When they talk of "democracy", what they mean is a socialist overthrow of existing government/institutions. Its classic Cloward-Piven theory in action

WEF is filled with idiots with no understanding of history.

They have thinktanks come up with this analysis with the premise that these few wealthy folks will hold on to power and rule the peons.

But in reality they are walking themselves to the guillotine. Gas stays high and people start getting hungry, these folks are going to end up dead in the streets.

And the middle class is going to stand back and watch it happen.

Serious question for the libs and greenies. You say that the oil companies are gouging the public and making insane record profits. Can you reconcile that with the WEF claim about underpricing of fossil fuels? This is very confusing. Help.

"leading democracies should agree to end the underpricing of fossil fuels"

I'll hang up and listen.

Asking a progressive to explain something in economic terms is like asking a Starbucks barista to explain astrophysics.

"Democracy" is fake and gay.

Define Irony…. An unelected cabal of people telling you that democracy is in peril and that you have to listen to them to save it.

The same cabal placed Biden in the White House.

So, a guy who basically fabricated meaningless metrics out of thin air and now everyone takes his word as more canon to the holy religion of environmentalism.

Yes I'd love for the commies behind the great reset to advise me on democracy

Technically, those behind the great reset are probably more fascists or feudalists than communists.
They are using methods employed by communists to gain control, and they are using communists as useful idiots, but their objective is to enslave everyone under their benevolent rule.

Edit to add: ". . . compliance can and must be enforced."

World Economic Forum: Gas Prices Must Go Even Higher to Save Democracy

The World Economic Forum (WEF) released a position paper Monday that inexorably links two claimed global crises as one "climate change" and the "decline of democracy."

It says fighting the former can save the latter as long as consumers stop burning coal, oil, and gas in exchange for green renewables.

The WEF paper argues for the past 15 years, democracy has been in decline worldwide. To protect and promote freedom, "leading democracies must strengthen their economies and safeguard liberty."

It goes on to say ignoring progress toward a "low-carbon economy could put democracies in greater economic peril, not less" while repeating the broader demand of environmental activists for companies to stop investing fossil fuels.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine has brought renewed focus on this economic weakness, the WEF says.

What is the answer for the U.S. and Europe? Pricing the alternatives to green energy out of the market. It says:

The paper goes on to argue that compliance can and must be enforced.

They claim that this will protect "democracy" and all I see is an authoritarian regime dictating to the people as to what they will or will not have.

This is not "democracy".

The way things are going, people are going to be fighting their neighbors soon. The left is not going to stop.

Instead of these crazies shooting folks at schools and malls and the like, why don't any of them show up at a WEF meeting?
