These quotidian delusions provide a context in which right-wing conspiracy fantasies can seem plausible to some. Evangelical salvation, American exceptionalism, personal wealth as a measure of virtue, patriotism, nationalism-all are dependent upon fantasies. But then again, much of what we normally take for reality is largely a screen of clichés-ideological fantasies-that have no basis in fact but that we live through more or less willingly anyway. It is not waiting for the right arrangement of material reality to confirm its conjectures. I say this is a conspiracy fantasy because there is nothing theoretical or even hypothetical about it. In some versions of this theory, Donald Trump is the only leader keeping all this from happening. The claims get woollier from there: the Great Reset has also let loose Covid-19 in order to create conditions that would allow them to take control of world politics and economics, replace national currencies with cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, instate a communist dictatorship (aka the New World Order), and mandate a Covid vaccine containing a GPS tracker designed to provide universal police surveillance. Now, Huntington was a Harvard Man and no right-wing conspiracy theorist, but this description is not far removed from the conclusions of a popular conspiracy fantasy that asserts-among many, many things-that the world is being taken over by global elites toiling against our interests under the banner of Schwab’s Great Reset.

Huntington, the attendees of this forum are “Davos Men,” a wealthy global elite who “have little need for national loyalty, view national boundaries as obstacles that thankfully are vanishing, and see national governments as residues from the past whose only useful function is to facilitate the elite’s global operations.” In the words of political scientist Samuel P. The World Economic Forum sponsors an annual conference in Switzerland, popularly known as Davos, an invitation-only event attended by industrial and governmental leaders from around the world.

Klaus Schwab is the founder and current chairman of the World Economic Forum and author, with economist Thierry Malleret, of 2020’s enormously controversial book Covid-19: The Great Reset.

who is klaus schwab, and why are people saying such terrible things about him? All the animals, the plants, the minerals, even other kinds of men, are being broken and reassembled every day, to preserve an elite few, who are the loudest to theorize on freedom but the least free of all.
