    Attacking the rich is not envy. It is self defense. The hoarding of wealth is the cause of poverty. The rich aren’t just indifferent to poverty, they create and maintain it.

    Of course. It is an effective way to always have a huge basin of people desperate for work which you can then brutally underpay and exploit. And here’s the fun part: If you underpay them enough they won’t even be able to pursue better working conditions!

    The US never moved on from their slave based economy mentality. They just replaced black people with poor people (who also happen to be overrepresentatingly black).

      The only real scarcity I want to see is scarse lineups at the Rich people guillotine, because we’re done. Lots of work to be done before that is accomplished.

      Of course there is no need to use the guillotine because they voluntarily contribute their unimaginable wealth to helping the rest of us.
