We’re basically headed toward a dystopic authoritarian oligarchy with huge disparity. It’s gonna look like all those fictional dystopias portrayed in Elysium or Neuromancer but without all the cool tech. Yeah, we should have these social programs for people…but unless we crush the oligarchy they’ll create continuous pressure to make sure these social programs are as shitty as possible and be functionally the caricature of socialism the right wing uses for its propaganda. We’ll be second or third class citizens living in favelas or similar social housing.They won’t stop bleeding the people for more. But the thing is, if we get rid of the oligarchy we’ll not need such a huge social safety net*.

*we should have a good one anyway, but it shouldn’t be a response to the disparity created by billionaires, we should just have one by default.
