纳奥米·克莱因与阿斯特拉·泰勒合著的《终极时代法西斯》一书揭示了全球最富有人群正在如何为一个后民主世界做准备1。该书以贾里德·库什纳和史蒂夫·维特科夫在达沃斯讨论一个名为"新加沙"的高墙城市项目为开篇1。特朗普随后宣布了一个"私有化的联合国"——和平委员会用于加沙重建1。
克莱因在书中主张,财富的极端集中改变了超级富豪的行为方式,从以往的"诱导仪式"转变为公然的蔑视与极端主义意识形态1。她表示:"极端财富具有使人精神混乱的效果。它几乎不可避免地把你变成一个至上主义者"1。克莱因进一步指出,当今最富有的人群并非因为无知而危险,而是因为他们清楚地知道自己的所作所为:"我们不是在与不理解气候变化的愚蠢人打交道。我们面对的是清楚地知道如何连接35台燃气涡轮的人"1。书中还提到彼得·蒂尔在迈阿密举办了"敌人"主题的讨论和"启示录舞会"1。
面对这一趋势,克莱因主张应建立"财富武装解除运动"来进行对抗1。
Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor have co-authored a new book, "The End Times Fascism," which examines how extreme wealth concentration leads to the abuse of power and authoritarianism among the global elite 1. The book opens with an anecdote about Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff discussing a walled city project called "New Gaza" at the 2026 Davos conference, and references Trump's announcement of a "privatized United Nations"—a Peace Commission for Gaza reconstruction 1.
Klein argues that the concentration of wealth fundamentally alters the behavior of billionaires and the ultrawealthy. "Extreme wealth has a deranging effect. It almost inevitably turns you into a supremacist," Klein states 1. She contends that this shift represents a departure from earlier forms of wealth's influence toward an era of open contempt and extremist ideology 1. The book also highlights examples such as Peter Thiel hosting "enemies" themed discussions and an "apocalypse ball" in Miami 1.
Klein emphasizes that the challenge posed by the world's richest individuals is not one of ignorance about complex systems like climate change. "We're not dealing with stupid people who don't understand how climate change works. We're dealing with people who clearly understand how to connect 35 gas turbines," she observes 1. In response to these developments, Klein advocates for building a "wealth disarmament movement" to counter the consolidation of power among the ultrawealthy 1.
