I agree. Wanting it to exist is bad and believing it does exist is also bad.

Private property is a moral principle that can exist without a state. And I never argued it was natural, so I'm not sure why you brought it up.

All you need for inequality is for one guy to have resources to bargain for the loyalty of at least one other guy.

I imagine the whole idea of "mine, mine, mine" is so pervasive throughout human history/pre-history that your (possible) ideas of abolishing it are laughable. People want ****. People have a habit of figuring out how to get ****. It's how we figured out how to use sticks to get ants out of anthills for food. Lo and behold we have Wallstreet.

Democracy is perfectly suitable for taking ants from anthills. (Are we talking about direct, communist democracy btw?)

Haves keep setting up the world so they keep getting.

Have nots don't really have a say in the matter at the end of the day.

It's very simple, and has been for centuries all over the planet.

Outraged idealism doesn't count for jack ****, never has, and never will.
