@veronica@mastodon.online @swachter@toot.boston @gknauss@mastodon.social very well said. It essentially amounts to a fascism in the sense that they dictate for that concentration of wealth. And that is where there is the potential for danger, harm, and corruption.
The potential influence is too strong and broad.
Is it even possible for a person with that much wealth to dispose of the wealth? I think Bill Gates tried to do it. Probably just felt guilty for having too much.

@dckim@mastodon.social @swachter@toot.boston @gknauss@mastodon.social Even when they try to do good, many of them like to keep the control. The Gates Foundation is a good example. In the spirit of the analogy, it's essentially the benevolent dictator argument. It is still anti-democratic.
