Look, all I'm saying is that if it's considered unfair but optimal for people at the bottom of a society to die because they're interchangeability lowers their wages to the point they're not insulated against chance, let's extend that unfairness but optimality universally

On another, more fundamental level, politics is about trying to engineer society while outsmarting bad actors, but the only bad actors that really matter are the ones who are smarter than you.

We already have something to handle "how to play games when people are smarter than you", and it's not called politics, it's called Game Theory

Communists want to murder 100% of rich people, but that's only reasonable if all rich people contribute <=0 utility. I don't know what percent of rich people should be murdered to align incentives but I am guessing it is actually only 30% tops.

Meanwhile, the loss of incentive to accumulate wealth could be managed by giving the surviving rich people greater total aggregate control over society.

Axiomatically, nobody accumulates massive wealth because they want to buy things, otherwise they would spend the money and thus not have it. So the accumulation of massive amounts of capital is fundamentally about the externalities of capital, such as power.
