there's really only one way to address wealth inequality and it's simple

take the money away from the people who have too much.

don't listen to their whining, their excuses.

they look at this sort of talk as biting the hand that feeds them because by their ideology, they're the hand that feeds (even though if you notice, they're the hand that takes).

but by their own ideology, they're failing to feed people.

so since they've failed, it's straightforward. if you have assets valued at above a cool million, you lose those assets and they become distributed and a new round begins.

there really isn't any other way this ends that's legal to speak about.

You act as though wealth inequality is a problem, rather than an inevitable result of any system where people are both free to make material choices and free to keep what they own as a result of said choices.

>Failing to feed people

Have you seen the obesity rates? Do you know what a food stamp is?

People are being fed so much it's arguably become a problem.

as an inevitable result of capitalism, we're not obligated to mindlessly avoid confiscating the wealthy's goods when they're traitors to the state

the problem with wealth inequality is it creates a class that thinks it's above the state

so the state has to make real clear

the state creates money

so the people can do things

and if the people are bad at doing things because they got too much money

that needs to end

none of this mindless capitalist slop

What treason has been committed to such an extent that it justifies LARPing as Sulla?

The State should be a just arbiter, not a slavedriving master. If I wanted a master I would just go join the GOP and yell about how Trump should be dictator and that he should seize the "woke corporations" or some nonsense like that.

the state creates money

so the people can do things

No, the State creates money as a third thing to exchange in a given deal that everyone will accept, and a mutual measure of value. It's so the people can trade things, store wealth, and so the State can print it to fund itself.

and if the people are bad at doing things because they got too much money

If there's not enough supply compared to demand due to them being bad at doing things, that would correct itself.

What treason has been committed

if you're more interested in fleeing to a bunker in New Zealand then you're not motivated to keep your country running

The State should be a just arbiter, not a slavedriving master.

the frick? the state only cares about being a just arbiter to the extent that we can force it to be one, and we are all unwitting slaves to the state because that is our nature

so the State can print it to fund itself.

and those who dispense with that money are fulfilling the organ of the State

If there's not enough supply compared to demand due to them being bad at doing things, that would correct itself.

yeah and we're the fricking correction

you can buy into the ideological apparatus of the rich people in order to prevent giving the system the correction it needs, but

then you're a bootlicker

I can guarantee you that no billionaire would prefer a New Zealand bunker to a mansion. If they flee, it's because there's a problem they can't solve and they're attempting self-preservation, which any sane person would do in their position.

the frick? the state only cares about being a just arbiter to the extent that we can force it to be one, and we are all unwitting slaves to the state because that is our nature

Notice I said should be, i.e. we should force it to as much as possible.

Also our nature being a state of slavery to the State is contradicted by any class that attains the power to do so putting themselves above it in your view.

yeah and we're the fricking correction

The correction is inflation not giving more money to said hypothetical nonproductive populations.

I say what I say because I am right and it leads to the best result possible.

then you're a bootlicker

There will always be a ruling class, everyone licks a proverbial boot at some point, knowingly or not, and willingly or not.

I just see better outcomes from CEOs than Commissars and more justice from Presidents than CPSU Politburos.

it's because there's a problem they can't solve and they're attempting self-preservation, which any sane person would do in their position.

and they have options to defect from the state which creates their money which they just shouldn't have.

no money is slave to money. any time you are talking to a rich person you are talking to a meat suit

The correction is inflation not giving more money to said hypothetical nonproductive populations.

but rich people suffer from the delusion that they're the productive population when they're really just an allocation system for the state.

There will always be a ruling class, everyone licks a proverbial boot at some point, knowingly or not, and willingly or not.

yeah but that ruling class must actually rule and not run away to bunkers when things get hard.

see an old time King had to share in the trouble of his people. the ruler had a hard job and people understood that. nowadays the ruling class wants to have the benefits without the responsibility.

I just see better outcomes from CEOs than Commissars

CEOs aren't the problem, the problem is just some people having absurdly more wealth than others.

like if Bezos is so fricking awesome why does amazon kinda suck? If capitalism is so good why is Google arguing with a straight face that their practices aren't anti-competitive? it's like we're stuck with the ills of fricking communism because no one dare touch the Party. we essentially have the same problem communism has: oligarchy. we're lucky we haven't collapsed into a dictatorship yet.

The methods and rhetoric are the same regardless of the stated goal of defending capital or abolishing it.

Canada also has plenty of oil, so my idea remains viable.

We could also always ramp up nuclear production as well. The rest of the world might burn but as long as you don't live in Phoenix or LA or something we'll pull through.

under the neoliberal world order annexing Canada has already been done, in effect. that's the point of capitalism after all.

Dude you're way too online

No I'm saying that the fact that you spend your time making stupid gender confusion jokes is a preoccupation with queer identity that I don't think most people have. Why are you so preoccupied with gender identity? Because you're not owning the libs, you're just living permanently in a weird fictitious argument that doesn't matter.

Even the people who have been outraged at being misgendered have let go of it. You're still holding onto it. What gives?

The united states food supply is very secure, the bread basket at worst will move slightly while remaining in us territory.
