More wealth gives you more power in different ways, including political.

That doesn't mean that society stands where it stands now because of political power. If anything, we've evolved in spite of it.

And you assuming that I was born rich is hilarious. I come from the northeast from Brazil, and my parents weren't by any means rich growing up. Now, on their 70s, they're finally financially stable after a lot of hard-work, and despite the government doing their best to destroy their wealth. And to clarify: besides attending a really good private school, my childhood was quite poor (luckily, I always had a computer about 5-10 years older than the current models back then, at least; I could've newer, but your loved statism made it harder to have access to tech).

You're full of prejudice. You think someone who isn't on the same page as you politically is privileged lol

Wealth inequality doesn't cause people to die from preventable diseases. Your commie mindset does when they can't afford to have access to wealth, medications, leisure, access to good resources, etc.
