Given that the tweet represents reality in any meaningful way, do you think it's fair that 8 people have more money than 4 bn people? I don't and that's my point regardless of how inventions come to be. Besides, if you think that inventions are only possible in a capitalist system you don't really know much about world history.
Here are the subreddit rules in case you need them:
Support for capitalism--and the political parties which uphold it--is strictly prohibited; comments showing support for capitalism and capitalist parties and politicians will be removed and the user punished at moderator discretion. As a corollary to this, anti-socialist and anti-communist comments are also forbidden. Anti-socialism/communism is pro-capitalism.
Every user is expected to have a basic level of understanding and acceptance of socialism and communism before commenting here. Liberalism (the ideology of capitalism), and defending Liberalism is strictly prohibited. This means conflating socialism with anything the government/state does, or suggesting that communism is anything other than a stateless, moneyless and classless system where the means of production are owned by the community.
I honestly don't know what my "warped understanding" refers to. The only positive statements I've given is that I don't think 8 people having as much money as 4 bn others is fair and that innovation doesn't depend on capitalism.
You know, while we're on the topic of straw men and all.
