    But isn’t the problem rather that people can be easily convinced to vote against their self-interest? It seems the people at large are not selfish enough, and the rich are too selfish?

    In other words, the problem is that those that don’t have, don’t want to have strongly enough, and those that already have, want to have too much. As an overarching group, not individually, of course.

      It’s that those who don’t have can be easily convinced to (attempt to) have at the expense of their fellow have-nots than to unite against the haves.

        Thou speaketh the truth. I wonder if there is some way to convince people not to listen to the siren song of “maybe billionaire one day”

          Convince people an alternative than the shameful ladder of capitalism can work, and you’ll have a chance.
