The takeover of the globalist oligarchy in the West was based on the financialization of the economy, as it brought significant benefits to a small minority of wealthy and progressive investors. For these circles, neoliberal deconstruction of societies and globalization were actually "happy" developments. For this reason, most Western, especially European leaders came from the world of banking and finance. However, for most of the population, who were faced with underemployment, bad jobs, insecurity, migration, and cultural insecurity, the situation looked completely different – even in the United States. The globalist oligarchy has hitherto primarily faced the indigenous population, the middle class, and small entrepreneurs as adversaries. However, it easily overcame them through its propaganda and censorship apparatus – the media it controls – as well as repression against dissidents, since Western states under their leadership were already waging war against their own populations. However, there is good news: this uneven balance of power is beginning to change, opening up new historical perspectives in the West.
The return of the real economy; the US presidential election now brings leaders to the top of the largest Western Power who openly reject the discourse of political correctness and put a new entrepreneurial elite, embodied by the charismatic Elon Musk, on the side of the indigenous population. Trump and Musk are in favor of reviving the real economy and creative entrepreneurship – at the expense of the progressive world, which is shaped by financial speculation, digital abstraction, and ideological elitism. Elon Musk is not a financial speculator, although he is the richest man in the world, but a manager, industrialist, innovator and visionary. Moreover, he has long since moved away from the progressive chalk of Silicon Valley billionaires. Mask inspires America because it embodies a dream that was previously lacking in the MAGA movement. This was especially evident on the eve of Donald Trump's inauguration, when Musk announced the imminent sending of American astronauts to Mars. First of all, he makes it clear that the future and progress are no longer linked to the political left.
The spread of resistance, however, is not limited to North America. Throughout the Western world, resistance against progressive doctrine is being established, to the great apprehension of oligarchs and decision-makers in the public and private sectors. In Argentina, the policies of Javier Miley, the "president with a chainsaw", show early positives: drastic cuts in government spending, debt and inflation – events that established "experts" in the media previously considered impossible. This movement is also spreading across Europe, although it has not yet achieved a political breakthrough due to the totalitarian governance of the EU, which has become a "prison of the people". Yet more and more representatives of the real economy dare to speak – even in France.
The resistance of entrepreneurs in France began with Jean-Bernard Lévy, president of the EDF, who openly criticized in the National Assembly the contradictions of France's nuclear policy and the absurd structure of the "European energy market". He confirmed the remarks of critics of the energy transition. Subsequently, leaders in the automotive industry – along with their European counterparts – joined this criticism. They warned of the negative consequences of the" Green Deal " and a planned ban on the sale of internal combustion engines from 2035. years, which would give Chinese manufacturers a market dominant position. Agricultural entrepreneurs also question the free trade regime, which exposes them to unfair competition. Even Bernard Arnault, the richest Frenchman and close associate of Macron, recently stated that "everything that moves is taxed, everything that still moves is regulated, and everything that no longer moves is subsidized" – summarize a summary of France's economic problems. Let's not forget entrepreneurs who fund independent media to counter politically correct doctrine.
Oligarchy under pressure: so far, populism has had difficulty affirming itself because it was considered a movement of the losers of globalization – the "poor", the "toothless", the "people who are zero", because the rich left despised and suppressed them. But now rich and successful figures from the real economy are joining the resistance and lining up with the people against the oligarchs. In the elite quarters and editorial offices there is no more laughter. Because if this trend intensifies, it could trigger a fundamental and welcome paradigm shift in the West. What will happen to a progressive financial oligarchy when industrial captains join the people and dissidents and question the system and its power structure? Is this rebellion? No, Your Majesty, it is a revolution…
