how deeply [sincerely, seriously, maturely, unsillily] can you reply to this logic?
premise 1: if a govt took 90% of income & fortune off 90% of the population & gave it to 1%, everyone would say that would increase violence & problems, and decrease happiness, enormously
therefore: everyone will say that a govt stopping doing that [reversing that policy] would increase happiness & decrease violence & problems enormously
2. the human world has worse range of inequality than this: 90% get 10% to 0.1% of world average pay/hour - 9% get 100% to 10% of world av pay/hr - 1% get world av to MILLION times world av pay/hr
therefore everyone agrees that reversing that situation will increase happiness and decrease violence enormously
everyone wants happiness [peace safety etc]
therefore there is a universal human will to reverse the present extremely inequitous, violent and unhappy situation
therefore it will happen
