you will own nothing, and will be happy!

Believe it or not. This was written OPTIMISTICALLY in an essay by head of an extremely wealthy PROGRESSIVE organization, the WEF.

Klaus Schwab, I want to say.

All you need to feel optimism is to understand and go in life with the understanding that we are ALL humans, held within systems (often systems of our own creation).

The essay Klaus wrote was about how the international lifestyle of the wealthy, travelling, forming communities, talking, seeking opportunity, a lifestyle that makes HIM as a member of the European gentry very happy, might be extended to other Europeans.

That "and you will be happy" was a genuine attempt at optimism, and being happy making money.

He, being of the class he is, is not necessary conscious of lower class conditions, and was rightfully picked out as being out of touch.

This is what the left has forgotten, to be like Jesus in trying to appeal to everyone. We have to understand systems, systems of thought, of social pressure, of education, intelligence, awareness, apply to everyone. The billionaire and the working class racist alike.

We're all just humans in systems. That's the only understanding that's humanist. So we must be able to appeal to all humanity.
