It is not about being rich or super rich. It is about climbing the hierarchy being an exploitative act in itself. If you dream of creating your own business you will - you have to, basically by default - do this by exploiting other people on the way up. Your success and you becoming “mildly rich” is always built on the backs of others.
Edit: just to be clear, I am fully aware that in the greater scheme of things, a person earning 30k or even 300k is not the enemy of someone earning 25k. Obviously we need to get rid of pervertedly excessive wealth. Having 300k-30k-25k hating on each other distracts from the bigger problem.
But at the end of the day, and I say this with as little moral judgement as possible, as soon as one person controls another one’s salary and undercuts it for their own profit, we are in a system in which success is achieved via exploitation. And this is the case in 99.9% of work environments.
Not everyone will become and entrepreneur. Some people will always work for others. People need to put down Das Kapital and read a history book
There were times when individuals did not work for someone higher than them on a pecking order, though that model is physically not possible in an industrial society, I think.
That being said, hierarchies can be made voluntary rather than enforced by threat of violence, and I’d argue that requiring all servitude to be uncoerced would lead to a better future.
nope, and even if that was true why in the fuck should people who happen to be “more intelligent” get to exploit other people. (not even getting into how dumb the concept of “intelligence” is and how 99% of the things people consider being intelligent is just knowledge something were rich people have a gargantuan advantage). And what the fuck even is “effort” in this context no one is putting in more effort than the poorest people who do the hardest jobs where is their “mild wealth”. FUCK OFF.
