The funniest part is how socialists pretend they’re “anti-billionaire,” but the only billionaires they hate are the ones who earned it through voluntary trade. If you create value that millions choose to pay for, you’re the devil. But if you become a billionaire through political favor, violence, corruption or dictatorship, suddenly nobody has anything to say. You’ll hear endless rage about American entrepreneurs. But not a word about: • Hamas billionaires living in luxury while their people starve • Chinese party-approved billionaires handpicked by the state • Politician billionaires who get rich off force, not value Because the issue was never wealth. The issue is independence. They don’t hate rich people. They hate people who don’t owe them anything. Which is why they worship China. Not because socialism worked there, but because China replaced markets with political obedience. An economy run by permission slips. A billionaire class created by the state, controlled by the state and disposable at the state's command. That’s the world socialists want: Not equality. Not fairness. Just a ruling class they imagine will include them. They don’t want to abolish oligarchs. They want to be the oligarchs.
