That would be 100% correct and valid point.

Im not sold on this anarchist anti ownership stuff. If i understand your pov its that people exist therefore society owes them a desirable baseline standard of living in lieu of having them suffer in destitution. The concept of ownership deprives people of resources that would otherwise allow them to improve their standard of living. Do i have it right?

The libertarian YouTubers who became Trump cultists basically performed theft on their audiences. We should tax them for it.

Isn't it beautiful thing or ugly depending on how you look at it? I for one see the Capitalism as Value allocation. Yes there are models who make 300k a month by what you might think isn't "hard/productive" work. Yet the market reflects a society which values those models. There are lonely simps out there who enable those models to exist by willingness to spend their money on such things. Are they being forced to spend that money by a mandated government laws or a gun to their head?
So one can see more clearly where the value lies in our society by looking at where the money is going.

The fed reserve bank is another beast because it prints promissory value without regulation or control of the majority. There are political institutions dictatorships and communist oligarchies through physical force its population to dictate value or rather manipulate it, instead of the free market place decide where it should go.

I would rather have a say with my dollar if I can't with a vote.

That is how i see it, if the system works for 1% and exploits 99% the system is unjust and the 99% are justifiable in any efforts they make to get ahead be that theft, tax evasion or lying on a resume.
Billionaires are parasites draining the productivity of thousands for their own benefit, modern day vampires.

It's an extreme imbalance that also gets worse. We should not need to hope for more Bill Gates who decide to do philanthropy to give their wealth back (which I will give him kudos for) but rather force this distribution of wealth that has driver in mass inequality

they may be holding us back but it's hard for me to care when living standards are so high in this era of modern civilization

I dont think not starving counts as a desirable baseline. If anything I would say that's the absolute minimum.

The guy and dog living outside my local supermarket disagree, he got evicted because his landlords insurance doubled after a hailstorm and he couldn't afford a $40 per week rent hike.
