If it hasn't collapsed with a few hundred people having more money than the rest of the entire world while also using it for selfish motives, I doubt it would collapse with a fairer distribution. But capitalism shills gotta shill

You know which countries are most "equal"? Poor African countries where people can't even afford fresh water.

There are many problems with this argument; but it's 11pm and I'm sleepy, so have the first one that came to mind.

Those countries don't have a lot of wealth per capita to begin with, so it's not a goddamned equal comparison.

Sleepy or not, but equality doesn't mean crap.

Do you know which one was more equal? USA in the 50s and 60s, when the tax rate for rich people ranged from 70% up to 92%. A time period where regular people could also afford to live comfortably (family and house included) with a regular job.

Sorry, your arguments are just bad and only show your ignorance.
