    We had almost full automation for 60 years in factories, where did that money go? There are leeches in society, but OP is not among the relevant ones.

      Two wrongs don’t make it right. The fact that rich people are often leeches does not change the fact that poor people can also be leeches.

        Brother. This is childish thinking. The exploitation of the rich is killing the planet, literally making it uninhabitable for all things living. One guy living off welfare is not on the same level, not by a long shot. Get a grip

          What the fuck are you even talking about? Justifying a leech sucking welfare system when he is fully capable of working just because there are other wealthy leeches is like justifying a thief stealing a car, because he didn’t rob a bank.

            It’s more like a thief stealing a pebble from the garden in front of the bank.

            People consentually drawing from the public safety net to meet their needs are entirely different from a Class based on accumulating vast amounts of wealth and power off the backs of Workers via wage slavery.

        Billionaires leech literally millions of times what a poor person leeches, and yet you’re here complaining about the poor person (who has likely already paid more in taxes than they have leeched).

          I am not “complaining” about anything. I am calling leech “a leech” because he is a leech.

            You’re still missing the point lmao. Who gives a fuck about a tiny drop of water when there’s a tidal wave coming for them.

              Yeah, who gives a fuck about a guy stealing car if there is a another one just robbing a bank. Sound thinking, Sherlock 🙄

                You’re getting there. A bank robbery is worse than a car theft, and society does put more resources into preventing bank robberies than car thefts. Maybe we should put more effort into stopping billionaires leeching billions than stopping Joe Schmoe from being on welfare.
