I'm not convinced that WEF is a bunch of capitalists of any kind, but they definitely are working hard to both create and sell a world where nobody other than their membership has any capital.

they distribute ideology but I strongly doubt they possess it. the "which -ist?" question works to their favor (and has for a long time).

That would be the capitalist endgame, yep. Or feudalist, if you prefer, but at the end of the day it's pigmeat v. pork; either way, you've got a tiny elite who owns (as close as possible to) everything and rents it back out to everyone else (who pays with their labor, be it directly as serfs or indirectly via their wages).
