ESG

Environment, social, governance - where the fascist replaces the worker with the "stakeholder". You know your company is this form of fascist when your manager's emails tout "Earth Day" and Martin Luther King, and lecture you against Hate.

I am old enough to remember the "standard reading assignments" in Massachusetts. These were bite-sized cards with some shpiel about what the authors wanted you to read. One was the royal coronation in Bhutan. The coffeehouse set were big on Bhutan in the 1990s. National Review I think it was who pointed out that Bhutan was an impoverished mediaeval despotism.

On the other side of the subcontinent, Sri Lanka in 2018 made a number of top-ten ESG lists. They told the world economic forum how they were going to eliminate poverty by 2025. I don't believe Sri Lanka are on track for this.
