No, you're attempting to ignore the importance of class dynamics. Marxism is not a thing of the past, murdering the billionaires and puttinh a billionaire tax is a toothless bandaid.

You speak nothing of structure and only of outcome, which will only perpetuate said problems.

I only downvoted you because I very honestly find your rhetoric dangerously wrong.

I have nothing personal against you, but you unfortunately answered nothing of substance, so I will elect to agree to disagree, and stop wasting each other's time. ๐Ÿ™‚

Nah, you're dangerously wrong and ignoring what causes billionaires in the first place. You're not looking at things materially.

You know that repeating what you're being told verbatim isn't an argument, right? I have a hunch you're not really clear on the meaning of the word "substance"... Parroting concepts defined in books, without the actual substance from the book, or without your own interpretation, is about as useful as a page number without a title...

So far, aside from vague conceptual buzzwords, you have contributed nothing else than "I know you are, but what am I?".

So, again, let's cut short, this ain't Mario, I don't have several lives to try again. Thanks.

No, lol.

You came in saying my thinking was "dangerous and outdated" without clearly addressing why, and presented a toothless bandaid solution that would get rolled back immediately after, because you don't address the power dynamics involved.

You only want to treat symptoms but can't treat the cause.
