    It’s easy if you don’t know how shitty the other 90% have it. That’s the thing about privilege. The folks who have it assume that everybody has it like they do (i.e. that privilege isn’t really a thing, everybody has equal opportunity, racism is dead, etc).

    Oh really? My bad. I’ve always heard it used specifically to talk about corrupted implementations of Marxism. E.g. Animal Farm.

    Err, maybe I’m confusing Marxism and socialism.

    I’m still not exactly clear on how any of it avoids corruption. At the end of the day, somebody decides whose street gets paved first.
