    I did say that. Because I believe the decisionmaking power should be concentrated, but if it is necessary to increase the purchasing power of the populace, I am not against that.

    I am simply saying equality is not a value. That means whether or not society should be equal is a practical question for me and not a moral one.

    “without an incentive to gain lots of money, people won’t take risks” is not my point at all. Also, what do they even risk if they are not capitalist?

      Depends on what they end up doing. Could be time (most research), could be their health (physical or mental), could be their lives. You should try thinking a bit harder.

        I mean they are certain they will lose their time and labour, so there is no risk involved, is it?

          I literally stated that, depending on what they do, it could risk their health or lives
