Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

The fact that people perceive the billionaires to be the problem
and not the society, and in particular the government which allowed that to happen in the first place
is, in my view, not a good starting point to effect change.
The state is of, for, and by the bourgeoisie. The fact that a bourgeois state continued to allow the gross swelling of the bourgeoisie does not itself make the state the source of the problem. The state is a symptom of the disease.
The state isn't simply an instrument of evil by evil people. It's a tool. Since people act in their own interests, those who can abuse the system to gain outsized influence over it control the tools, and wield them in their own favor.
