Billionaires should not exist, by any means necessary.
Well, not by any means. The correct path is to work towards erasing the foundations for their existence. Killing all billionaires won't solve the problem, but working towards Socialism will.
But socialism creates a Person that is much bigger than a Billionare. Dictatorship and other forms
No? What are you talking about?
Socialism is about who owns and operates the company, the workers themselves. That way their surplus labor value isn't being stolen by some lazy douche who doesn't do the work.
@fyzzlefry @Confidant6198 I think that if their wealth and power can be controlled and limited somehow its mostly fine but the danger comes when their power gets out of hand and they go insane. I'm more chill with Bill Gates than musk is what I'm saying
He prioritized vaccine patents over broad access
It's still the result of robbing the working class, and concentrated wealth like that is bad for everyone (even the billionaires).
Gates is worse
