Super cute and interactive model of how wealth-inequality is a fundamental part of markets.

Given that, fundamentally, money=power, this is why I believe that the only form of government/state that is viable long-term, is a state rooted in the principled stance *against* the power of Capital, that serves the interests of humanity.
This is also why I’m not an anarchist, as communalism and mutualism will not effectively prevent Capital from again seizing all power.
Also, this is *no* reason to abandon the amazing power of markets, they are an immensely powerful tool! They just need to serve humanity.
(whispers: yep I’m a communist! ❤️)
@fansipans I can't think of any time where I was randomly paired up with a person and we then flipped a coin to determine who would get a money transfer. This doesn't seem reflective of how markets work.
