I wonder if there is any dogwhistling in releasing an article associating George Soros specifically with unipolarity, wonder if anything is going on there ??? They did not have to even report on this speech that they described as “boring” in the piece, really just a mystery why they would publish a piece associating the biggest target of antisemetic hate (although obviously all billionaires are bad people) with unipolarity I bet the comment sections aren’t filled with rabid antisemitism they would surely moderate such things bc they are pro denazification, very strange overall can’t make sense of it. :soviet-hmm:

And it is an opinion piece but they released it in world news not their opinion section so clearly that’s some kind of endorsement, not a good look that the writer also writes for CGTN and Xinhua gonna do mf elders of zion baiting for the emeging multipolar world

In his latest speech, the aging billionaire took potshots at world leaders who fell out of step with his liberal fantasy

Soros, who runs the Open Society Foundation, defined an ongoing war between so-called open societies and closed societies. He said that India’s Modi is “no democrat” and pointed to “violence against Muslims” as part of his “meteoric rise”.

What Soros was really rambling against wasn’t corruption or anti-democratic behavior — but the emerging multipolar world order, of which India and Türkiye are, to various degrees, becoming a part. I will not waste my time defending the likes of Modi or Erdogan, as their records are, in my opinion, indefensible. But it’s not their autocratic leanings that Soros hates about them — it’s their flickers of independence.

Despite what the aging “philanthropist” desires, the era of unipolar liberal hegemony is over. The world is entering a new era of multilateralism and anti-hegemony. Soros’ speech before the Munich Security Conference may, in this way, be a symbol. A symbol of how the old way of doing things dies with the ramblings of an old man while the emerging multipolar world order is born in the thunderous cry of billions of youth across the Global South.

    Just a reminder that Soros became a billionaire by causing the Asian Financial Crisis of 1998, which caused widespread human misery. Hiw eyes twinkled and he smiled when recollecting it in an interview.

          Why does the article associate Soros with unipolarity, you ask? Is it because he is Jewish or is it because he is right there speaking in support of unipolarity?!

          He's speaking at the Munich Security Conference, the biggest annual meeting of transatlantic ghouls. Why do they center a Soros speech when every other western billionaire is, out of sheer class interest, as pro-NATO as Soros and when the entirity of NATO's military and political leadership is also present, and unlike Soros directly discusses Realpolitik instead of spewing an endless litany of pure ideology with chud-triggering buzzwords like "open society"? Because with centering the already established jewish bogeyman, they're baiting the queerphobic, xenophobic antisemites they pander to, which demonstrably works the way they intend it.

          Unfortunately, this easily plays into NATO's propagandistic strategy of slandering all anti-imperialism as rightwing and having reactionaries take over the entirety of western anti-war sentiment. Russia has been banking exclusively on reactionary support abroad for years, completely disregarding anything that remains of the western left, as they take our support for granted even when their entire foreign agitprop strategy is to mobilize fascists. What Russia is doing here will, in the long term, make it impossible for western leftists to openly engage in pacifist action and will contribute to reducing us to a mere apendage of liberalism. You can already see how this plays out. What little anti-war protest we have in my country is entirely inaccessible to me. idk about your background, maybe you look normal enough to safely march side by side with the nazis that have infiltrated these protests and are openly welcomed by the nightmare coalition of patsocs and terfs that organize them. But i don't. i'm too clockable for that. They literally want to exterminate people like me, are you telling me i need to cooperate with them? How is that supposed to work?

        comments bad, article fundamentally correct that Soros’ “open” societies exclude the majority of the global south in favor of Western domination

    Modi and Erodgan are scumbags and I'm sure there are many less liberal billionaires who love them. There is a reason why the western governments don't cover media repression or human rights abuses in India or Turkey, its because U.S. needs them to combat China (in India's case) or in the Middle East (in case of Turkey). Arguably, having fascists like Modi/Erdogan is better for the U.S. because of their repression of leftists and progressives.

    That said it is disgusting that Soros is not so subtlety calling for regime change and why both the Indian Government and the liberal opposition dunked on him for saying this shit.

    CW: extreme doomerism

    The fact that we were unable to achieve global communism as the pole in a unipolar world is ultimately what will bring down the human race. The planet can't sustain dozens of little capitalist fiefdoms doing consumerism to build their productive forces. I realize how bad that sounds coming from someone in a warm home with plenty to eat in the global north, but that doesn't make it any less true. I'm not making an argument for neoliberalism or unipolarity, just merely pointing out that we are absolutely fucked.

      Soros and all the other global governance advocates also want a unipolar world. US military force is how they're going to get it.

        I'm aware of that. Because the unipolar world Soros and the neo-liberal west wants requires that the rest of the world suffer so that the west can benefit, the eventual result is going to be global conflict involving nuckear weapons and extinction. A multipolar world of different capitalist factions trying to build their own wealth is going to accelerate the degradation of earth's ecosystems even more rapidly than the current pace.The earth can simply not sustain 8 billion people living the lifestyle of those of us in the US. My point is that both paths lead to the eventual extinction of our species. The way forward was world communism, but it very much feels like that option is off the table.

                George Soros does not want to destroy the US to fund the developing world. Are you lost?

                      The Concept of Global Governance

                      There is no alternative to working together and using collective power to create a better world.

                      Governance is the sum of the many ways individuals and institutions, public and private, manage their common affairs. It is a continuing process through which conflicting or diverse interests may be accommodated and co- operative action may be taken. It includes formal institutions and regimes empowered to enforce compliance, as well as informal arrangements that people and institutions either have agreed to or perceive to be in their interest.

                        No, no, no. You don't get to come on here and parrot Nazi shit and then try to pivot back to whatever the fuck this is. Shut up, don't care, go away.

                          I see you're totally unfamiliar with the concept of global governance. It's a pity, there's a lot of good in it. Educate youreself. Imagine a world without war, because there are no nations. Imagine no borders, because the entire idea is silly. Did King Arthur keep the kingdoms of Sussex and Wessex after he united Britain? After Emperor Huangdi united China?

    The article could be better written, but I don't see anything dunk-worthy about it. I can only speak to the parts about Soros speaking on China but I more or less agree with the writer that Soros is completely ill informed. I don't necessarily agree that Soros has some sort of fetish for unipolarity in itself, but I think it's a reasonable conclusion to draw.
