I wanna punch the voice that says "but won't the homeless sleep in the bushes?"

Not sure who needs to hear this but the amount of money spent on private jets by these billionaires in 1 year could replace all our lead pipes in the USA.

Billionaires are celebrities now? Like that's true for Taylor Swift, but Bezos?

Probably because we'll all be dead, which also happens to be a solution to climate change.

Don't worry, we'll fix climate change by reflecting sunlight before it hits the Earth's surface. Of course this will eradicate most pests (and nature) but hey, problem solved!

Yeah, translating "size of their contribution" to a dollar amount is going to be inherently political. If they're leaving it open ended to let projects figure it out then that could go poorly...

It is like when racists say they’re race realists; it’s because the term “Soviet communism” isn’t that popular.

I don't see where Engels says Administration is "central planning". It certainly seemed to have been an open question for Marx when he talks romantically of the Paris Communes.

Frankly I find this view disregards the differing material conditions that are present. Social Democrats are left of what the Americas have now, just like Capitalism was to the left of having a Monarchy. Your take is a-historical, anti-materialist, and thus anti-marxist.
