Why do people say the World economic forum is pushing socialist views?

The WEF is not socialist. I’d say closer to Black-Mirror techno-fascist, maybe. Or Chinese-style central authoritarianism. But mostly it’s just a place where surplus elites go to listen to some of the world’s worst ideas to justify flying around the world in their Gulfstreams and pounding out more CO2 per hour than most people manage in a year.

It’s also a full employment program for the region’s prostitutes and escorts.

The WEF thinks we need global solutions to our problems, issued by global authorities. I can’t think of many things more dangerous or more likely to create widespread misery.

And it’s not just all talk, and it’s not harmless. The farmer’s riots in Europe are all about rejecting WEF-style plans for centralizing agriculture and forcing reductions in food supply for the planet.
WEF styled policies in Sri Lanka caused food riots. The WEF-aligned governmentts in New Zealand and the Netherlands both fell due to widespread opposition.

In Canada, our finance minister is on the board of the WEF, and Klaus Schwab brags that over half of Canada’s cabinet is composed of WEF leaders. And we’ve been piloting every crackpot WEF proposal. The latest was ARRIVE-Can, a pilot project for the WEF’s global digital ID program. It was a corrupt failure.

As you can see, I’m not a fan. But it’s not a bunch of socialists. For which the socialists are probably very happy.
