I disagree. I believe that billionaires control the world. It is their attitude that is pervasive throughout government that allows the hunger to continue. Not to mention the number of uber rich people in the various governments, riding around in limousines while their people starve.

Also capitalism requires a large body of poor people to support it. Those cheap T-shirts aren’t made by highly paid labor. And who benefits most from capitalism?

I can probably come up with numerous other connections between the ultra rich and the state of poverty.

My [sister/brother/other] in [insert deity] have you forgotten that in almost every place on the globe food is purchased with money? And that money is also how you buy politicians? One billionaire absolutely could solve hunger through a combination of direct donation and political spending.

I think it’s like a mixture of both. There’s like a relationship between the two, you know? I feel like your contribution is necessary though. Like, what is money? But the physical representation of our collective endeavors. The state takes away our autonomy and gets us the chase after money. When money can no longer buy things, the state uses its monopoly of violence to keep us all in order. It’s all just like a control structure.
