What is to elaborate on? 85 uber billionaires have a global monopoly on wealth. The banks and fuel companies worldwide are controlled by a very few people. Those monopolies need to be broken.
We have a plutocracy dictating the global market, it is not improving the human condition it is creating more poverty and more exploitation. The worst part is that it is keeping us on fossil fuels which is pumping out way to much CO2. Our species needs to stop this otherwise this planet won't be fit for anyone, no matter their class.
Could not have said it better.
