In a society with total equality, is everyone rich, or is everyone poor? What is rich and poor if everyone is the same?

@realcaseyrollins being rich just means you cn get other people to do a lot of work "for" you. Without people "doing it", youre not rich. You only own what you produce yourself

@igel What if you're like, a rapper who makes all his beats and all his music videos? I thought being rich is a class, and classes are inheritly born out of inequality

I'm not one of those equality for the sake of equality stans either. Inequality to a certain extent is actually an indicator of a well functioning society and its oppression or lack thereof. Just saying, you can't make everyone literally the same and say you're making everyone rich. There will be no such thing as rich.

@igel There is no rich without the poor, and their is neither without inequality.

@realcaseyrollins he can buy with his money the services of people who do not earn as much as he does, or theyd ask for more money. If the target audience of the product is rich rappers, it wont be cheap for him. If everyone is rich. Nobody is rich.
@realcaseyrollins it basically would jsut make the money worthless
@realcaseyrollins btw this also means socialism can literally only work under tankie-style communism where you force people to do certain jobs lol
left libs are really silly.
