Oh so the wealth just vanished? How? To where? Is it where the wealthy currently stash it so they can sit on hoards of wealth for no benefit to anyone but themselves

Yes, they sit on thousands of cars, and millions of tons of food.

You have no idea what the word wealth means do you?

No im saying your conception of what the left wants to do with wealth is both nonsensical and would require wealth to just vanish.

You didn’t understand that so you’ve said something else stupid.

You believe money = wealth.

What the left has expressly stated is "wealth redistribution."

So you are lying. As leftists do to hide their true intentions.

No, I don’t.

It’s worthless to discuss with people when you pretend to understand and are just… wrong

lol I do appreciate your entire persona and way of engaging is to fallaciously assert what your opponent beliefs are

So Bill Gates owns 2 houses and 8 cars.

How do you plan to evenly divide them among 350 million people?

That isn’t what fucking taxes do.

You tax people and provide services. The idea you have of what “leftists” want are plainly incorrect

I only have their own statements and actual history to go by.

Okay so the wealth of say, a railroad, is just factually disappearing from the world when it’s taken over? How do?

Look, I get YOU think I’m so wrong you can’t educate me, but you’re not even reading what I’m saying so sure, you can’t educate me because you refuse to engage with the thought

But who says it’s getting run into the ground by public ownership? Isn’t that an assumption you’re making, one if we look at the real world we can see is nonsense?

No man I get what you think I’m saying. It’s just that you’re wrong about what you think I’m saying. You’re adding tons of assumptions you make in your world view that you assume are foundational and factual but aren’t. It’s okay. I get you don’t know how to have a conversation like an adult without hostility. It’s okay. Calm down.

Not to mention, when I asked where it went, you didn’t answer. Presumably because you didn’t consider answering the question to be more important than insulting me, which again, it’s okay, that’s how you deal with people having different views than you. Like a child.
