    I’m of the opinion that that doesn’t go far enough

    We need to put hard limits on personal wealth (and the wealth of companies too). After 10 million networth in wealth, all your income should go to taxes 100% until you’re below that limit… something similar should exist for companies

    Same goes for power and fame. I don’t want or need a president, or a CEO that directs billions of dollars

    Keep everything small, keep everyone small. Mega projects can still be done by multiple companies together, for example

    End the rich!

    This will also face criticism of normal people, and that kind of is the point.

    If you put up messages like these, then automatically call valid criticism mysogenistic, then you can’t call yourself the good guy/gal anymore

    This is like politicians making some bullshit argument about protecting kids from abuse and anyone trying to give criticism automatically is in the “are you a pedophile, then?” camp.

    If you have an argument to make, make a valid one and keep your auto judgement system off.


  • according to a report that argues global inequality has reached such extremes that ugrgent action ha.cms become essential.

    I guarantee you that that 0.001% agrees, there are too many of them, that should be 0.00001% instead

    Fuck the rich!

    I call for hard limits on personal networth and the worth of companies

    No single person should be able to control more than 10M, companies shouldn’t be worth over 1 billion

    Anything over that, goes to taxes.

    It’s a single basic rule that requires more rules below for sure to ensure it works well, but this should be codified in a world wide constitution.

    This way, nobody gets crazy amounts of money, nobody will have to be poor because the government will have a huge income that it can use for universal healthcare, education, universal basic income, etc…

    Crime would go down the drain because nobody NEEDS to be a criminal anymore. There will still be a few anti social elements but good luck finding people wanting that life if they can just have a good, safe, and happy life.

    Bribery and corruption? How even, and why take the risk?

    There is no logical reason why anyone should have to be allowed to control this much wealth.

    Investment companies must all be dismantled and all their funds transferred to independent non profit organisations that, again, won’t be able to control more than over a billion. Government can transfer money to these foundations so that loads of people can have investments for startups or whatnot

    We’d need similar simple rules for governments too. All governments must be democracies, and all should follow a world constitution where we have a few basic rules that make sure nobody will ever get too much power.

    It doesn’t require a lot of changes at the top. Basically these three rules, all the rest flows out of those rules. We can keep capitalism and use it’s raw power to generate resources for everyone.

    What this needs is political will, this needs people to want this, need this.
