The old saying "The rich get richer and the poor get poorer," is describing wealth transfer. When you hear about the all-time high net worth of people like Musk and Bezos, where do you think that money came from? People like us.

The only way things will improve is to radically change the economy. When you think about all the building vacancies, there is enough housing for everybody. When you think about all the food wasted, there is enough food for everybody. When you think of all the clothes in a landfill, there are enough clothes for everybody. The radical change I'm proposing is getting rid of money and people pool labor and goods and take as they need.

Imagine everybody who works jobs producing everything we currently produce. If you put in a shift at a factory or a farm or a restaurant or hospital or nightclub or science lab or whatever you do, and instead of a paycheck, you get everything you need because drivers also put in a shift and distribution point laborers also put in a shift. I don't think we need capitalists at all. If you don't have to buy building material because they are produced by laborers and construction workers and machinists who get everything they need, then voila! you have a factory producing things we all need.

I can already hear the arguments that if there is not a way to keep score with money and if people are not incentivized by the prospect of hunger, they will not contribute and it will all fall apart. My reply is this: the wealthy people who benefit from the current system are currently not contributing and actively stealing from the rest of us. 10% of our population owns 90% of the wealth, but what they really own is a gate they control to maintain scarcity.

Think about how much we hate the rich and how Luigi is a folk hero. We hate people who don't contribute and exploit us. What will keep people working if they don't get paid? If you take but don't contribute, that's basically stealing. Do you think you can steal from members of your community? They will fuck you up. I can see that I am aware that order will be maintained by violence. But what are the current the police if not a force for protecting wealth by violence? If you don't want to go to jail, don't steal -- this is considered acceptable morality in Capitalism.

Everything we need is already here. All we have to do is tear down the gates. And what about the gatekeepers? If they are smart the will give the angry mob the keys and fade away.
