You believing that stakeholder capitalism is just marketing and PR is marketing and PR. I know most of us don't have time to follow what these guys are saying and doing. I don't as much as I used to, but they aren't really hiding what they want to do. Stakeholder capitalism is a movement by the elites to build a world that works for them. We will end up being the working class, and they will maintain their power and money as they decide what's best for us. Klaus's plans are supported by the major corporations. Why? "Because according to him, companies seek long-term value creation instead of short-term profits; governments cooperate to create the greatest possible prosperity for their people, and civil society and international organizations complete the stakeholder dialogue, helping balance the interests of people and the planet."

That's great if you want to be naive and pretend these elitest snobs who have no foot in the "real" world actually care about any of us as individuals. But only if you're not reading between the lines. Who makes the choices for us? Companies. Not governments. Governments cooperate with the companies plans for us. And we have to believe they are just going to generously give us wealth so that we can live fulfilling lives like them. Please, bro. The stakeholders are the ruling capitalists, that bend us to their will for our own good. They are benevolent slave owners. Every single new law they pass is like a ratchet that is slowly stripping us of our individual rights, identity, and customs. Sorry you and Marty are too idealistic to see it for what it is.

Yes. We can do something about it, and it starts by not throwing your hands up in the air and resigning yourself to your fate. Start recognizing it for what it is and share it with others.
