Rage of the #Oligarchs - #NaomiKlein: ‘What They Want Is Absolutely Everything’

The all-star academic and Shock Doctrine author breaks down the dark logic of Trump and Musk’s path of destruction — and what the world’s richest people really want

May 4, 2025

Excerpt: [Klein] "But now, #capitalism has entered a radical and #apocalyptic phase. There is no #utopian vision in any of this. Instead, there’s a final battle. And this is where it gets really dark. The people who are advancing this agenda are also building their #LuxuryBunkers and their #spaceships to #Mars. They don’t believe that there is a future. These people believe history is ending, literally. It’s end times! Get onto your rocket ship, or get into your golden city in the sky. And that is distinct."

The rise of end times fascism

The governing ideology of the far right has become a monstrous, supremacist survivalism. Our task is to build a movement strong enough to stop them

The Guardian

Having studied history and religions (and learning about "End Times" Baptists firsthand), I can tell you that this UNHOLY alliance is the greatest threat to life on #MotherEarth! They discount the Earth because they don't believe She is alive! That is the difference between Earth-based religions and hierarchical ones -- which also include the religion of greed, money, and seeing our beautiful world as just something to exploit!

“End Times Fascism”: Naomi Klein on How Trump, Musk, Far Right “Don’t Believe in the Future”

May 05, 2025, #DemocracyNow

"[W]e are in a moment where our elites, whether they admit it or not, do understand that our economic model — and I’ve written books about this and talked about it with you in the past — is at war with life on Earth, right? And they are barreling down this road of more and more extraction of fossil fuels, of all kinds of — you know, basically, anything they can extract from this Earth and turn into energy and money, particularly now with AI, which is a energy and resource hog — water, LNG, critical minerals, all of it.

So, we’re trying to understand how this is informing the kind of fascism that we’re seeing, and also we’re trying to understand what unites this kind of strange Frankenstein coalition that Trump represents, where he’s bringing together these — you know, the richest people in the world who have ever existed with many working-class people, so what binds the vision, right?

"And what we cope with in this piece, or what we propose in this piece, is that they all have given up on this world. Like, they all have bought into a kind of apocalyptic fever — right? — whether it’s #ElonMusk and #JeffBezos and their investments in outer space and sort of writing off this planet, whether #AI, which is willing to sacrifice this animate world in order to build an artificial world, or whether it’s the more populist #MAGA vision of the fortress nation-state — right? — which is thinking, 'OK, we know more and more people are going to be coming. We know that disaster is on the horizon.' "

“End Times Fascism”: Naomi Klein on How Trump, Musk, Far Right “Don’t Believe in the Future”

An alliance between the far right and Silicon Valley oligarchs has given rise to a form of “end times fascism,” says journalist Naomi Klein, who details in a recent essay co-authored with Astra Taylor how many wealthy elites are preparing for the end of the world even as they contribute to growing inequality, political instability and the climate crisis. Klein says that while billionaires dream of escaping to bunkered enclaves or even to space, President Donald Trump and other right-wing leaders are turning their countries into militarized fortress states to keep out immigrants from abroad and ramp up authoritarian control domestically. “There’s always an apocalyptic quality to fascism, but fascism of the 1930s and ’40s had a horizon” for a utopian future, says Klein. Today, by contrast, “we’re up against people who are actively betting against the future — not just actively betting against it, but fueling the fires that are burning this world.”
