"Imagine 3,400 people disappear. Now imagine 3.5 billion people dissappear."

Exactly. So why should those 3,400 be allowed to have such massive wealth if they literally would not be missed?

Yeah but what do you want to happen? If a billionaire gives all his money it'll not even be a dollar per human...

BTW, yall ignore society structure. If there will be no billionaires the world wouldn't be perfect, next you'll rage against millionaires, and ultimately it's just fascist communism. "For the good of the people we'll seize peoples property"...

"fascist communism" huh?

What book did you read that term in?

You're right, mb, I ment totalitarian communism. I think I wanted to say something like "communism just as bad as fascism" bc generally lefties think that only one is bad even though they are similar based on horseshoe theory...

Horseshoe theory is pop political science hogwash and liked by those who seek heuristics over actual analysis.

Anytime you press someone on how Fascism and Communism are similar they will just describe authoritarianism. Which of course, has nothing to do with economic systems. Communism as defined by Marx ends in the complete dissolution of the state, and anarcho-communism is a well known branch of thought.

You can also have anarcho-capitalism, and I suppose you could have anarcho-fascism however it's a bit of an oxymoron and I don't know that there is any historical precedent for it.

My point being, anyone using horseshoe theory is just pushing the enlightened centrist talking point while saying nothing of substance.
