Now you know why redistribution won't happpen. The fucking tankies won't be happy with limiting redistribution to the nation. They don't want national, they want international socialism.
In that scenario, it's better to keep going as before. Whatever people have now, the ones who can implement the change have more than 55,412 USD.

Tankies are fascist worshippers who claim to also hate capitalism. They LIKE brownshirts
