Should we allow one, both, or none?

I honestly hope so. Until that day, we do not know. Hopefully, you will set the example

This reads to me like you're assuming I'd be a class traitor until proven otherwise, and I don't like that.

I so deeply despise the use of "class" as if it as any meaning or use besides forcibly dividing people into societal boxes.

Until proven otherwise, you will strictly adhere to your principles and ideals. Like or not, is up to you. I don't exist to gain your unwavering approval.

Shit. I am? Why?

Sorry, it sounded like you were defending billionaires as if they actually earned their wealth. I'm glad to be wrong, but you do continue to sound like a liberal

I risk we do not share the same understanding of what being liberal entails. I consider myself a liberal individual. But being politically liberal seems to be a charged connotation nowadays.

It's easy to just shout out loud, when everyone else already is as well

Why do you assume I didnt start until it became trendy? I quit Facebook and Amazon a decade ago, and have been consistently putting my freedom and safety on the line in furtherance of my leftist values for just as long.

Quit FB I don't even remember when and I have a serious distrust towards Amazon.

I can't disagree on that.

So you're not arguing that the upper class isn't evil, you were just under the assumption that I'm an all-talk idealist or something?

I can't disagree that multi-million/billion/trillion fortunes should be dissipated and returned fully into the economic and social fabric. You still may be. I don't know you.

Even Marx was a man of his time: his daughters were educated to play the piano, draw and sing, like any middle class girl of the time. While at the same time, his work heavily criticized society and social norms has it stood.

It's a tall price to pay to truly embody an ideal.

Unfortunately, at the moment, very far from being attainable

I'm gonna keep doing praxis anyway.

Keep on that trail.
