Well obviously their interests lay in keeping the capitalist system in tact. Of course they will have to make some labor concessions and all the rest but for the most part, their purpose will be how to keep the system afloat.

Global leaders meet in Davos to discuss world issues. What should their priority be?

To pull their heads out of their asses, and see that some radical concessions are needed. But as the previous poster just noted, they're going to attempt to keep the same old game afloat.

Their priority should be to fucking kill themselves because they need to die along with their system of economics.

I couldn't have put it better myself. Only overly-optimistic social democrats would think that Davos can change anything.

This would be a positive first step if the welfare of the human-race is of any consideration.

I very much doubt concessions are on their minds. They will discuss how to get others apart from the business class to pay for the current crisis.

He can't answer you. He is a robot.

And no it won't make a difference.

what are you doing on a revolutionary leftist site if you're Fabianist? Fabianism is just radical reformism (reform untill socialism).. and it's bound to fail.

Hm... obviously their interests lay in exerting on each other every sexual perversion they can imagine. But they are too ugly, so they'll stick with their old routine.

Indeed you are correct on Fabianism but I think its fair enough for somebody of this type to come here. He may well end up learning something and changing his opinions.

No they dont this is the best time for capitalists to attack the working class, when they are divided.

very true.

[Davie zepeda]

Nothing new they had these summit over 100 years as wells as organizations in the end they prove to be more of tool of the ruling class then the system it's self.

Yes and no. They will increase their hostility against the working class and it will be quite obvious in some cases (See Republic Windows case). But at the same time, if history is any example (e.g. New Deal), the capitalist class will certainly make some concessions. Just look at the rhetoric of the new American government for example, and even certain banking commercials that spout rhetoric about developing workers lives instead of profit motives (which of course at the end of the day are the driving force of capitalist development).
