You can't. Removal of one predatory opportunist class changes the relative dynamic and creates new predator opportunist classes. This is just endemic to being human. Even if you succeeded for a generation, more will be born. The only sustainable option is greater public participation in governance.

This is not true at all. This is the same rhetoric that has been used for the last 2000 years. We don’t need to compete. We succeed far greater when we cooperate & collaborate than when we compete We have the tech to treat everyone in the world equally to use their best qualities to help each other

You are conflating the arguments used to prop up capitalism with the argument that some people are born with certain tendencies baked in. What's your plan for managing with those with actual NPD? ASPD? How about the milder and ersatz forms? Do we lock them in jail forever? Throw them off a cliff?

Like, you're out here arguing for a rather eugenics-rhyming purge of everybody whose behavior doesn't vibe with your vision until you have a docile population to work with in creating utopia, belying the uncertainty of your own assertion that people are all equally and naturally collaborative.

That’s not what I said at all. You’re twisting my words… that’s what the other side does.

If you cannot learn how to behave in society and not step on everybody else, then absolutely you deserve to be in jail. That’s literally the point of jail. Have you lost your reason?

Are you saying that repeat offenders should be allowed to go free? Be pardoned? Sex traffickers, arms dealers, paedofiles, hard drug dealers? Because that’s basically what the billionaires are. You don’t get to be a billionaire or a multimillionaire by accident. They step on a great many people

We can’t do it under Capitalism which is why capitalism has turned into fascism. That’s the result of late stage capitalism. Fascism. Right now where the world is sitting at, is the beginning of WW3. Fascism vs global socialism Axis vs Allies Resist in all ways. Always resist.

My vain little hope that we make it through this, and the psychic damage from end stage capitalism forces "normal" people to start realizing how pointless machismo is.
