question (sadly, that's all i have time for at the moment--i am caught between things in 3-d):
i wonder if what you're proposing in a backhanded kind of way is an abolition of the distinction between wage labor and capital when you say "i want everybody to be wealthy"--if you did that, then there'd be no structural explanation for unequal distribution of wealth and maybe your position would make sense, in my view.
but unless you do in fact abolish structural factors like that, it is hard to me to fathom how you can remove inequalities in wealth from the political arena--which seems to be what you'd like to do.
and if you are, in fact, arguing for the abolition of divisions like between wage labor and capital (which i use for shorthand's sake--i am fully aware that the contemporary situation is more complicated than this in some ways--e.g. in the fact that for example a pension fund can own stock and so and so--and i am also fully aware that this division in the economic arena repeats over and over throughout other zones of the mode of production expressed in it) maybe we might agree--->the only way to remove this from politics is a radical transformation of capitalism itself.
