Billionaires are the result of Capitalism, change the system, no more parasitic billionaires. Also chop off their heads.
We don't have to totally change the system. They can keep making billions of dollars, we can just tax 99% of it. Maybe they'll pay their employees more, if they know it's only going to get taxed away anyhow. And if they don't, well just take it from them.
Yes this is the answer. No single persons should have this much money. Instead collectives like governments, corps and holdings should have the money. By doing so the governments are also able to control money flow and restrict unethical use cases.
But this would require governments working for the people, people voting parties that are doing stuff for them and not for corruption. Also media outlets need a proper source of independent income to that opinion is not monopolized, which is the hardest in my opinion, because how most outlets are making money is by writing emotional articles so that they are clicked.
My issue is when these people get so much money that they can start cutting personal deals with other nations that aren't in alignment with their own nation's values.
And what happens when a few trillionaires decide to form an alliance and create their own army, conquer territory, and create their own Libertarian Dream/Nightmare?
That's where you lose. Keep it vague like "eat the rich"
But I'm not into vore.
So who runs shit in utopia?
Anyone but the ones doing it for profit.
I'd be up for a technocratie

A bunch of nerds who only cared about perfection.
That way the idea can't be corrupted cause a nerd's obsession is more powerful than anything.
But what is perfection?
System version 1.7.586 is coming out tomorrow.
Still better than the bs we are all running now.
That's basically how the bureaucratic class aka. the states middle management works.
autonomous collective
