A billionaire friend once said to me, “My taxes are so low it’s obscene.” And he was right.https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cnbc.com/amp/2020/05/21/american-billionaires-got-434-billion-richer-during-the-pandemic.html …

All billionaires are, by definition, greedy bastards. No one in the world needs a billion dollars to live, and choosing to have those amounts of money while people die of hunger or for lack of access to healthcare, housing or education is something greedy bastards do.
There is such a thing as righteous profit & some people have made huge amounts of money righteously. The enemy isn’t those people; the enemy is the injustice of an economic & political system that in so many ways rewards them at the expense of many & fails to adequately tax them.

Bad take marianne! I'm not even a 'good' communist, but even I agree there is no righteousness in hoarding wealth!

The enemy is the system, and those who use it to become billionaires, including the ones doing it "righteously". What you just said is the blame is on the ideology and not on the people perpetuating it, which is wrong in every context: Slavery, Fascism and yes, Capitalism.

I usually have a lot of respect for what you do, and I didn't want our first interaction to go like this, but I'm very disappointed that you couldn't grasp such a simple concept we've gone over many times. Billionaires should not exist. Period.
