}}{{Quote|Welcome to 2030. I own nothing, have no privacy, and life has never been better.|{{i|Schwab}} [[State Liberalism|Klaus Schwab]]}}'''Schwabism''', also known as '''WEFism''', is the ideology of the {{i|Neolib}} [[Neoliberalism|neoliberal]] and {{i|Oligarchy}} [[Oligarchy|oligarchal]] founder of the {{i|WEF}} [[World Economic Forum]], Klaus Schwab. He is {{i|AuthRight}} [[Authoritarian Right]] but {{i|Prog}} [[Progressivism|Culturally Far-Left]]. Schwabism wants a {{i|Corporatocracy}} [[Corporatocracy|corporate]] dominated world that pursues {{i|Envi}} [[Environmentalism|green policies]] by using {{i|Auth}} [[Authoritarianism|authoritarian]] methods. He also wants a global ID system to monitor and control everyone. <s>He also wants to force feed the population with bugs.</s>

Schwabism is the closest contender for an {{i|Illuminatism}} [[Illuminatism|Illuminati]] that {{i|Conspiracism}} [[Conspiracism|conspiracy theories]] describe. He is represented as a School of Thought of {{i|StateLib}} [[State Liberalism]], and is described as dystopian. He is also very cryptic and mysterious, on the surface he's seen as a friendly and {{I|Prog}} [[Progressivism|progressive]] businessmen and economist who wants to change the world for the better by tackling {{I|AntiEnvi}} [[Anti-Environmentalism|climate change]] and destroying food waste and inequality. However, many others suspect that it's all a façade and Schwabism is only doing this so he can slowly and surely take over the {{I|Earth}} [[Earth|world]] and {{I|NeoSlavery}} [[Neo-Slavery|enslave]] all of humanity, destroying all governments and {{I|Nationalism}} [[Nationalism|nations]] so everyone will be at Schwabism's grip.

== History & Life ==
Klaus Schwab was born in the year 1938, on the 30th of March. His parents had moved from {{i|Switzerland}} [[Switzerland]] the {{i|Nazi}} [[German Third Reich]] in order for his father to assume the role of director at {{i|Industrialism}} [[Escher Wyss & Cie.|Escher Wyss AG]], an industrial company and contractor for the Nazi regime. Despite Schwab's father being a baptized {{i|Lutheran}} [[Lutheranism|Lutheran]], Schwab was raised {{i|Catholicism}} [[Catholicism|Catholic]].

Klaus Schwab founded the {{i|WEF}} [[World Economic Forum]] in 1971.

Together with his wife {{i|Female}} [[Female|Hilde Schwab]], Klaus founded the {{i|Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship}} [[Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship]] in 1994.

Schwab won the ''Present – Leadership: Changing our World'' award from the {{i|Dan David}} [[Dan David Foundation|Dan David]] awards in 2004 and received 1 million dollars. With this money, Klaus Schwab founded the {{i|YGL}} [[Young Global Leaders]] in the same year.

Klaus Schwab stepped down as the leader of the WEF in April 2025.

<s>It's 2099. Klaus Schwab, dressed in his carbon-neutral suit, overlooks the world in ruins. His eyes flicker with data streams. His hands bear the scars of a thousand failed utopias.</s>

== Beliefs ==
=== Corporate Centric World ===
Schwabism believes that traditional nation-states are outdated and should hand over their power to multinational {{i|Corporatocracy}} [[Corporatocracy|corporations]]. After what's called the "Great Reset", the {{i|Earth}} [[Earth|world]] will be ruled by a polite, smiling cartel of {{i|MegaCorp}} [[Mega Corporatocracy|megacorporations]], {{i|Puppet}} [[Puppet Dictatorship|government puppets]], and carefully selected NGOs. No more {{i|Dem}} [[democracy]], just efficient, unelected, well-funded {{i|Oligarchy}} [[Oligarchy|oligarchs]] all working together to manage society from the top down.

