Ok, I think I see what you're getting at. Billionaires constitute the capitalist class, but individual capitalists aren't the problem; it's the capitalist class that needs to be abolished
Exactly! We need to set checks in place to make sure the mega rich are not allowed to be a thing. I am sorry but nobody should be rich enough to set up space tourism as a side hobby while his employees piss in bottles at the warehouse. That's fucking insane!
Judging from your vote scores on this comment chain, its apparently very unpopular to think radically.
You know, what actually is the cause, how does cause lead to effect, we should address the cause, not the symptom, etc.
What seems to be easier is 'billionaires bad'.
But not 'how is there billionaires, why is there billionaires?'
