    And they can provide for them on much, much, much smaller wealths. The non ultra rich are doing it.

    Their families are already provided for for the next five generations, at least, assuming they’re all shite with money!

    With one billion dollars, I could comfortably provide for my family for ten thousand years. They’ll be fine without them

    They’ve made billions not caring for anyone else’s family. Why should anyone care about theirs?

    They could provide for hundreds of millions of families.

      Yo, I’m damn sure an anticapitalist, but the numbers are way off here. $1B split by 100M works out to $10 per family.

        You forget they’re usually multi-billionaires at this point. So could be anywhere from $10-30 per person.

    Is there a specifically anti-billionaire Lemmy community one could join?

      I feel like this is most lemmy communities? What pro-billionaire lemmy communities are there?

        Actually a more interesting question than you think. When asked “should billionaires exist?” Almost everyone on Lemmy would respond “no,” I suspect, but when asked “should we be working towards Communism?” I suspect the answer is far more mixed. Depending on your personal views, someone can say they oppose billionaires but not support actual practical methods of reducing them, just saying “increase taxes” as though they would ever let that happen.

      Hexbear.net and Lemmygrad.ml are the largest explicitly Leftist instances on Lemmy.

            Instances, not community. Lemmy.ml for example?

              Lemmy.ml, the admins have told me before, isn’t a Leftist instance. It is moderated and admin’d by Leftists, but it’s ultimately more of a testbench flagship instance, not a main instance. Hexbear is more active than Lemmy.ml as far as I know anyways.

              Also, my original comment was about instances, I misspoke when I said Community.

              Lemmygrad.ml is a Marxist-Leninist instance, I didn’t say Lemmy.ml. Hexbear.net is a left unity instance with Marxists and Anarchists alike. Unless you’re trying to say Marxism and Anarchism aren’t Left, I really don’t know what you mean here.

              Marxists and Anarchists are right-wingers? Is this a mirror reality?

                  Hexbear is made up of Marxists and Anarchists, and Lemmygrad is specifically Marxist-Leninist. You never really disuputed that, just called them “tankies,” so presumably you think Marxism and Anarchism are “tankie” and therefore right-wing.

                  Do you dispute any of that?

    This makes a nice companion to the meme that ends with the rich guy saying “fuck off” to something reasonable that involves helping other humans.
