If you haven't been paying attention you haven't noticed the faaaabulous rising stars of the Democrat Partei [sic] are Marxists.
For young Americans, "Marxists" means communists, after the cunning grifter Karl Marx, who realized that half of the people on the planet would rather take from well-off people than work for a living. So if those people see a politician who promises to do that for 'em, they're all in.
Governments can be divided into two types: Representative, and Authoritarian. In the first type, if the people don't like the ruling party they can change rulers by a simple vote (at least in theory; some political parties like to rig elections). By contrast, while people can vote IN Authoritarian regimes, you can't vote 'em out. And since they control the cops and military, there's no way (short of civil war) to throw 'em out.
Communism--regardless of what cunning disguise it takes on to win power--is authoritarian. They rule, and the people obey or are imprisoned (or worse). The leaders believe they know what's best, and citizens (a.k.a. "deplorables") are advised not to complain.
Of course even in representative governments the leaders believe they know better than ordinary citizens, but at least the latter can peacefully throw the bastards out if the policies of the leaders don't work.
Which brings us to the self-styled "elites" who run the World Economic Forum (WEF). If you're over 30 or so you've surely heard of the WEF. Its members believe the world needs saving, and that they're the only ones who know how to do that. They co-opt stupid national governments by claiming there's a crisis that requires all nations to submit to One-World Government. They stopped calling it that 20 years ago because too many people started to realize it was communism under a new name.
The particular "crisis" doesn't matter: Two centuries ago it was the possibility of global famine, then running out of water, then nuclear war, then a coming Ice Age, then "global warming" and finally the catch-all of "climate change"--which can be used to control every activity on the planet, since everything can be claimed to have some effect on climate. And it has the advantage that there's no way to disprove it.
Point is, the particular crisis doesn't matter: If the climate stopped warming for 30 years, the rulerz would bleat that a) "It hasn't really stopped! The satellites are giving us wrong info!" and b) the lack of warming for 30 years merely means it's a pause, not a real stop. It's a religion.
SO...the "elites" of the WEF have proposed dozens of policies to save the world from the latest crisis. For example, eating meat puts more CO2 into the air than getting the same number of calories from plants or "mealworms," since much energy goes into keeping the cattle alive. The WEF "fix" is that you should eat mealworms. Of course *they* won't, because...reasons. Like John F'n Kerry on why he flies a private jet to Europe and back: "Some of us are important."
American homes are too big, so all new housing will be in state-owned apartments. As one WEF member put it, "You will own nothing--and you'll love it."
The WEF has also proposed doing away with private cars. This requires re-designing cities into "15-minute cities."
A 15-minute city is an
urban planning concept where residents can access most of their daily
needs, like work, shopping, education, and healthcare, within a
15-minute walk or bike ride. The
goal is to create more vibrant, self-sufficient, and walkable
neighborhoods, reducing reliance on cars and promoting a healthier, more
sustainable lifestyle
Of course just planning and zoning will cost hundreds of billions for a nation the size of, say, Germany. (Klaus Schwab, founder of the WEF, is German.) But "We've got to do it, because of [crisis X]."
Say, how well do 75-year-olds bike? "Don't worry about that, citizen! We'll take care of that!"
What if I want to visit another city 200 miles away? "Simple: you just apply for permission to travel. Of course there will be a lifetime mileage limit on your travels, so plan well!"
So who's riding in those big black luxury cars we see on the roads? "Government officials, doing important work." Why aren't *they* biking? "Obviously because they're important people. Elites."
So...below meet one of the members of the WEF.
