    You’re half right.

    We absolutley and without question have the money, resources, and infrastructure to supply the world with what it needs.

    However, 90% of those resources are owned by individuals, not countries.

    In order to accumulate this wealth, they have exploited millions, usually through government bribes, or capturing entire political parties outright.

    Now that sharing their hoarded wealth is essential for human survival, they are choosing to disrupt any conversation about it. Socialism and the “left” way of thinking - to provide resources where they are best needed - is dangerous to their wealth, so they’ve spent millions on preserving it at the cost of preserving humanity.

    That’s what you’re seeing across the globe. Selfish narcissists that care more about themselves than humanity.

      I agree. The problem is not all the resources but control. With renewables, public transportation, bicycles, and plant based diets, we could sustain everyone without manufactured scarcity. But that is vilified as socialism, as if that is a bad thing. The means exist, but the system keeps a few in control even at the cost of collapse.
