The much-circulated slogan “You will own nothing, and you will be happy” was coined by Danish MP Ida Auken in 2016 and included in a 2016 essay published by the purveyors of the so-called “Great Reset” at the World Economic Forum (WEF) headquartered in Davos, Switzerland. It is, of course, only half true. Nonetheless, the phrase is certainly apt and should be taken seriously. For once the Great Reset has been put in place, we will indeed own nothing except our compelled compliance.
The world’s farmers and cattle raisers, deprived of their livelihoods on the pretext of reducing nitrogenic fertilizers and livestock-produced methane, will own next to nothing. Meat and grain will become increasingly rare and we will be dining on cricket goulash and mealworm mash, an entomorphagic feast. We will be driving distance-limited electric vehicles rented from the local Commissariat and digitally monitored by Cyber Central—assuming we will still be allowed to drive. Overseen by a cadre of empowered financial managers who can “freeze” our assets at any time, we will possess bank accounts and credit ratings, but they will not be really ours.
Subject to a conceptual misnomer that is nothing but a vacuous abstraction, we will have become “stakeholders”—the WEF’s Klaus Schwab’s favorite word—with no real stake to hold apart from a crutch. In fact, what Schwab’s “stakeholder capitalism” really means, as Andrew Stuttaford explains at Capital Matters, is “transferring the power that capitalism should confer from its owners and into the hands of those who administer it.”

You will own nothing, and you will be happy
say the quiet part out loud
OR ELSE!
The workers will own the means of production.
Which has never meant anything at all, and which has never turned out well for any society.
The framers of the Declaration changed Locke’s ownership of property to the pursuit of happiness. The two are by no means synonymous. As one who is just passing through creation there is a freedom in knowing that everything is but a temporary trust from the Creator. The devil loves ownership and the greed and envy it fosters. Rush had it right when he said, “. . . talent on loan from God.”
My response to these elites like Klaus Schwab, Bill Gates, UN leaders who keep heaping these proclamations upon us to own nothing and eat bugs is....YOU FIRST!!
YOU FIRST. You sell everything and own nothing. You eat insects instead of Wagyu Beef! When that happens maybe I’ll begin to believe all your climate crisis crap!
Their meetings must be entertaining.. Aging unattractive wannabe dictators mentally masturbating and spouting sophomoric slogans..

Pinging you for this article.
One recalls the Clintons in the 90s introducing the vocabulary of “stakeholder” into the political dialogue. So the “messaging” has been going on a long time.
Thank you.
The question is, who WILL own our stuff?
But G. Gordon Liddy used to tell the story about how much trouble he had getting permission to cut down a tree on the property that he "owned".
Yikes.
True, but you are able to own a vehicle, your furniture, clothes on your back, etc. The WEF future will make communism look good. From what I’ve read, you’ll literally own NOTHING. Not land, not capital, not personal belongings. Everything will be “rented”. The excuse is that it’s good for the environment. For instance, you only sleep in your bed for 6-8 hours. So for the good of the environment, your bed will be shared with 2 other people when you aren’t using it. Same as with all other personal items that even in Cuba, N Vietnam, Soviet Union, or Red China would be considered personal property.
If communism reduced people to peasants, the WEF will reduce people to slaves.
Try not paying your real estate taxes and find out who “owns” your property. With all the government gimmicks in regulation and zoning etc it’s no wonder younger people are resorting to renting.
The WEF will sell this “Great Reset” as the “Sharing Economy”. I think our youth are conditioned enough to buy that.
Maybe they won’t tell us, or we would know where to go, to get it back. 🤣
The “Progressives” have been at this “long March through the institutions” (1967j for a very long time.
‘ As Schwab writes in his co-authored Covid-19: The Great Reset, people will have to accept “limited consumption,” “responsible eating,” and, on the whole, sacrificing “what we do not need”—this latter to be determined by our betters.’
obama oregon May 17 2008 “We can’t drive our SUVs and, you know, eat as much as we want and keep our homes on, you know, 72 degrees at all times, whether we’re living in the desert or we’re living in the tundra, and then just expect every other country is going to say OK, you know, you guys go ahead keep on using 25 percent of the world’s energy, even though you only account for 3 percent of the population, and we’ll be fine. Don’t worry about us. That’s not leadership. ~ Barack Obama
