ok yeah so I don't think you really want to limit to 10 mil as get rid of capitalism. I do see it as being a way of having to do things but needs to be well regulated. Its the unregulated nature that allows for cheating to be the way over actually producing. In my opinion anyway.

    Yeah, I do want to get rid of capitalism, but realistically, setting wealth caps could be a way of getting there without bloody revolution. Similar to how China is using capitalism to industrialize and build socialism instead of just nationalizing everything and expecting an undeveloped populace to gracefully hold power. The Cultural Revolution proved that you can't change people overnight, it's a generational process. By having wealth caps and investing surplus value into communities, you can change worldviews by changing material conditions.

    Yeah so im not. I do think its a necessary part of human interaction and you can't have trade and buying and selling without recognizing it. and yes I have had the many people who are like oh you can still have currency and people can choose what they like but when it comes down to many things that don't matter that much the point system is kinda needed for who has the house in that particular spot or that particular way. I like a balance. I want many things socialized or nationalized. Honestly anything that is a necessity or a network which limits any real competition. So healthcare, education, utilities, and such along with basic income and such.
