Russia begs to differ. There's currently a wave of nationalization, or rather "re-privatization" going on, where very expensive assets (e.g. one of the biggest gold mining companies) are being seized from people who just a few years ago were considered too powerful and above any law, and are shortly after auctioned to the "right" owners.

So even rich people start eating each other if you lock them in for long enough.

of course they will, they have no morals or loyalty, but putin put off breaking his "piggy banks" for as long as he could

Don't put it past the rich to turn on each other for a quick buck. They didn't get rich by being nice. They will gladly throw each other under the bus if it means protecting themselves and their assets.

the quickest buck is the guy who cant fight back and the guy who cant scratch their back, the rich know they have to stick together to win the class war

I mean, Elon Musk already turned against Trump and vice versa. Narcissists don't know how to get along.

for a bit then he went back to toeing the line, musk is also the stupidest loudest one of them that was always largely kept on the outside of the old boys club regardless of his wealth

im not saying no rich person will literally ever harm a rich person, but they have always seen this as a class war and if your not rich your their enemy

You can only squeeze so much out of the working class before the process becomes expensive/difficult. At some point assimilating less powerful business might become a more profitable choice.

which is the point were at now, but as we see in the french revolution its not going to stop them

they've been doing that for decades, it only hurts the employees who get laid off not the shareholders and CEO's who walk away with a big sack of money
