    It’s easier to imagine the end of the world than it is to imagine a world without capitalism.

    We don’t give their heirs wealth my dude. It’s a revolution. You round up the ruling class and seize their wealth and give it back to the masses that produced it.

    I know “that’ll never happen”. Said every person throughout history just before a revolution.

      also - rich people being scared of the masses and consequences will likely contribute to them well-behaving

      The wealth redistribution wouldn’t solve this particular problem though. If the ecological footprint of a quadrillionaire’s wealth is giant spaceships, mega yachts, private jets, data centers and fuel for all of it then it doesn’t matter who owns them. The ecological damage will always happen unless that wealth is disposed of or massively downcycled.
