By liberal, I mean free-market liberalism (like FDP in Germany). I'm European. It didn't occur to me that people in the U.S. would misunderstand and think "liberal" means "left". Is that the miscommunication that's happening here?

Likely. I live in the US, and the terms "liberal" and "conservative" are used to mean left/right in US politics. Thus, in US politics terms, your comment says "A left-leaning newspaper reports on the left-leaning WEF...".

The World Economic Forum is just a company with a specific tax efficient corporate structure that has built a great deal of wealth for the bloke who owns it. Pretending it's something amazingly different to Cannes Film Festival or the Golden Globes would be a mistake. It's just networks + publicity rolled up as a VIP access event. (N.B. Didn't check if Cannes, GG, etc are privately held. Doesn't change my point)

Is it just a company? Or is it also a club similar to Bilderberg Group, Bohemian Club, Le Cercle and others that drawn in powerful elites that collude as a group to coordinate changes to corporate structures and policy that ultimately shape bits and pieces of society and laws of all the first world nations? Companies ultimately fund lobbyists and if most companies are on the same page then these groups of companies c…

That's not really where i see the problem, the problem for the WEF is optics, a bunch of world leaders talking about radical changes in our society is going to look bad, regardless of whether they are serious or not and regardless of what the actual details of the conversation are. The prime example of this is when the WEF published the infamous "you will own nothing and you will be happy line". Now if you actually r…

They probably didn't expect backlash because whenever a giant megacorp ceo says "We are going to change the world (and make you pay for it)" people freaking cheer and their stock goes to the moon.

Wow, this is increadibly weak stuff. A left-leaning newspaper reports on the liberal-leaning WEF, airing the complains of an anonymous group of employees, some of them not even current employees. > Klaus has been at the helm of the WEF for 52 years. Wouldn't that make him qualified to continue doing what he has been doing for 52 years? > When he was born [in 1938] 122 of the 195 states in the world right now did not…
