    Your ignorance is showing.

    This is a typical price for housing in NYC, because of predatory real estate practices driven by hedge funds like Blackrock.

    You can be financially successful in a capitalist society and still be a socialist. You can acknowledge that whatever wealth you’ve accumulated was the result of exploitation, good fortune, outside help via infrastructure and the support of others. Many socialists are educated intelligentsia who see through the illusion and use their resources to fight for human rights.

    And living in a 1.5 million-dollar house is a tiny drop in the bucket compared to the wealth the Epstein class has accumulated.

      Yep. You have to live in the world as it is, even as you try to make a better one.

      Karl Marx played the stockmarket and Engels was a factory owner. So what?
