if i may pipe up: i think there is a "billionaire class" and that we can't really make a lot of social headway without somehow disempowering those people- if for no other reason, then because they aid and abet bigotry in order to stay billionaires

It's like that take that people who don't worship God will go on to worship men As though anytime people think they're listening to God it's not also just some guy

And as if it's somehow worse to worship someone you at least know for sure is real. I mean, don't worship anyone, obviously. But if you're gonna, worship someone who's real and that you can hold accountable.

I'm not so sure. power can be distributed fairly widely and democratically (village councils, workplace reps, etc) and still enable a tyranny of the majority even while the majority is free from the tyranny of any one individual
-
that's the whole problem with the argument that it's ok for the government to nationalise and control everything as long as it's sufficiently democratically accountable. even a platonically ideal representation of the majority shouldn't have totalitarian control
