we do not have the perfect society where massive wealth cannot influence lots of people in lots of different ways. I’d be for ancapistan or communism if I thought people were interested or able to thrive in those situations too etc.

No we dont… which is why you shouldnt try to fix it by doing one of the most harmful things we can do: destroy wealth generators and push everyone to extreme poverty and starvation.

Its not like taking all their resources would be easy, there is a reason communist countries had uprisings by the people demanding capitalism. So you have two difficult tasks ahead, you can steal everyones money and cause massive harm to society, or take the equally hard route and try to fix our governments and people so they have values and integrity. While neither is easy at least the latter actually results in a healthier better society, rather than actively trying to make things worse by identifying the root of a problem and then addressing a symptom instead.

you should care whether it’s a billionaire or 100k middle class dudes. because wanting to do evil is rarely the problem. it’s not understanding other perspectives and not having to compromise. that’s the danger of billionaires in a democracy.

I see you have never gotten to know a billionaire. Many understand others perspectives rather well, in fact, its kinda a prerequisite to see success in most business (cant sell shit to people if you dont understand their points of view). As for not needing to compromise, tell that to must, he took a no-compromise approach as of late and his fortune has crashed directly as a result (and if he keeps it up he will loose it all eventually).
