How easy it would be to take over millionaires' estates and use them for the common good--- to be schools, homeless shelters and battered women shelters etc. instead of what they currently are: a pig sty for the glorification of capital.

You could try posting this in Opposing Idealogies, but just like in real life they'll probablly ignore it.

indeed, approx 30,000 people a night die from starvation in the world, its not a big sum in terms of population, but to die of starvation is a long painfull process,

when i am skint i survive on one meal a day, costing max of a £5 usually less, a if one meal cost a fiver, bill gates house is worth, 8,million meals alone

Oh no, because then the rich won't be able to 'use their capital for the good of society' and taking it off them would 'be genocide.'
Cappie's arguments really piss me off too...

If anything these pictures of starving children foretell of future bloodshed and terror. I hate with all my being the economic/political/cultural system in place in the "civilized world" now.

We live in a dynamic world. The failures of capitalism will not burden us forever.
It is up to us, and those that see the world in the way we see it, to bring change for the better, no matter what the short term cost.
