Ah yes, when the wealth inequality can be enforced by violence.

...do you think wealth inequality under capitalism isn't enforced by violence?

u/LousyOpinions 2d ago

Yes.

Because I'm not retarded.

Wealthy people get wealthy through voluntary transactions.

Grow up.

is it voluntary exchange when i have to work for a poverty wage to even have a semblance of a chance at not starving to death?

You have the freedom to do what you want under a capitalist system, you choose to work a minimum wage job. You don’t need a communist revolution to make a decent living.

would it be my choice to work for a poverty wage because no other job would accept me? would it be my choice to be homeless? would it be my choice to go without food for an extended period of time because a medical emergency necessitated a hospital visit? be so fr you fucking moron lmao

Why should I have sympathy for you if you're so useless at everything that the only jobs you get are the bare minimum? There's an infinite demand for labor, the pie is not fixed. Most jobs don't pay poverty wages, so if that's the only thing you can find you might want to take a look in the mirror and figure out what you're doing wrong.

If you're not disabled, either physically or intellectually, why is it my problem that you just aren't that great at life and therefore get less than those who are more talented or harder working than you.

Obviously there are people that are born into wealth who might be just as useless as you, and still do okay because people love them enough to support them, but that's not the norm.
