        Inherently, no. But accumulation of personal property can be a result of profit; profit is simply the difference between expenses and revenue, whether expressed in monetary terms or in material goods.

          And who is going to protect the corrupt arseholes from us? At the moment it’s the entire system we live under, that they control.

          We cannot do any worse by destroying that system and directly fighting the corrupt arseholes.
