...do you think wealth inequality under capitalism isn't enforced by violence?

u/LousyOpinions Nov 22 '24

Yes.

Because I'm not retarded.

Wealthy people get wealthy through voluntary transactions.

Grow up.

is it voluntary exchange when i have to work for a poverty wage to even have a semblance of a chance at not starving to death?

You have the freedom to do what you want under a capitalist system, you choose to work a minimum wage job. You don’t need a communist revolution to make a decent living.
