What I'm trying to say is that while I don't approve of the use of force, one should not brush of the inequality as a non issue. Imagine immense ghettoization with just a few extremely wealthy and almost no middle class, yes one could argue that it is better than communism, but what we are talking about is whether it is a fortunate situation or not. In fact wealth disparities that big, make it hard for anyone to change their wealth position and these conditions are ripe breeding grounds for revolution.
Too much imagining too little reality.

I don't need to imagine, I can see it in every communist country in history, ever.

And the fact that people use this as an argument for pushing communist agenda is absurd. You are stoking fear to attack the only thing that prevents what you claim to fear.

IT IS COMMUNISM. You are insisting that capitalism IS communism.

This isn't wealth disparity, its freedom disparity.
