Global Elites Flirt with Post-modern Neo-Marxism

---

Let's start with the virtual speech, entitled "Let the Torch of Multilateralism Light up Humanity's Way Forward," delivered by Xi Jinping, President (for life) of the People's Republic of China at the World Economic Forum's Virtual Event on the Davos Forum agenda, 25 January, 2021. It came five days after the inauguration of Joe Biden as the 46^th POTUS.  And, less than a week after Xi's principle international nemesis, the 45^th President, no longer represented America.  The transcript is too long (8:46 minutes) to post, but you can read it here. Professor Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive President of the World Economic Forum tied up Xi's speech with this statement:  "The past year was marked by the sudden onslaught of the COVID-19 pandemic. Global public health faced severe threat and the world economy was mired in deep recession. Humanity encountered multiple crises rarely seen in human history. The past year also bore witness to the enormous resolve and courage of people around the world in battling the deadly coronavirus. Guided by science, reason and a humanitarian spirit, the world has achieved initial progress in fighting COVID-19. That said, the pandemic is far from over. The recent resurgence in COVID cases reminds us that we must carry on the fight. Yet we remain convinced that winter cannot stop the arrival of spring and darkness can never shroud the light of dawn. There is no doubt that humanity will prevail over the virus and emerge even stronger from this disaster."

Xi's speech began by him saying: "History is moving forward and the world will not go back to what it was in the past. Every choice and move we make today will shape the world of the future. It is important that we properly address the four major tasks facing people of our times."   What Xi didn't do, nor was expected to do, was offer an apology for China releasing—by accident or intent, unknown—the virus from a biological warfare labs in Wuhan, China.   Here were his initial four points in Part 1: 1. "The first is to step up macroeconomic policy coordination and jointly promote strong, sustainable, balanced and inclusive growth of the world economy." (Boilerplate) 2. "The second is to abandon ideological prejudice and jointly follow a path of peaceful coexistence, mutual benefit and win-win cooperation."  (No mention of threats to Taiwan, nor conflict with Indian's troops near their shared border. And, no mention of Tibet, nor the damage that Chinese dams are causing to nations downstream the Mekong River that are suffering the loss of fish, nor anything about the 12 million Uyghurs, mostly Muslim, in Xinjiang, many in concentration camps. But then who at Davos cares about Vietnamese fishing and the Uyghurs?) 3. "The third is to close the divide between developed and developing countries and jointly bring about growth and prosperity for all."  (No mention of China's Belt & Road Initiative that is bringing infrastructure to some developing countries by loaning money to their governments that their population can't afford, nor pay back, and using the loaned money to hire Chinese workers and construction firms, and then offering an in-kind exchange by way of Chinese access to the hosts' natural resources. [AKA: the Debt Trap] Watch China mine the rich source of lithium in Afghanistan in exchange for creating Belt and Road Initiative projects for the Taliban so they can drive all their new U.S. vehicles over a network of Chinese-built paved roads.)  4. "The fourth is to come together against global challenges and jointly create a better future for humanity."  (So how does that explain China contributing a small amount to the Paris Climate Agreement compared to what the U.S. share, until Trump cancelled it, but now Biden has reinstated payments.)

In Part 2 of his speech, Xi stresses several points related to "The problems facing the world are intricate and complex. The way out of them is through upholding multilateralism and building a community with a shared future for mankind." 1. "First, we should stay committed to openness and inclusiveness instead of closeness and exclusion."  (Who's "we"? It certainly hasn't been China.) 2. "Second, we should stay committed to international law and international rules instead of seeking one's own supremacy."  (Is this the same China that has, over the decades, flagrantly violated international patent laws? The same China that broke a 50-year agreement over the future of Hong Kong, with force? Or, the same China that has frequently sailed ships into the boundary waters of SE Asian nations to poach their fishing sites?)  3. "Third, we should stay committed to consultation and cooperation instead of conflict and confrontation."  (When did "stay" begin?) 4. "Fourth, we should stay committed to keeping up with the times instead of rejecting change."  (Whose times? Who is rejecting change?  Two of Xi's red herring arguments. Plus, he offers a commercial for China's friend, the World Health Organization, that helped suppress news of the Covid release until it had time to spread abroad.)

Lastly, in Part 3 of his speech Xi ends with five pledges: 1. "China will continue to take an active part in international cooperation on COVID-19."  (That's like the head of a Mexican drug cartel offering to help stem the tide of drug overdoses in America.)   2. "China will continue to implement a win-win strategy of opening-up." (They've been opening up to Western corporations for decades, and exploiting the opportunity offered by cheap labor for much of what sells in Walmart, while mining foreign technology, all while U.S. manufacturing jobs dry up.)  3. "China will continue to promote sustainable development." (Does that mean China plans to close down some of its over 1,000 coal plants – half of all that exist in the world – to promote cleaner air?) 4. "China will continue to advance science, technology and innovation." (Will that advancement continue to, as in the past, rely on intellectual property 'borrowed' from abroad?) 5. "China will continue to promote a new type of international relations."  Here's how Xi elaborates on the 'new type' of relations: "Zero-sum game or winner-takes-all is not the guiding philosophy of the Chinese people… As a steadfast member of developing countries, China will further deepen South-South cooperation, and contribute to the endeavor of developing countries to eradicate poverty, ease debt burden, and achieve more growth. China will get more actively engaged in global economic governance and push for an economic globalization that is more open, inclusive, balanced and beneficial to all. (A "Woke" China. That mean no more debt traps for poor countries?)

Post-modern, neo-Marxism has become the motto of The Great Reset where: "You'll own nothing. And you'll be happy."

Xi's final statement might have caused the denizens of Davos to rise-up, link arms, and, with one voice, sing "The Internationale". Because post-modern, neo-Marxism has become the motto of The Great Reset where: "You'll own nothing. And you'll be happy."   To close: Looking back now, wasn't the Wuhan Virus a remarkably convenient event to position the spread of a global Utopia on Earth? And, today, isn't the Democrat Party pushing fiscal policies that move the nation toward insolvency (AKA: sovereign debt default) that will fit nicely into The Great Reset?   P.S. Several years ago, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) suggested that the USD would cease to be the world reserves currency, and be replaced with a basket containing the top five strongest currencies.
