Im fairly sure that even if we destroyed the rich, redistributed their assets and then went full socialist, over time money of the many would fall into the hands of the few and a new super rich class would be formed. The new rich would then use their wealth to change the laws back to capitalism.

Maybe. Only one way to find out.

but what happens when you steal all the rich money and it turns out there isnt enough to go around after all?

You wake up from that beautiful, beautiful dream with a big ol boner, Mr Speaker, and get to work making your kegger fantasies a reality.

Hi, I'm the rich. On behalf of myself and others like me, I'd like a say a few words. First, we think that this approach is misguided. There have always been rich people and there always will be. Just because we have better stuff than you doesn't mean you can't have a decent life. We don't really care either way, but it's really not up to us what happens to your life. Hell, you can make money and join us.

Here's the thing, though. Anything we give you will just lead you to demand more things. If we give you healthcare you will want basic income, affordable housing, good public transportation, improvements to public education, free college and daycare, vacations, limited working hours, etc. So we're just going to go ahead and say no right now. If you insist on going ahead with your plan to eat the rich, we will shut off payment systems and banks nationwide. We will stop all deliveries of power sources and food. Some of you are going to have enough cash on hand to feed your family for a week. Most of you won't, especially when the prices spike. I assure you that the flesh of the rich will not be sufficient to feed all of you. Then you will get to experience supply and demand first hand when a hundred people fight for the last can of beans in the supermarket they just trashed. Ever watch the walking dead? It will be kind of like that except with less food. We will be watching it live from Switzerland surrounded by an army of mercenaries.

In conclusion, you can eat some of us. The rest of us and our money will be safe far away from you. And when you're done ripping each other apart for rat meat, gasoline, and potable water, our soldiers will walk through, clean up the survivors and enslave your children. Just something to keep in mind.

Are you saying poors are like the mouse in If You Give A Mouse A Cookie?

nah man just kill them. this isn't something we're doing for enjoyment. it's a necessary duty like taking out the trash. of course you're allowed to feel satisfaction, like the contentment of knowing you maintain a clean and tidy home
