Saying that rich people hate poor people misses the point, imo.
It doesn’t matter if the rich hate the poor or if they actually love them deep down. They exploit and profit from the poor. A reserve army of labour is an intrinsic part of capitalism, it scares workers from organizing and fighting for their rights.
If a capitalist saw the error of their ways and decided to treat their workers well and give to the poor that would affect their bottom line and they would be squeezed out of the market by their more ruthless fellow capitalists. Exploitation is literally unavoidable under capitalism.
It’s not the morals of capitalists that need to be fought, it’s capitalism itself.
Truuuuuuueeeeeeee
IfJeff Bezos decided tomorrow to start paying all his employees a living wage and give them decent working conditions and stop pushing small companies out of the market, then his share holders and investors would immediately jump to a more ruthless and thus more profitable company and Amazon’s stock value would go into free fall.
The Market rewards ruthlessness and punishes humanity and makes sure the worst people end up on top because the system is designed to function this way. It can not be fixed through an appeal to morals, it has to be fixed through system change.
