Kromlech posted:theoretical utopia could potentially collapse, so we might as well not build it. Far better to remain content with our current dystopia that absolutely IS collapsing right now and also that science is screaming will doom the planet inside a century. Wealth inequalities are inherently unfair because wealth translates directly into power. It IS possible to have a society in which wealth gaps are wiped out, while still retaining some income gaps if that's what people think is fair - but they'll intentionally pretend that there's no difference between wealth and income.

The baubles and vacations of the Rich Kids Of Instagram and other such visible displays of wealth are a rounding error in their parent's fortunes.
