“Is this like the new world order or something?”, I asked, half jokingly.
“The New World Order was a vision created by socialists in the early decades of the 20th century. It was promoted by H. G. Wells to envision a global socialist state that would provide for everyone’s needs.
“Before World War II, the slaves were demanding that this socialist vision be implemented. There was a lot of resentment toward the market economy for the global depression and the resulting world war. After the war the demand became an expectation among those who fought and suffered in the war.
“We managed to gain control of the vision and direct it into a free market development program. We created what later became the OECD.” I looked at him questioningly. He restated, “The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. It was originally created after World War II to organize and direct the rebuilding of Europe after the war. It's purpose was ensure that Europe was rebuilt with capitalism rather than socialism. Later, it’s mission expanded to develop the market economy in every country and culture around the world. It’s purpose is to create the new world order in the image of capitalism.”
“The united nations was also created to manage and direct the organization of nation states within a global market economy. The World Bank and the International Monetary Fund were created to develop market economies in nation states where the market was weak or non existent. Later, the World Trade Organization was created to manage trade disputes and set rules for market expansion, so that nations would not try to influence the global market economy through national laws or court systems. All of these organizations are overseen by the OECD.”
When he says we, I don’t know who he means sometimes. It seems to refer to his club and the guests here, or upper classes in general, sometimes it’s historical accomplishments. He identifies with all of it.
I had vaguely heard of the OECD. I believe they publish statistics on poverty and life expectancy. Now, I imagined the OECD to be some sort of mothership for capitalism. Organized and built by the fascists who won World War II. So it’s mission is to subvert the hopes and dreams of millions of people, who only want to work out a better way for humanity which is fair and takes care of everyone. I thought later about the statistics on poverty. By defining the global population in relationship to poverty, they can establish the idea that people must have money to have a better life.
I started see how these people would never allow people to work out a better life for everyone. It would go against their whole self interest is the rule of nature thing. Any proof it could work would be a threat. The thought about the utopian vision. A dream of a better life. A part of so many religions and cultures around the world. These are the people who have been subverting that vision. All of the human effort to enact a better world for everyone, does not work out because these people don’t allow it to work. Now they’re immortal. They will continue to disrupt the vision, and any progress made toward it.
