1. More billionaires are associated with less poverty.
2. Increasing billionaires per capita by ten fold lowers poverty by 43 percentage points.
3. Sweden has more billionaires per 10M people than the U.S. (34 vs 30)
4. Correlation is fairly strong (R-squared of 0.6 for two variable cross-section data)
4. Since the graph is only a correlation, what do you think is the cause?

Seamos sinceros muchachos, si Chiang Kai-shek le hubiera ganado la guerra civil a Mao, hoy China sería la primera potencia del mundo, con la economía más grande, el nivel de vida más alto y encima, el país se hubiera ahorrado 80 millones de muertos. Prefirieron cazar gorriones.

A reminder that an underrated argument for libertarianism is that you’d experience less anxiety about elections if the state had less power.

People LOSE THEIR MINDS every time Elon says HITLER was a SOCIALIST
“That’s not real socialism,” they say. “It was just in the name.”
Except Hitler kept calling himself a socialist.
The party was literally the National Socialist German Workers’ Party. Their official program called for nationalizing trusts, profit-sharing, ending “unearned income,” land reform, and putting the common good above the individual.
Once in power they ran the economy with price controls, directed production, and a 4-Year Plan that subordinated private companies to the state’s goals.
They just redefined socialism as racial solidarity instead of class war, then purged the actual leftists inside the party who took it too seriously.
That’s not a gotcha. It’s literally what they did.
And the operating system is still running:
They capture language so words only mean what the movement needs them to mean. They sort people by group identity and treat the other side as the enemy, not someone to persuade. They run purity spirals where the most extreme enforcer wins. They elevate lived experience or the anointed voice over evidence.
They demand the whole person (speech, associations, conscience) for the collective. Individual rights exist only so long as they serve the cause.
Same pattern. Different branding. That’s the case.
Learn your history people.
