Greed seems to be the inevitable outcome, at the expense of other humans and animals around us all. It's disturbing and has no real end-game of benefit now that we have automation. The question is how do we take back control from the authoritarians?

Oh there's a benefit. Me me me. That's the core issue with Greed. Selfishness. In the end, that's what drives the greedy.

Sure there are examples of them sharing their wealth in ways (usually minimally) but at no point like it be at a major expense to themselves.
