Sure would be nice if surplus belonged to the working classes to direct towards advancing production, better social safety nets, and reducing working hours while advancing scientifically and developmentally, rather than being directed primarily towards a few wealthy capitalists.

    That’s completely unreasonable, if we did that then oligarchs wouldn’t be able to have different yachts for every day of the week or buy elections. Who are we to ask them to give up the necessities of their lives?

    if only it were just yachts; the epstein files shows what they actually use the money for and it makes we wish i hadn't looked at them.

    just the continuation of the monied monarchy. we have the solution.

    Nature created neither servant nor master;

    I seek neither to rule nor to serve.

    And its hands would weave the entrails of the priest,

    For the lack of a cord with which to strangle kings.
