What is outside of the control of the elites of the world is the technological revolution converging with monetary and political revolutions (schemes reaching their best by date). They aren't sure how that is going to play out, and there's a number of possible answers. So the cabals are allowed to bat for their favorite one and fight for it. What system is going to prevail is unknown even to them. The main 2 factions are western sufism and thelema, represented by the WEF/EU and Trump/Musk. Thelema gained a mandate to try their project in "most of" America, instead of the western sufis or other smaller less important cabals. The western sufi view is "state capitalism", basically, responding the rise of China with making everything like China. A small God-like elite who has supreme powers, and engineers society, more so on the social/cultural side. Their view is shortsighted, China is not prepared for the 5th industrial revolution. This hinges on issues like: "Its finally time for plannified economies since we can use AI?" and "Is a large population a bonus or a hinderance in post-automation society?"
The Thelemist view is manifested as "private capitalism", as in, instead of responding to China's advance by copying China, they will quadruple down on freedom. Every corporation will be its own civilizational project and so on. This view is more appropriate to respond to the 5th Industrial Revolution and depopulation.
There's a lot more to it, but this is the core issue.
