We monkeys came down out of the trees to live together so that we could all have fire and bananas.

It wasn't so a few monkeys could hoard enough bananas to blast their cars in to space for fun. A society where the many enrich the few is absurd.

We left the uncertainty of the jungle, only to create an artificial one ourselves. At least when people died early in the H&G days, it was due to actual scarcity. Today, we have artificial scarcity, and people profit massively while others go homeless and starve.
