    If you get rid of the capitalist leeches, yes, you have more workers left over because there’s no more demand for yachts and other shit

    Yeah, you can’t think like that.

    The “demand for yachts” means a lot of employment in very specialised, expensive areas. That means high tax revenue. Yes, the capitalist leeches should be eliminated, but eliminating “the demand for yachts” doesn’t suddenly usher the age of prosperity, it might actually lower the tax revenue.

    But yeah, in terms of literally freeing hands to instead do plumbing, that is correct.

    Otherwise - fully agree!
