Billionaire entrepreneur Marc Lore wants to build nation’s first woke city
Fox Business ^ | 9/7/21 | Will Feuer

Former Walmart executive and e-commerce billionaire Marc Lore wants to build the world’s first woke city from scratch — somewhere in the US.

Lore last week unveiled plans for his utopia, called Telosa, from the ancient Greek word Telos, meaning "highest purpose."

"The mission of Telosa is to create a more equitable, sustainable future. That’s our North Star," Lore said in a promotional video. "We are going to be the most open, the most fair and the most inclusive city in the world."

Key to the city’s plans is Lore’s economic vision, called "Equitism," in which the land upon which the city is built will be donated to a community endowment.

Residents, in turn, own their homes on the land and are enriched as home values increase, according to the project’s site, and after a period of "hyper-growth," residents can buy the land from the community endowment.

"If you went into the desert where the land was worth nothing, or very little, and you created a foundation that owned the land, and people moved there and tax dollars built infrastructure and we built one of the greatest cities in the world, the foundation could be worth a trillion dollars," Lore told Bloomberg Businessweek.

"And if the foundation’s mission was to take the appreciation of the land and give it back to the citizens in the form of medicine, education, affordable housing, social services: Wow, that’s it!"

The city is meant to take on what Lore views as the United States’ biggest challenge — the rapidly growing wealth gap, which he said "is going to bring down America."

"While the current economic system is a growth engine, it has led to increasing inequality," the project’s website explains. "Equitism is inclusive growth."

What he’s talking about is “pure” communism, the kind that Commies say is “the way it’s supposed to work”.

Except that it never does.

You are correct sir. If I recall correctly, it was Reagan, and maybe others too, who said this is destined for the ash heap of history.
The only things communism EVER produces, is hunger, refugees and dead bodies.

Bless him and his project. If he builds it, I won’t go. But will it survive as planned? Maybe a decade or two. Maybe it will collapse before then.

Why is it that people who become fabulously wealthy from capitalism turn into communists?

Walmart's e-commerce CEO reportedly just dropped $43 million on a penthouse in a 'paparazzi-proof' building filled with celebrities. Take a look inside.

So...it’s wealth diparity that will bring down America? And, this from a billionaire who got his seed money peddling mostly foreign made goods to middle and lower economic class citizens of the US?

Can’t wait to watch this train wreck play out...

Dr. David Jeremiah delivers a sermon on socialism.
It is tough love. The sermon starts at about the 20 minute mark and runs to 1:07.
It is well worth your time.

Where do we go from here?

This has been tried around the world but it just doesn’t work.

Build it in Kalifornica. You can call it New Harmony or if that name doesn’t work they could call it Jonestown.

No it’s way to enrich him and others of course when the inevitable, and they won’t have to wait long, collapse occurs and they get federal tax dollars (our money) to bail them and the residents out. It’ll be a miserable failure

That’s a tough one. Almost like what came first, the chicken or the egg?

150,00 acres divided up for 5 million people comes to about 1,300 square feet per person. That includes streets, highways, parks, lakes, public buildings, entertainment centers, etc. It really means that everyone of the “people” live in high rises. Only the elites get their own houses.

Good luck with finding 5 million suckers, at any price.

***I predict this Woke city will be a huge failure.***

Like all the Hippie Communes built around Taos in the 1960s.

Where are they now?

Could I suggest the San Andreas Fault, land prices must be fairly attractive right around there.