=== The Great Reset ===
The "Great Reset" is a vague big-picture recovery plan for the world economy after COVID-19 that will apparently solve many of the problems that currently plague the world. According to Schwabism, COVID-19 presents an excellent opportunity to reset and reshape the world that is more aligned with the 2030 {{i|UN}} [[Sustainable Development Goals]]. Schwabism wants to basically reset how labor is handled using by reskilling and upskilling workers and with new technology, allow more people to work at home. He also wants a lot of food protectionism to prevent waste of food and hunger, also to secure the food supply. Bugs are apparently the way to secure the food supply according to Schwabism and he wants everyone to eat ze bugs <s>especially by force</s>.

Many see the Great Reset in a more sinister way seeing as a {{I|MegaCorp}} [[Mega Corporatocracy|corporatocratic dystopia]] where an extremely {{I|Plutocracy}} [[Plutocracy|wealthy]] undemocratic {{I|Elitism}} [[Elitism|elite]] make decisions for the people without the people's consent. Many people see the Great Reset as a group of world leaders and rich elites who want to take over the economy and the {{i|Earth}} [[Earth|world]]. It also dives into {{I|Conspiracism}} [[Conspiracism|conspiracy theories]] where COVID-19 was made up by a secretive group and the Great Reset will basically {{I|NeoSlavery}} [[Neo-Slavery|enslave]] humanity under their control. In this dystopian view of the Great Reset, basically people own nothing and people will be "happy". In this dystopia, everything is rented and given to people by drones. Anything criticizing these policies or elites will be censored and probably the person will disappear while being hated by society through some algorithm trickery. The world elites get to {{I|Pseudohistory}} [[Pseudohistoricism|decide what is truth and what isn't]]. Everyone will be forced to eat bugs in order to conserve food and stop food waste. All of {{I|Mediacracy}} [[Mediacracy|media]] will be controlled by corporate elites and people will be seen nothing as cogs of a machine that serve the global elite while they try to instill {{I|Prog}} [[Progressivism|progressive]] ideals onto people.

=== Fourth Industrial Revolution ===
Schwabism wants a {{I|PostIndust}} [[Post-Industrialism|Fourth Industrial Revolution]], basically a boom in 
artificial intelligence, nanotechnologies, 3-D printing, biotechnology, and all the new technology that is coming out making a more interconnected world. According to Schwabism, the First Industrial Revolution was by water and steam, the second through electronics, and the third through automation and mass production. Schwabism believes the Fourth Industrial Revolution would basically wipe out any of the problems that plague the current world today making every product now a free service due to wiping out costs due to how cheap things are. Schwabism quoted this as "Welcome to 2030. I own nothing, have no privacy, and life has never been better" which the concept already sounds like something from a dystopia <s>because it is</s>. This alone has generated many conspiracies theories regarding the Great Reset into some dystopian {{I|Totalitarianism}} [[Totalitarianism|totalitarian]] {{I|Corporatocracy}} [[Corporatocracy|corporatocratic]] world, especially by {{I|Rpop}} [[Right-Wing Populism]].

== Songs ==
=== R U Ready 4 Ze New World Order? ===
'''R U Ready 4 Ze New World Order?''' is a song video of deepfake Klaus Schwab singing, paired with a Schwab-like voice with all the weird pronunciations. It has been uploaded by {{i|Satirism}} [[Satirism|Michaelanthony]] on {{i|YouTube}} [[YouTube]]. The original video was taken down along his channel but remains on {{i|Rumble}} [[Rumble]]. There have been a couple of reuploads onto YouTube aswell, and Michealanthony made a new YouTube channel and uploaded it again with a 2025 remaster.

This song is usually used as a theme for the World Government, a country led by Klaus Schwab in the HOI4 mod ''The Fire Rises''.

Here's a little song I wrote<br>
You might want to hear it, in your pod<br>
You'll own nothing<br>
And be happy<br>

Ain't got no cash, ain't got no car<br>
But twenty-four booster shots in your arm<br>
Own nothing<br>
Be happy<br>

You can't even buy sh*t in ze store<br>
Because of your low social credit score<br>
Own nothing<br>
Be happy<br>

({{i|Microsoft}} [[Microsoft|Bill Gates]] joins in to sing a melody)<br>

You will own nothing<br>
And be happy<br>
Be happy and eat ze bugs
