I’ll look for it. I saw it in a newsarticle from my country’s region, which is pro-western, anti-israel.in theory but sending weapons nonetheless in practice kind of country.

Ok so this is the full link (in Dutch).

The last sentence of this screenshot literally translates to: researchers spoke to Israeli institutions but were not able to speak to victims directly.

That’s a semantic justification of what is, in practice, imperialism or at least, imperialism light.

The Israeli authorities didn’t let the researchers talk to any of the alleged victims personally so, yeah, there’s that.

Israeli state: “These people have been raped and coerced by Hamas!” Investigators: “can we talk to them directly?” Israeli stats: “no.”

This is a justification but still not an explanation for why China allows (or should allow) billionaires. If you take all the money above 1B Yen and transfer it to the state you also have a build up of capital to be used by the state to help the people.

Yes I understand the development of state capitalistism to build up production forces on the road to socialism. It’s still not an answer qs to why billionaires should exist.

Thanks. I’m not one for techno-optimism but maybe it has some good ideas.

It’s an arbitrary number because it’s a number people can latch on to. A billion dollars… or yen… or euro.

Yeah theory, everyone just always assumes someone needs more theory. Assumes the person hasn’t read theory. And it’s a divergence strategy: uh oh, don’t know, more theory!

What are we going to do with billionaires after the revolution comrade?

Just because they seem willing to do more than us, ans I don’t argue that thet do because they do, I can still criticize them for not taking that decision. Billionaires have no need of existing.
