In the contemporary world, private corporations will refuse to accept social responsibility without taking certain part of rights from the state, political scientist and the leader of the Essence of Time movement Sergey Kurginyan said on Right to Know! program on the TVTs channel on March 12.
“A new world has emerged. Regardless of what kind of a world it is, we have to determine how to live in it. This is a very serious problem. It is very difficult to recognize for politicians, the national security services, the foreign ministry, the army, or economists,” Kurginyan explained.
The political scientist noted that the model proposed by the founder of the World Economic Forum Klaus Schwab, which is currently promoted as a model of the future, is in fact a remake of the Soviet model.
“This is a big Soviet plant, which had social responsibility: a hospital, a school, housing facilities etc.,” Sergey Kurginyan noted.
However, the political scientist stressed, there is a significant problem when this approach is directly applied to the current reality.
“The Soviet project with large plants and social responsibility of the management existed with an appointed director. Now imagine that this is not an appointed director, but a BlackRock (a major global investment company ― Rossa Primavera News Agency). Then, we have what everyone is discussing: we are moving towards a techno-feudalism. Does anyone want to live in it?” Kurginyan said.
Private companies will not take any social responsibility just like that, “they will ask something in return,” the political scientist believes.
“I cannot take responsibility if you do not grant me rights. Who do the rights have to be taken from? From the state. What kind of a perfect world will this be towards which we are moving?” Sergey Kurginyan wonders.
In early 2021, Klaus Schwab’s work COVID-19: The Great Reset was published, in which he called to re-think the neo-liberal capitalist ideology. According to the author, the statement that business must only do business is no longer relevant.
According to the head of the IEF, the new coronavirus pandemic has shown that enterprises are not only an economic entity, but they are also a social organism, Schwab believes. Therefore, enterprises must take more social responsibility before the public.
