It has become increasingly common to hear those on what we may call the conventional Right claim that the main threat facing the historic American nation and the American way of life is “socialism.” These warnings have grown with the rise of the so-called “Great Reset,” ostensibly a broad effort to reduce inequality, cool the planet (i.e., “address climate change”), and cure various social ills, all by decreasing alleged “overconsumption.” In other words, its mission is to persuade people, at least in the developed West, to accept lower standards of living in order to create a more just and “equitable” world. Since the conservative mind, not unreasonably, associates lower standards of living with “socialism,” many conservatives naturally intuit that the Great Reset must somehow be “socialist.”
I believe this fear is at least partly misplaced and that the warnings it gives rise to, however well-meaning, are counterproductive because they deflect attention from the truer, greater threat: specifically, the cabal of bankers, techies, corporate executives, politicians, senior bureaucrats, academics, and pundits who coalesce around the World Economic Forum and seek to change, reduce, restrict, and homogenize the Western way of life—but only for ordinary people. Their own way of life, along with the wealth and power that define it, they seek to entrench, augment, deepen, and extend.
This is why a strict or literal definition of “socialism”—public or government ownership and control of the means of production in order to equalize incomes and wealth across the population—is inapt to our situation. The Great Reset quietly but unmistakably redefines “socialism” to allow and even promote wealth and power concentration in certain hands. In the decisive sense, then, the West’s present economic system—really, its overarching regime—is the opposite of socialistic.

Usurpation Day was huge step towards that New World Order.
Why do we seem so willing to meekly surrender our sovereignty, freedoms and standard of living to the control of those outside of our country? We have been through that many times, from the king of England to Hitler and Tojo. If they want our freedom and prosperity, my answer would be “molon labe”.
The WEF espouses FASCISM that being nominal private ownership but defacto government control. They must be crushed.
The rest of the world rise if they simply decrease their level of suck. Shooting the fastest sprinter in the leg does not make the race more exciting
i do not care what “ism” you use
the wef great reset is tyranny
whatever “ism” we are screwed
bingo!
even china shifted to fascism
its the new and improved tyranny
The US will decrease so the Beast of Revelation can take over.

“In the decisive sense, then, the West’s present economic system—really, its overarching regime—is the opposite of socialistic.”
No it is not. It’s just closer to NATIONAL socialism than INTERNATIONAL socialism. In other words, it is of the fascist flavor of socialism, rather than the communist flavor.
Anytime I see or hear the words “equitable” or “equity” big loud alarm bells go off.
Those are buzz words for communism and Marxism.
The problems for the New World Order are:
1. How to secure the power and fortunes of the global oligarch class. One can assume that all oligarchs have a common interest.
2. How to equalize the living standards and relative size of the middle class among nations. The objective is to reduce envy and international tensions among nations.
3. How to placate, suppress or control the underclass and least productive populations. The objective is to reduce the risk of instability within nations.
I don’t think that 21st Century oligarchs, or the think tanks and NGOs that they fund, are looking back to 19th Century or even 20th Century economic ideologies for solutions.
More accurately, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporatism
All the major corporations are down with this Great Reset, especially the Asset Management companies like Blackrock and Vanguard. They’re all “partners” of the WEF. Big Pharma, Big Tech too.
The big item for normal Americans is none of that. It is the absolute hatred for about a third of the US population that is MAGA or MAGA sympathetic, eseially white middle class non wokes and especially Southerners and Texans. To Glbo-Homo these people are NAZIs and must be crushed, by overwhelming force and terrorization at first. The globalist left literally wants you and your families dead , or hurt, and impoverished and gulaged. The constant abuse and threats will not stop until some sort of big false flag event can be executed or some of the targeted population will spontaneously strike back. US treatment of Indians in the latter 19th century is a god model. The cultural and economic pressure and demands to totally capitulate and deny one’s heritage are endless. Even a peaceful mass protest movement such as the so called Ghost Dance is turned into a existential threat and media screaming produces mass hysteria among the target audience. Any resistance at all is ‘treason’ even a completely peaceful and constitutional movement will be framed as ‘neo-Nazi’ and ‘white supramacist’. Individuals in the target group still have some time to figure how they will survive.

The Elites do not long for equality, they desire a new aristocracy, with themselves as the new nobility, and us as a permanent servant class.
They know that, intellectually, they are not special. They fear competitors who may displace them.
