They tend to be more equal than those of us in the underclass.

It's always a good time!
There is also evil!
Here is a link to the programme, to peruse. Most session tracks start Tuesday; Monday is mostly just for booking chalets and hookers and stocking up on alcohol and adrenochrome. Adrenochrome - Wikipedia

Enjoy responsibly, everyone!
This year's theme is "A Spirit Of Dialogue". 
Trump spoke at WEF. Evil.

It's actually surprisingly open. As long as you talk their "language"¹ and understand the social conventions, there really is no secret password to get in the door. In fact, they like bringing outrageous and controversial opinions into their framing. It reaffirms their self-image of omnitolerant absorption. The only universal disqualifiers are being boring or unacceptably rude. And yes, within the bubble, it's far more communist-like, although not in the vulgar conception—as long as you have enough money to not have to worry about money, or friends thereby, then cost isn't an issue. Easy enough to get a comped ticket from a patron. Indeed, "more equal than others".
¹ This is important. There is nuance on several levels.

It's one-world-order bull shite.
In my humble opinion.

No, he boasted about exaggerated stuff, that everyone knew he had no part in, and wasn't true.
I think they probably laughed at him, like everyone did at the UN when he addressed them, too.
Of course, he is not funny, they were just picking on him, more than any other politician in the history of the world (even the ones that were assassinated, or beaten, or defeated in battle, or spent the rest of their lives in prison, and stuff. He is more picked on than them).

Nah, it's just business.
Money people from most of the world, trying to make sure that they could continue making money without disruption.
The clue is in the title.

Keep supporting your leaders.
That's what they demand and expect.
