Having a large amount of my future determined by the whims of self interested billionaires is rough but like at least I can imagine them to be rational actors. Some of them just aren't though. Peter Thiel has a perspective on the world so drastically removed from mine as to be nearly incomprehensible. I do not consider him to be rational and that is honestly far scarier than the bourgeois who knows exactly what they are doing and what their place is in society from a secular mechanical point of view. The idea that people like peter thiel can have that much power is intimidating. What an awful mistake it was to allow class struggle to progress to this point. If only we could have ended capitalism sooner

Billionaires are just the luckiest and most vicious petite bourgeoisie. If you want to know what a billionaire is like, try having a conversation with your local small business owners and landlords.
