socialism might be nice but just getting rid of billionaires is a great start.
Can't do that without taking supremacy of Capital. There is no path to keep billionaires from existing within Capitalism.
I think we've been doing this capitalism thing all wrong. All these issues are because we forgot to do the sacrifices.
We should be taking the top .1% of capitalist and using them to perform routine blood sacrifice rituals to appease the capitalist gods.
We then use their capital to fund a festival that last until then funds run out.
Their purity of capitalism will surely appease the gods and end all these climate change issues we've been experience.
The crazy thing is that is clearly a bad and dumb idea and yet would be an improvement of our current system. That money would actually recirculate.
Through the blood offering, their capitalist spirit will be released into the ether for The Gods to redistribute to us, their worthy followers.
We will honor these sacrifices by engraving their names in the bricks we will use to build the temple to The Gods has has been foretold in these gold tablets I found that only I can see and read.
The tablets say if we fail to follow these edicts we will be doomed to live in an ever warming planet on fewer resources as punishment. The seas will rise. The cities will burn. The rivers will flood.
For Grofit! The wise and avaricious Parvos commends you!
Erm... Ok
isn't that part of it
I would expect so. I said "but" as in, "even if we just do this and dont carry out other requirements immediately" kind of "but"
i don't think we can get rid of them without socialism
I don't know, it also seems very difficult to achieve world wide socialism. but then again it is also hard to cull people's desire to become powerful over others. there will always be those aspiring to become billionaires but yet it seems easier to motivate majority of humans to do away with billionaires then to convince them to accept socialism.
