Owning class.
How much in your bank account isn't the point — it is how that money got there. It just so happens that practically nobody ever became a billionaire without the use of exploitation.
Yet, it is not just billionaires but any who make their income through exploiting their private ownership over the tools, land, and resources which make production possible that, under the capitalist system, entitles those "owners" to the excess value of labor, in the form of profits, that are generated by the working class – individuals who must sell their labor to these owners for a wage – under their employment.
There's street people that pull the same shit as these billionaires. It's all the same heartlessness. That's how the game works. The gangs, cartels, and mafias all play by the same methods.
Regular people don't play the game and that's why nothing will ever change. Regular people are basically taught not to play the game.
No, regular people play the game every day and it turns them into the same heartless bastards. That's how the game is designed to work.
People don't need to play their game. They need to stop following its rules and break the whole goddamn thing to start finally doing something different
It isn't "gangs and cartels", it is business owners, bankers, and landlords.
