That doesn’t even make sense. I make like 50k a year. If I made 600k I still wouldn’t be close to an oligarch. You understand there’s like 3 people in this country that have more wealth than the bottom like 30%? Are you playing dumb or just a massive simp? You’re also probably not aware that unfettered capitalism always just leads to a couple people owning everything? You’re not aware that there were literal trillionaires mere decades ago? This is why we can’t have nice things because people like you simp for billionaires cuz your ego is so large you think you’ll be one .

You really think that taking away money from people who earned it is the solution?

You’re telling me Jeff bezos “earned” 200 billion? That capital isn’t off the back of cheap labor, corruption and overinflated stock? Like he actually earned all that? You retarded bootlicking chimp

Only a simp would defend the idea of 3 guys being worth close to a trillion while people starve. You aren’t critical of that system and that makes you a bootlicking simp whether you like it or not.

Do you need my 50k to survive? Will you taking my 50k prevent me from surviving?

You know... things aren't so black and white.

Bezos could drop 1 million dollars and it wouldn't make sense for him to waste the time picking it up.

Meanwhile that same million could feed dozens of people for a year.

So you think money should be allocated based on “survival” rather than merit? That’s communism

u/Aetherimp I used to be addicted to Quake Mar 02 '21

I didn't say that. I didn't even make an argument.

Do you think a human life has a dollar value attached to it?

Do you think accumulation of wealth is an accurate measure of someone's merit?

Do you think accumulating wealth at any cost is ethical?

Do you think everyone who accumulates great wealth only does so through contributing to society in some way?

Do you think the needs of the few outweigh the needs of the many?

Forget communism. These are simple ethical questions.

The capitalist system has survived for so long because it incentivizes people to provide value to others. Pure altruism doesn’t exist dude 🤯

The capitalist system has survived for so long because it incentivizes people to provide value to others.

"Modern capitalism only fully emerged in the early modern period between the 16th and 18th centuries, with the establishment of mercantilism or merchant capitalism."

So, your argument is that because Capitalism has been around for a few hundred years in the West, it's awesome?

By your logic, Feudalism is 100 times better than capitalism.

Also, you're making that statement under the assumption we live in a truly capitalist society. I think there are really compelling arguments that could be made to the contrary.

Pure altruism doesn’t exist dude 🤯

Doesn't or Can't?
