To anyone who supports capitalism or otherwise opposes socialism:
Do you support the idea that one man can accumulate enough wealth to own all land of this Earth, making everyone born in his empire under his rule as long as he can kill to defend it? What prevents capitalism from accomplishing this in law? What law exists that limits the borders of nations?
Why, then, must we endure a system where a single man owning the Earth and enslave it is a feature, not a bug?

I just wanna know what people think. Why must this be maintained? Why is any opposition to capping wealth just the end of the world when it probably would save it, just logically thinking it through?
“the status quo (democratic capitalism) must be maintained” got it!
I belive that what can be evolved needs to evolved and what can’t evolve needs to revolve. I suspect we disagree on which is which. But I thing we would find some common grounds as well. I welcome the disruption. But as someone who was born in one of those “people’s republic” I would prefer my revolution with less gulags.
I say we look to and learn from places like rojava before we look to those with gulags when we theorize political and economic systems.
