@freemo I don't agree with you in the slightest. Asking what billionaires have to do with capitalism and acting as though capitalism isn't a massive problem is immediately suspect.

@freemo Nobody ever said that only capitalism produces billionaires. You're setting up a strawman.

And capitalism IS concentrating vast amounts of wealth into a small percentage. Economic inequality in the U.S. UNDER A DEREGULATED MARKET is the worse it has been.

Finally, socialism and communism are not synonymous. Don't play the game of starting the convo with some claim about socialism and then suddenly change the topic in midstream to communism.

@freemo Spare me the link. I'm aware that Stalin is counted among the wealthiest people. But unlike you I'm aware that this is a qualified statement.

But you are plainly trying to make a contrarian argument here to defend capitalism for some bizarre reason. "What do billionaires have to do with capitalism" is a transparently obtuse question.

@freemo @GrimmReality Capitalism has MANY more billionaires than socialism. WTF are you even talk about? And excuse me, billionaires aren't in charge under capitalism??? Since when???

Haven’t been here 24 hours yet and the fighting has already started. Can I go home now?
