    What you said categorically makes no sense, but even if it did, socialism isn't about individual moral purity. That's liberalism. Socialism is a scientific a***ysis of human production and social organization that determines that, due to our interconnectedness at an advanced level of productive development coupled with the immense exploitation the arbitrary owners of these means of production inflict on the people who actually do the labor, leads to an unstable dynamic that will engender constant suffering and the endangerment of our own species and life on Earth if left unchecked. Go to church if you want a pure soul.

    You should probably take your own advice lol

    There's no advice being given there

    You're just unable to meaningfully respond to what I said because, as I and many others have pointed out, you have no idea what you're talking about outside of emotional conjecture and parasocial emotional attachment to wealthy people.

    You’re clearly tryharding to use big words and prove me wrong while contradicting yourself on more than one occasion, i think i got my point across good enough

    You’re essentially saying all people with more accumulated wealth than the norm are evil 🤣🤣

    I don't have an answer for this, but I think the question just begs more questions (all hypothetical):

    • Is a billionaire evil if he is "worth" over a billion, but the money is not liquid/is locked into shares of their own company and they live off of a meager salary and live humbly?
    • Is a billionaire evil if they are constantly distributing their wealth, but continue to quickly make it back?
    • Who is more evil? An extremely charitable billionaire (always spreading their wealth to others, doesn't exploit their workers, sets up multiple organizations for charity, has directly saved lives, personally volunteers a lot, etc) or someone who is very stingy and selfish but makes 80k a year
    • Are they perceived as evil as soon as they earn more than $999,999,999?
    • Is a multi-millionaire, or "hundred-thousandaire" who hoards their money more or less evil than a billionaire who hoards their money if they distribute the same percentage of their income to others

    I had a pretty low starting point & no happenstances you sound like the guys who got mad at Uncle Phil on Fresh Prince because he made it

    Why are you attempting to present yourself as this infallible character ? Bro let’s say you really are a millionaire who started “ from the bottom “ or , as you put it , from “ a pretty low point “ . You realize that having 50M in liquid cash still puts you closer to us peasants than a billionaire , right ? I’m not even gonna attempt to convince you you’re wrong about what you’re saying , just stop all the cap bra seriously

    imo if you treat people with respect and do right by the people in your life then you can not be an evil person. that's not to say that all billionaires are like that. i'm sure most of them suck. but the s*** that people do on a micro scale matters and i hate how this sort of revolutionary language totally disregards that for the sake of proving a political point.

    also not the point. the point is that to assign the label of "evil" to someone who does good things on a micro level is wrong. there are other words.

    Like?

    selfish, unjust, exploitative, gross, etc.

    really my only point is that calling someone an "evil person" implies that they are evil in every way. it carries a lot of weight. there are just other labels--that aren't positive either--that are more appropriate and have less pervasive connotations.
