I try to explain myself better. In a world where most people struggle and suffer to earn money for basic goods, make sacrifices, give up a decent life and literally go out of their way to survive, don't think there is a structural problem in the economic and financial system? We know very well that the rich don't give a damn that we suffer, but isn't the time to make us feel and reclaim our worth? I mean is it possible that in 2022 there are 8 people who hold the wealth of 50% of the global population equal to about 4 billion people? I do not mean that those who have achieved these fortunes have no merit, but neither that they have achieved them without the help of anyone. How could they have achieved these billionaire fortunes if they hadn't had employees helping them reach their goals and customers buying their products? I repeat I do not feel hatred for those who have achieved these assets, but in a world where 90% of the population has various problems due to the lack of money, I lose respect if those who can but do nothing to change. The people who suffer and fight every day are the same people who work and buy products from these companies and people and for this reason I believe the time has come to create a system that leads companies and public figures to systematically share a part of theirs profits with those who help them daily to make those profits: employees and customers. Or rather all of us. I don't want to talk about charity or philanthropy, but to update the economic system with the times we are living in. We must act on the system for it to change and we have a duty to do so because all together we are more powerful than we think. Enlighten me with "optimistic" and not pessimistic ideas that say: we cannot, because it would be a lie.
Fucking genius woman
She goes through history. Even if apes like me too stupid to look at history then take the last 18 months where 40% of all money has been printed. Wooooo, Fuck...this is brilliant and bodes well for us stackers.
Her movement and reach exceeds this sub reddit and even our genius moderators reach, but we don't fight nor are we jealous we work together to speak truths. Even stupid ass Alex Jones knows the truth
Love Love Love this
Stack Stack Stack, then repeat
As far as I know, the Roman Republic's decline began with the dictatorship of Sulla, continued with the dictatorship of Caesar and famously ended with the beginning of the rule of Octavian as the first Augustus.
What these eras seem to have in common is rising inequality between the upper classes and the lower classes.
As far as I know land reform was one of the biggest political issues throughout most of this time, with people like Caesar wanting to take land from the upper classes away and give it to the lower classes. Those who were supposed to benefit the most from this policy were of course supposed to be his soldiers. Caesar was not generous because he had a good heart, but that doesn't mean that these issues weren't very important to the people. That's why Caesars tactics worked afterall.
There were of course also the Gracchi brothers with their famous plans for land reform.
Anyway, what I want to get at is that apparently inequality was so high that people were willing to support anti-democratic authoritarians if they just promised to lessen said inequality through land reform and the like.
My question then is: How correct is this? I honestly do not know a lot about Roman history. These are just a few tidbits that I picked up in various YouTube videos and such. That's why I want to know if they are true or not.
Please also point out if anything I said was wrong.
