To try to better present my case for the economic theory, try this:
'The State' boils down to three significant parts: Government, Banks and Private global companies (Producers) that produce the bulk of our consumption (Amazon, Facebook, Unilever, Proctor and Gamble etc).
As George Orwell pointed out in Animal Farm, ignoring the addendum "But some are more equal than others" as it's an inconvenient truth to the Leftist elite, the foundation of a socialist system is that everyone is the same. This can be tailored to any given audience. For example, you might tell a subsistence farmer that they could learn to read so that they might get a better job so that they could buy their food instead of growing it; or you might tell a minority blue collar worker that they could easily obtain credit in order to buy that shiny car or SUV like their boss has or more fundamentally a nicer house; or the majority white collar worker that they could spend all their free cash buying stuff. Ultimately, wherever you are in the grand scheme of life you could always aspire to have more. What they don't tell you is the price of enslavement to the system.
On the face of it, this all sounds very Capitalist, and kind of where society is at currently. However the upper middle class and more frugal lower middle class and brighter blue collar people aren't necessarily swayed by things enough to borrow to get them as they tend to have relatively higher disposable incomes. live within their means and are sensible with their money. These people are a genuine threat to the socialist system as they cannot be bought and are therefore pretty much incorruptible. Those working for other people are generally less vulnerable than those who are self employed, but most people are only a couple of months pay away from being dependant on the state.
I previously linked to a video that formed a part o the Biden/Harris campaign about CRT and the levelling of opportunity for minorities... it depicted a brown person struggling to climb a rock to join the white person admiring the view and suggested raising the ground up so that the brown person could simply step onto the rock. (this is inherently racist as it suggests that minorities aren't motivated enough to achieve. In fact, I would go as far as to say that it implies that being dependant on the state is a good thing, especially as a minority
).
A significant part of the World Economic Forums' premise is to equalise opportunities and life expectations, and going back to the fundamental Socialist principle of equality earlier, the easiest way to do this is to take from those who have and give it to those who don't. It is far more cost effective for governments to knock the middle classes down than to raise the poorer levels up.
By enforcing a global lockdown and paying non essential people to stay at home, you have instantly created a captive audience who suddenly start spending money buying things online having been bombarded by adverts for stuff wherever they look. This spending frenzy ultimately consumes all the disposable income and eats into the readily available lending. Eventually, the jobs cut back and the wages fall, and you end up with people who will take any minimum wage job in order to satisfy their credit commitments... "You will have less and you will be happy". The Banks will do two things from their credit incomes: firstly they will make a shit ton of money; secondly they will fund credit to the poorer people globally so that they can obtain more. In turn, this feeds the Producers. Those who still have financial freedom will find themselves heavily taxed to pay for the Government costs of a Socialist state providing for those who have dropped out of the financial cycle... "You will have less and you will be happy".
The easiest way to do this?
Release an airbourne virus just deadly enough to scare people into submission, the aim being to control consumers not eradicate them. And control the media to reinforce the message. There's a reason why Sky News Australia is so outspoken about everything outside of Australia. The basic premise being that they are the other side of the world, literally, and therefore their opinion doesn't matter.. Yet at the same time some Australian States have become Police dictatorships under the pretext of protecting public health.
As for the why? That's easy... follow the money. Who makes everything that we consume? Like I said above and previously almost everything is owned by a few individuals.
As an aside, the global shutdown of much of the aviation industry and reducing car travel has created a noticeable improvement in global air quality, which makes it easier to push a green agenda as part of the overall package... again, look who benefits financially from this. Hint, it's not the consumer. Some of the ideas promoted by the World Economic Forum seem quite reasonable in the way that they are presented, but don't be fooled by the corporate videos, the clue is in the name... it's not a campaign to save polar bears.
Fortunately, we're a resilient bunch and hopefully all Trumps yelling, whether he is re-elected or not, has raised enough attention despite of the medias best efforts of how the leftist elites try to gain political power (it legitamises what they do within the framework of democracy) that we might keep our own systems free from direct interference and thereby maintain a degree of input into how we are governed. This is also why Brexit is so important.
