Climate Cult Great Moments In Socialism nannystate 37 Comments

Now that Mark Carney is going to spend the next several weeks pretending that the last nine years never happened, now’s a good a time as any to dig into his past. In a nutshell, you don’t want that for Prime Minister.

Carney draws inspiration from, among others, Marx, Engels and Lenin, but the agenda he promotes differs from Marxism in two key respects. First, the private sector is not to be expropriated but made a “partner” in reshaping the economy and society. Second, it does not make a promise to make the lives of ordinary people better, but worse. Carney’s Brave New World will be one of severely constrained choice, less flying, less meat, more inconvenience and more poverty: “Assets will be stranded, used gasoline powered cars will be unsaleable, inefficient properties will be unrentable,” he promises.

  1. these blokes take inspiration from hollyweird, 1984, soylent green,
    escape from new york, farenheit 451; life imitating art on the global scale.

    1. I vaguely recall some guy making industry a “partner” to reshape Germany’s economy and society in the 1930’s. This approach was so successful that by the 1940’s he had reshaped more than half of Europe’s.

      1. That guy you vaguely recalled plagiarised the idea from an Italian journalist who became Prime Minister of Italy in 1922, eleven years before the Austrian guy you reference rose to power in exactly the same way.

        The economic theory of “corporatism” was developed first in Italy and adopted later in Germany and was, indeed, described as a partnership of government, labour, and business. The idea outlived the defeat of Italy and Germany during World War II.

      2. Well… That comment saves me the trouble of posting, other than to say that I’m glad the obvious isn’t lost on at least some segment of our society.
        Ok… so I posted anyway… [sigh]

  2. Make no mistake this guy is a WEF, Climate Change, elite globalist if ever there was one.
    His wife is a total effing loon. Not Sophie crazy but close enough.

    1. I’ve actually seen a few pics of Euro-Carney’s wife, who – assuming one likes horse-y, small-breasted, patrician-jawed private school type women (guilty as charged) – doesn’t look half bad, although that is certainly not inconsistent with her being a total loon (evidence?). Sophie is waaaay crazier though, as witness (warning: you can’t un-see this):

    2. The only evidence Sophie was truly crazy was agreeing to be the prop wife for the faggot Trudeau. Probably a pretty good payoff, and if you think somebody wasn’t chuffing that, well………

  4. Huh, what do you call it when private enterprise becomes a “partner” of the government?

    Surely such a thing has never been tried before.

  7. Yeahhh….like Carney – as busy as he is – actually wrote that “Values” book. It was OBVIOUSLY ghostwritten (perhaps by AI) with a view to his doing a run at high public office and his using the book as a promotional prop to leave attendees after his speaking engagements, a conversation piece, way to keep his name in the news, etc. This is obvious.

    And why would ANYONE even bother reading it”? Its being a stock distillation – again, AI could have written it – of about a thousand hackneyed WEF-themed talking points, catch-phrases and clichés.

    Carney’s possibly greatest sin is that he’s completely dull.

  8. Carney, unless things have changed in the last few years, receives a substantial amount of his income from his family’s ownership of McCain’s potatos.

    I haven’t bought any of his spuds in more than a decade. The ones I make from scratch taste much better.

    Fascism should more properly be called corporatism, since it is the merger of state and corporate power.
    Benito Mussolini

    From the UKs Financial Times:
    // Corporate America embraces a new era of conservatism under Donald Trump
    Companies are doing away with diversity, equity and inclusion programmes, cutting support for racial diversity charities and dropping out of climate action groups.
    They’re also clearing anything that could be seen as “woke” from public statements, corporate documents and advertising.
    Some CEOs have been emboldened to speak out in favour of conservative policies such as tax cuts and traditional gender roles.
    To some on Wall Street, the shift is a breath of fresh air.
    Bankers and financiers say that Trump’s victory has empowered those who felt they had to self-censor or change their language to avoid offending younger colleagues, women, minorities or disabled people.
    “I feel liberated,” said a top banker.
    “We can say ‘retard’ and ‘pussy’ without the fear of getting cancelled . . . it’s a new dawn.”

    But I think Gleichschaltung is more accurate

    1. He removes the only journalists in the room, he’s telling us who he is.

      If there were other journalists in the room they would have walked out in professional solidarity.

    2. WTF does Carney get armed officers?? Are they cops?? Who is he to have a detail? Never mind, I forget this is Canada, and it’s decided already.

    3. I thought that was appalling. It’s exactly the kind of thing that caused Trudeau to lose a lot of support. People don’t like exclusiveness in their political leaders, and as a politician, you are expected to talk to the public — even to those who do not support you. Carney is acting like the elitist that people claim he is.

  11. Elite outsider

    After communism started turning green a few decades ago an evil clown like him was bound to come along

    Voters are very stupid, this nasty SOB could easily be our next PM, he already owns the media & gov’t

    Explains why canadians are poorer now since he was in charge of our bank. Another rich bastard.

  12. I’ll wait for Andy Coyne to weigh in with his endorsement…daddy being the former governor of the Bank of Canada and all.
    Of course this is all contingent on whether or not Andy can kick his Orange man bad addiction.

  13. Don’t you just get the warm and fuzzy when they quote Lenin. Reminds of those glory days of Covid when people ratted out their neighbours for having a family function. The quote of being intelligent and a socialist as being dangerous, is another gem. My intuition is this man views our behaviours like herding cattle through the curved gates only to be inevitably caught in the head gate for behavioural modification.

  14. Matthew 24: 21,22. BSB. Jesus speaking about the last (our) days.

    21 For at that time there will be great tribulation, unseen from the beginning of the world until now, and never to be seen again. 22 If those days had not been cut short, nobody would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, those days will be cut short.

    With “leaders” like Biden Trudeau, Freeland, Carney, et al, you can see the bad days coming.

  15. I remember reading this article.
    Don’t Underestimate Evil or the base ignorance of the average Canadian voter. Both are appalling.
    #TurdholeDominion

  16. Sounds a lot like fascism.

    If liberalism spells individualism, Fascism spells government. Mussolini The Doctrine of Fascism

  17. How long before he says “Everything within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state” or some variation?

  18. International Socialism collapsed because Elites don’t being poor. What good is power if you can’t roll like royalty?

    International Fascism, in its guise of Globalism, lets the Elites be both rich and powerful. They get to lord over the proles and party in the Riviera with their WEF buddies.
