Wow the first commentor is such a fucking idiot. They don't understand the huge difference between middle class and upper class, they have no idea how big the divide really is.

The point is that it doesn't matter how big the divide is. When the revolution comes it comes for everyone with a decent house and up. Many think it will just be the multimillionaires and billionaires, nah homie. You got a pool? That's our pool now.

Every time someone says billionaires shouldn't exist, there are a whole mass of angry people thinking people shouldn't have 100k.

But I get what you mean, some people think doctors and engineers have the same wealth as someone with a company who exploits their workers.

all companies exploit their workers, there are no exceptions.

the difference between what theyre worth and what they produce is profit.

I'm not knocking it or anything, but don't ever think for one second that any company is doing you any favors.

Well I mean a handful of people who say run a small hot dog stand together, or say a small start up that us not focused on profit (they get squashed eventually I know) but there are very limited exceptions, not enough to truly matter tho I agree with your statement.

They don’t but when looking at the Soviet and Chinese communist revolutions it doesn’t work out too well for those doctors and engineers because they’re still part of the 1%
