  How is it not?

  The rich and powerful are using their essentially bottomless pit of resources and money to influence political systems to give them even more money or resources.

  Billionaires own everything and it’s wreaking havoc on our lives.

  Capitalism gives them the tools to create the wealth disparity. Wealth = power. They have used their capital to create more, and this have gained a outsized leverage over our entire society.

  You’re not a capitalist, you’re a worker who can’t see past the ruling class’ propaganda that socialism requires totalitarianism. It ain’t true.

    Do you think there is no growing wealth disparity under socialism? Do you think an Nvidia employee is going to earn the same as a person working at a small business? People will always have tools to create wealth disparity. Even in a moneyless society people can create wealth disparity.
