> When does your success turn you evil? There are plenty of people making $100k/year exploiting labour and/or damaging the environment. But when you're one of the ~2000 billionaires in the world you are pretty much by definition responsible for such a massively larger amount of that harm than the guy making $100k. > when the rest of the socialist/communist world is in such turmoil There are plenty of degrees of socialism that could be applied before you end up in stalinist russia. Canada is arguably more socialist than the US, is that in turmoil? Various scandinavian countries are more socialist than Canada, yet they seem to be doing alright. I'm not saying let's become communist, I'm saying: 1. force capital to respect labour by compensating it fairly 2. force capital to pay for the social and environmental damage it does 3. stop capital from using globalization to avoid doing #1 and #2 4. keep capital out of politics, so that it can't roll back #1, #2 and #3 If we did those things, you'd likely have a lot fewer billionares. Maybe none. But if there were billionaires, they wouldn't be standing on a horde of blood money like a goddamn dragon from a fantasy novel.
