Isn't it interesting how places that are dominated by people that preach equality have the most inequality. Visit LA and San Francisco sometime if you need to see it for yourself, lots of extremely rich leftists and a shitload of poor and homeless.

For more extreme examples of inequality the far left creates look to North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, China, Russia. These were the places that were supposed to have equality through communism/socialism yet turned out to have rampant poverty while the ruling class and the elitist class are wealthy.

If there's one thing I learned about the modern left is all that matters is what you say you're gonna do and what you say will happen, but the actual historical results mean absolutely nothing even if they've proven to be disastrous time and time again. It will always be different the next time around, it will finally work this time. Insanity.

People go to those states to get help, not a good argument.

My argument still stands. LA and SF has lots of extremely rich leftists and a shitload of poor and homeless. Why aren't these preachy leftists practicing their equality and wealth distribution thing? Why are they allowing all the homeless to stay that way?

"California has the highest number of unsheltered homeless.1 Nearly 69 percent of the homeless population in California is estimated to be on the street." "Unsheltered homeless are also far less likely to receive treatment for mental illness or urgent health issues."

Why aren't these filthy rich leftists building shelters to help? Instead they're buying their million dollar mansions and driving in their luxury cars, wearing designer, drinking thousand dollar wines, acting smug and smelling their own farts

I think the state secretly knows about overpopulation but can't do anything without sounding racist with their own doing. Just look at pictures from the 70's when it was 2 billion people, instead of 7 billion like now. People had all the resources in the world. Now people fight over minimum wage jobs bc we have almost 4x as many people on the same resources. A billionaire could spend all his money but it only buys resources, so he'd pay 10x as much for the same resource halfway through theoretically, could be 2x or 100x. But that means the consumers also pay 2x-100x the price. SO any product of that resource would be highly inflated.
