Yeah, so this is the part where the market regulates itself? Y'know, the part where ultra billionaires just dump money by the boatloads to buy up stuff that everyone needs?

Capitalism will ONLY work if we put hard caps on how much wealth a single person can hoard. Billionaires shouldn't exist. Millionaires shouldn't exist. There is no need for them and there is no human right somewhere that says that you really van become one.

Any wealth over 1 million should be taxed 100%, doesn't matter the country.

With that, we can say goodbye to hundreds of problems that plague the world, including this one

This platform is so incredibly out of touch with reality, especially the more left leaning side of things.

A millionaire these days just means you've paid off your mortgage and have a decent amount put away for retirement.

Marx himself wrote this long ass book explaining the capitalism of his time, yet modern leftist have no interest understanding the capitalism of their time.

I don't remember it being that big of a book.

I think all volumes of capital combined are like 1000 pages?

You're probably right. I last read part of it for a class about 35 years ago, and I no longer trust my memory anyways.

There's a lot they don't understand, to be honest.
