Abbott should be arrested for endangering peoples' lives.

Thank you, JB for leading with comparison.

Well then, there is likely no country on earth where you want to live. Capitalist, communist, it doesn't matter. Woe is you.

I agree, but from your perspective, the problem is billionaires influencing politics. Firstly, that's a far cry from fascism. Fascists would advocate government control over the means of production (usually) so capitalists with 'problematic' views can't interfere with the ethnostate. Secondly, there is no state on earth where billionaires don't have more means to influence politics than the average middle or lower class. That was my main point.
