I don’t know how many Marxist/Dem Socialists we have on FC, but there’s a convo I want to have (rather in person but):

It’s presented by Bernie/Zoran/etc that there needs to be zero billionaires because their wealth should be redistributed.

I heard someone else say “what if everyone was a billionaire?” 

I don’t think either are going to happen exactly (no billionaires vs all billionaires), but the decision sets if you make one or the other as the GOAL is fascinating, and I’d love to have that convo with people of many different viewpoints!

If everyone became a billionaire, money would become worthless.
There are enough examples of bad governments destroying their currency 
and turning their citizens into billionaires through hyperinflation, they will become billionaires but need to burn the currency to keep warm.

I think it’s a question of costs vs. inflation. In your scenario, money hyperinflates and everything becomes unaffordable.

In my scenario, everything is affordable.

hyperinflation is the difference between reality and utopia in this case in my opinion. I understand that there is more then enough money for everyone on planet earth but an even distribution of wealth like how you mention will never become reality without hyperinflation (thus making money worthless) imo. A better world starts with yourself, if everyone would share more then we would already be on the right path

Why does it have to be hyperinflation. When I say “everyone is a billionaire,” I mean it somewhat literally and somewhat figuratively. That is to say that having more money than someone else doesn’t actually buy you much more, like it does today. The pie is so big, that everyone has what they need and more
