I’m not touching the first one, but the second I agree there’s a nieve understanding where it could be good. As soon as they start using their power to prevent others from gaining power (which always happens instantly) then there’s an issue. The more money you have, the easier it becomes to make money and keep others from making money, creating a situation where they’re subservient to you because they need resources you control to survive. There’s no freedom there. The only way it can work and be good is with ruthless government oversight protecting the people and redistributing accumulated wealth.
I agree with you, but you just invented Socialism again. You get your needs provided and the means of production are available for you to produce with. That’s socialism.
