          Reminds me of a really funny reddit comment of someone trying to solve inequality: Take the richest person in the world and murder them. They would do this until people will be so afraid of having money that they’ll just give it all away, thus eventually achieving equality.

          Obviously it’s a dogshit idea that could only come from the finest brains of preddit, but it’s pretty funny to see a liberal take on communism.

            Also that’s kinda what China does already and it hasn’t really worked to close the wealth gap.

          Not once you distribute it evenly. Then there is only equality
