      Socialism is not about wealth inequality. Socialism is about control of the means of production.

      “Chinese billionaires are just really well paid proletarians” said no one sane ever.

      Oh, you’re closer to reality than I imagined. Ok, so the billionaires are receiving billions of dollars with whose means of production?

          Workers who own the means opt to force billions in wealth they generated upon these unfortunate individuals who must act as lightning rods for criticism. Instead of distributing it amongst themselves or spending on infrastructure. Very realistic perspective, thank you.
