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 even have a word for it, if workers earn more than the average: Labor aristocracy.

What is this obsession with the term "tankies" on Lemmy nowadays? Fled here from Reddit because it had turned into a quagmire of American politics, rage and misery. The others fleeing seem to have brought it with them.
The creator of Lemmy is a tankie. Lemmy.ml is full of tankie losers.
People who unironically think the DPRK is a successful nation.
It's not hard to detect your animosity towards tankies, I'd venture to say you identify them as enemies. Question is: What are your criteria for someone else to be defined as what you call a "tankie loser"? Have those criteria gradually narrowed over the years?
What are you some tankie loser?
There is nothing acceptable about their ideology, just like Nazis but on the “leftist” spectrum.
Anybody that supports the DPRK as a successful nation is a fucking moron. Period.
And what you're doing there is often called red-tagging; baselessly accusing whichever person is disagreeing with you or being inconvenient of being a communist in order to "win the argument". Common practice in places with either authoritarian rule or corrupted democracies, such as the US and the Philippines. A very poor strategy, though - it only reveals that you have nothing to show.
lol tankie loser
Mindless troll
