So, he uses OUR money in OUR mutual funds to buy influence on boards all over America, pushing Marxism, Socialism, failure policies like ESG…. and now he is negotiating for us as well? WTF?
Also – he is the leader of a group that wants to reduce the population of Earth to 500 million, and force us all to wear masks, get any vaccine he wants whenever, and eat bugs. Yeah, sure…. . Among other absurdities.
- Not crazy, Blackrock obviously has a huge investment in the reconstruction effort. The fraud is so obvious everywhere in society now, it’s just been acceptable at this point. Minnesota has demonstrated this – Griggey7
- With him taking over the WEF, we are screwed. Just remember, he’s the one who said ‘we will force behaviors’. He’s evil. Blackrock is involved in their economic recovery to rebuild Ukraine. Maybe he can find our tax dollars that people used for their own purposes. – Jake – post at X
Larry Fink’s Statements on Control, ESG, and Stakeholder Capitalism: A Compilation of Controversial Quotes and Goals
Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager overseeing trillions in investments, has frequently articulated visions for corporate and societal change that critics interpret as dictatorial or authoritarian. These often center on “forcing behaviors” through BlackRock’s voting power on behalf of shareholders, pushing ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) agendas, and reorienting capitalism toward stakeholder interests over pure shareholder value. While Fink frames these as necessary for long-term sustainability and societal good, detractors argue they represent unelected corporate overreach, akin to top-down mandates that bypass democratic processes. Below is a curated list of his most cited quotes and stated goals, drawn from speeches, interviews, and annual letters. I’ve included context, the source/date where available, and why it’s viewed as “dictatorial”
- Quote: “You have to force behaviors, and at BlackRock, we are forcing behaviors.”
- Context: In a 2021 New York Times DealBook Summit interview, Fink discussed embedding ESG and diversity principles into corporate culture, emphasizing BlackRock’s role in using its proxy voting power (controlling shares via ETFs) to compel companies to align with these goals.
- Dictatorial Angle: Critics see this as an admission of using BlackRock’s $10+ trillion in assets to dictate corporate policies, overriding individual shareholder votes—essentially “forcing” ideological compliance under threat of divestment.
- Quote: “If you don’t force behaviors… you are gonna be impacted.”
- Context: From the same 2021 DealBook interview, Fink elaborated on the need for uniform corporate standards across regions, warning that non-compliance with ESG norms would lead to financial repercussions via BlackRock’s investment decisions.
- Dictatorial Angle: This implies punitive measures (e.g., withholding capital) for non-adherence, evoking a “comply or suffer” mandate that parallels authoritarian enforcement rather than market-driven incentives.
- Quote: “It has to be imbued in the culture of a firm. Behaviors across the entire firm in every region have to be similar, and every citizen of the firm has to understand what are acceptable and unacceptable behaviors.”
- Context: In a 2023 discussion on ESG and DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion), Fink stressed the need for global uniformity in corporate conduct, positioning BlackRock as the enforcer through its influence on portfolio companies.
- Dictatorial Angle: The language of “citizens” and “acceptable/unacceptable behaviors” suggests a centralized authority dictating moral and operational norms, reminiscent of state-like control over private entities.

- Goal: Shift from shareholder primacy to stakeholder capitalism, where companies must serve employees, customers, communities, and shareholders equally.
- Context: Outlined in BlackRock’s 2018 and subsequent annual letters to CEOs, Fink urged firms to prioritize societal impact, using BlackRock’s voting power to hold boards accountable for ESG metrics. He wrote: “Society is demanding that companies, both public and private, serve a social purpose… To prosper over time, every company must not only deliver financial performance, but also show how it makes a positive contribution to society.”
- Dictatorial Angle: Detractors argue this redefines capitalism by fiat, allowing unelected financiers like Fink to impose social engineering on businesses, potentially stifling profits and innovation for ideological ends.

(Note: While not a direct quote, this is a core stated goal repeated in multiple letters.)
- Quote: “We have to force behaviors… if these corporations don’t follow their ‘diversity’ demands then Blackrock will pull investments.”
- Context: Paraphrased from 2021-2023 interviews where Fink linked ESG voting to DEI compliance, emphasizing BlackRock’s leverage to “push companies far to the left.”
- Dictatorial Angle: Explicitly ties financial punishment to ideological conformity, giving BlackRock veto power over corporate autonomy.
- Quote: “Almost every CEO who approaches BlackRock is frightened of that outcome [losing index fund voting power].”
- Context: In a December 2025 CNBC interview, Fink reacted to potential Trump executive orders stripping asset managers of proxy voting rights, warning it would empower “foreigners and activists” while admitting BlackRock votes 98.8% with management.
- Dictatorial Angle: Reveals CEOs’ fear of BlackRock’s influence, positioning Fink as a de facto corporate overlord whose loss of control threatens the status quo of enforced compliance.
- Goal: Use capital loans and investments to “enforce corporate adherence to DEI/Sustainable Goals,” stating “society must be forced to participate.”
- Context: From 2023-2025 statements on sustainable investing, where Fink described leveraging debt and equity to mandate ESG alignment, including in emerging markets.
- Dictatorial Angle: Frames societal transformation as compulsory, with BlackRock as the enforcer, echoing coercive mechanisms like China’s social credit system.
- Quote: “Tokenization… every asset owner will become the ultimate voter” (in response to losing centralized voting power).
- Context: During the 2025 CNBC appearance, Fink reluctantly acknowledged blockchain-based tokenization could democratize voting but framed it as a threat to BlackRock’s current “chokehold” on decisions.
- Dictatorial Angle: Highlights resistance to decentralization, preferring a system where BlackRock centralizes influence over dispersed shareholders.
- Goal: “Bring down the green premium” by de-risking technologies with foundation funds, then monetizing via corporate capital.
- Context: In an August 2025 interview, Fink outlined using philanthropy to subsidize green tech, allowing BlackRock to invest profitably while “forcing compliance” on emissions and equity.
- Dictatorial Angle: Positions BlackRock as a central planner subsidizing and owning the “new green economy,” deciding winners and imposing costs on non-compliant sectors or societies.

- Quote: “Resistance to WEF-BlackRock means ‘certain death.'”
- Context: Attributed in a 2025 Rumble video compilation of Fink’s WEF/Davos remarks, linking non-adoption of ESG to economic ruin for companies and nations.
- Dictatorial Angle: ultimatum-style warning that defies globalist agendas (via BlackRock-WEF ties) invites destruction, evoking existential threats for non-submission @_TW1TTERQUITTER
These statements have fueled backlash, with figures like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis pulling billions from BlackRock over ESG “scams.”
Fink’s defenders call it responsible stewardship; critics, a blueprint for financial tyranny. For deeper dives, see BlackRock’s annual CEO letters or full interviews.
