was far more "socialist" than anything the WEF is proposing.

The billionaires are applauding Milei. They are practically having an orgasm over his speech. Fox News, WSJ, and other news outlets are claiming his speech was dazzling. The audience at Davos was applauding Molei repeatedly through his speech.

I think it’s fair to say that report is not endorsed by the ruling bourgeois and they are actually pushing for a global lurch towards the type of fascistic ultra-neoliberalism that Milei represents.

I don’t see his speech or invitation to the WEF as a good sign. It looks more like a rallying cry for more extreme measures from the bourgeois in class warfare against the working class. This disconcerts me, because the global working class is still very class cucked, disorganized, and lacking in class cosciousness.

Sorry, but that's wishful thinking. Porky has been doing nothing but singing his praise since he gave the speech. I cannot tell you how many articles claiming that this was exactly the speech that has needed to be said. Hundreds of CEOs have been singing Milei's praises since his speech at Davos. Nearly every article I've seen on the internet from mainstream news sources have put a positive to exuberantly excited spin on it.

Mark my words, the bourgeois fully embracing Milei's speech which was the ultimate phantasmagoria of right-wing spooks marks a very definite right-wing and fascistic turn of face from the ruling class.

Global capitalism is too decrepit to embrace any socialistic reforms right now. I definitely would not interpret any aspect of the WEF as symbolic of the intent for porky to moderately reform the push towards austerity. In fact, I would interpret it as a full-throated endorsement of a shift towards fascism to avoid spirit crushing revelations later.

You don't have any of that with Milei, his entire fucking platfotm is that poor people should starve and industry should be killed off so Argentina can return to the liberal agro export regime. Literal you will own nothing shit.

The ruling classes fear "Social Polarization" and "Economic Downturn".

in a section on Global North and Global South relations, the ruling class fear increasing "Anti Western Sentiment" in the next two years.

they can't. milei/ancaps/lolberts and his ilk are so far far-right that the WEF is actually socialist/communist from their perspective. it doesn't help that schwab himself used to believe in "social entrepreneurship" (he coined the term afaik) and multipolarity and used to be on good terms with china and xi as well so he's probably literally a communist for /pol/face psychos like this guy >>1733842 who looks there like he's about to cry over how contrarian and brave he is sticking it to the face of those wef marxists in the name of muh freeeeee markets.
i mean /leftypol/ calls socdems "social fascists" now and then because from our perspective modern socdems tend to be neoliberal fucks and class traitors, however they're still not real fascists, just bourgeois liberals who believe at least in bourgeois democracy. milei and his ilk on the other hand are very close to the worst fascists and i think his appearance on the wef marks a shift of the western bourgeoisie from neoliberalism towards aggressive ancap-ism/fascism in terms of ideology given how much love he gets from all western msm including "leftist" i.e. liberal msm.

That has more to do with people LARPing as early 1930s KPD members despite them eating shit so hard, but I see your point.

Potentially, the WEF have for a long time recognized some of the social problems stemming from neoliberalism and capitalism in general, and advocated steps to mitigate these problems for the sake of preserving the system as a whole. If they have any historical parallel then it would probably be the 19th century bourgeois/aristocratic social reformers and philanthropists who opened orphanages and shit to mitigate the horrors of the industrial revolution. The fact that they seem to moving away from this position may indicate they've given up on it altogether, or they may just be trying to bring more right wing capitalist elements into the fold. I think its something of a moot point anyway. Davos may host the richest people in the world, but paradoxically their prescriptions for "stakeholder capitalism" and the like never seem to translate into actual government policies, which remains for the most part as nakedly neoliberal as ever. This makes me suspect that even the porkies who attend the WEF don't really take its prescriptions seriously, and treat it more like comic con for the parasite class. Maybe for them it's mainly just a place to hear inspiring speeches and rub shoulders with other vampires around pretty mountains.

Exactly. A few years ago I was listening to an interview with Heather Hurlburt who is one of these liberal D.C. think tank people (currently has a job in government under Biden). She was trying to make a squishy "left" case for American aircraft carriers and all that, but that's not important – she talked about going to Davos for one of the WEF things during the Obama administration (when she also had a job), and her impressions were kind of funny from the perspective of a middle-ranking American functionary… someone below a cabinet secretary but above the coffee lemmings.

She said it's tremendously glamorous but also not. They got there, took this chartered helicopter flight from the airport, and they're passing by the Swiss Alps and it makes you feel like James Bond. Then you get there and it's also glamorous, but you're tired from the trip and you forgot to bring clothes other than your business suit so going on a hike is out, and you didn't bring a swimsuit so the beautiful pool at your hotel is out, and there are private events with the rich and fabulous but you don't have a pass, so that's out. So you end up spending your day off sitting *by* the pool *in* your business suit drinking a Diet Coke and looking at your free WEF goodie bag. So unless you're literally one of the top people it's an extremely unsatisfying experience because you're treated as a lackey.

A bunch of people give speeches. Some of them are heads of state. But then there's also, like, some real-estate mogul giving a speech about we're living beyond our means and we have to downsize… after flying there in a private jet with kids and not one nanny… but two nannies. Then the WEF makes some statement about how all countries in the future will need a "Ministry of the Future" which a lot of actual government functionaries there think is cringe.

But it has this purpose (less so now, it has been losing its cachet) as place where, wow, look at all these high-profile people in the same room (or multiple) rooms who wouldn't normally talk to each other, either for practical reasons or because the transaction costs for it would too high, and here they are. But the actual effect if anything is probably just to reinforce the shared worldview of the people who attend, and their shared delusion that they know everything.

It's also spawned more mini-Davoses. There's a bunch of "forums" now in different places.

they couldn't define capitalism or socialism if you put a gun to their head is why. their entire belief system is incoherent, more or less just random isolated ideas that they absorbed from the media that were invented by think tanks to get normies to support the interests of the haute bourgeois.
