Slowly, over the course of hundreds of years, through a well-funded secret society that slowly ingratiates itself into institutions at all levels across the political spectrum all around the world. I would focus especially on international NGOs, central banks, top world universities, global media companies and missionary religious orders. The members of this secret society would stay buried in the middle of these institutions, at levels with hiring and executive power but no public visibility. Especially no top leadership positions. As new generations are brought into the society, older members give the new generation a hand up, making it much easier for them to advance and prosper. It would use front organizations to offer scholarships and fellowships to young people around the world, drawing in and indoctrinating ambitious people who would then, at least psychologically, "owe" something to this society, or at least to the front organization, if they couldn't be indoctrinated directly. After, say, the first hundred years, the oldest members of the order would start incrementally implementing policies that would appear to simply be good ideas that emerged organically, but which were actually circulated among members of the society. This also happens to be my mental model as to why obnoxious ideas like neoliberalism, or the current wave of "austerity programs", catch on around the world as if they were good.
