To anyone who supports capitalism or otherwise opposes socialism:
Do you support the idea that one man can accumulate enough wealth to own all land of this Earth, making everyone born in his empire under his rule as long as he can kill to defend it? What prevents capitalism from accomplishing this in law? What law exists that limits the borders of nations?
Why, then, must we endure a system where a single man owning the Earth and enslave it is a feature, not a bug?

I just wanna know what people think. Why must this be maintained? Why is any opposition to capping wealth just the end of the world when it probably would save it, just logically thinking it through?
I highly recommend you read up on history. For most of humanity’s existence we lived in small relatively egalitarian groups were people depended on each other for survival.
Your “always” is a very recent state of afairs and also not universally true even today.
Not only is it recent, it can also flip back relatively easily. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Paradise_Built_in_Hell
This looks really cool! Thanks.
Reminds me of the books by Rutger Breghman like Humankind
Thanks for the link to that book, it looks super interesting.
