    Bruh, its about valuing the people who work on the sewer more than the people who work at banks making money out of thin air. Its about shifting the whole paradigm of our society and focusing on what matters, I wouldn’t expect a “tory” to understand that though.

        So why do folks who speculate and gamble with more money than a plumber will see in their lifetime make so much money while providing effectively nothing of value to society?

          Good question, we should probably tax the rich and make owning more than 3 homes illegal or something.

          But if we’re canceling mortgages, then why not strive for the ideal world, ya know?

              The ideal world isn’t a realistic world unless you can solve for plumbing, etc. If the meme was tax the rich, I’d have upvoted and moved on. We should improve the world we have rather than strive for dreams.

                My guy, we have solved plumbing. You lack vision, i dont want to tax the rich, I want to abolish the system that allows the rich to exist in the first place.

                  Yes! Onward toward a USSR style system that somehow doesn’t involve forced labor, comrade!

                    Wants communism, doesn’t understand that it doesn’t solve the problem of no one wanting to clean up shit.

                    To each according to their needs from each according to their abilities, and I love how you are just going to ignore how labor is forced in a capitalist system by the threat of dying on the streets if you dont show up to work. Labor is forced in America every damn day.
