This board loves the rich if they work on wall street or a ceo of a major corporation but hates a 20 year old if he make money off his athletic ability

I don’t hate the rich but I do think “the rich” could do more to help our decaying society. I also think money is the root of most evils. I also think they are more worried about themselves than the society, which is normal, but I can’t imagine having more money than me or my grandkids could ever possibly spend and then still desiring more.

I don’t hate the rich but I might sort of hate the very elite 1% (or .5% or .1%. Whatever)

I think it is pretty hard to ethically build a billion dollars.

Actually dumb libs do hate them because they think they aren’t paying their “fair share” (btw - what is a fair share of somebody else’s money? )

But who cares what dumb libs think anyways

Not a huge fan of Jeff Bezos but AWS has made him a mint and has allowed a lot of folks leave their perpetually binding hellacious contracts with IBM.

I'm not sure, I've never read his work, much like >99% of people under 40

it would be easier if you just told me what Marx came up with that was a breakthrough in communist thinking that noone before him had came up with

I don't use iphone. can you just tell me what it is that Marx did that differentiated his version of socialism from others? or was it just better branding?

No idea.

I’ve always admired them and had a strong hatred for the poor.

So then, if you know of communism/socialism then you’re familiar with his teachings.

i'm familiar with the gist of socialism and communism, no idea what spin Marx put on it that differs from Sir Thomas More or Victor d'Hupay or Restif de la Bretonne

is it all the exact same thing? or is his version a specific system?

I'm also familiar with Capitalism but not the teachings of Adam Smith

When did this sentiment start and why does the media push this narrative? Isn't the ultimate goal in life to achieve and excel to a higher standard and with that you are rewarded? I don't know how things got so backward. Pocket watching is a sickness. Get yo paper mayne!

It's a way to hold people down, if you can convince someone that the "rich" are bad, then those people will never strive to be the "rich" and will stay on the tit for their whole lives.

It's really pathetic that people do this to themselves.
