First, thank you very much for taking the time to read and comment properly. In part, what you say is right, in another part, I think you have not understood me well, or I have not been able to explain good. Scotland belongs to the United Kingdom, because obviously I know that Adam Smith is Scottish. When I speak of the miserable life of the campesionos, I do it from the material point of view, because it is undeniable in my opinion, that in those times there is no material abundance that exists today. In the same way, the comparison I make is with the objective of discrediting the economic policies that are aimed at redistributing wealth from an obviously socialist perspective, taking money away from the rich to give to the poor, as if that would be the solution, obviously it is not.
The issue here is whether the modern rich, and particularly - the uber-wealthy - have legitimate claim to their vast wealth, or whether, actually, they are cheats, thieves, criminals - controlling and playing a rigged system, and fundamentally parasiting off everyone else. All available evidence points to the latter - a rigged, criminal system, lorded over by some of the most ruthless and despicable human beings in recorded history.
Totally agree with you, that is exactly the subject of the post. While I agree with you that there is currently a class of rich or multimillionaires living in society in the closest way to parasitism, it is also important to note that in any case, the alienation of property and redistribution is not the most effective mechanism to eliminate poverty.
When I speak of education, I do not speak of indoctrination, but of true education, a subject that I believe I have already discussed in previous posts.

When I talk about education, I try to talk about the new forms of knowledge that allow the development of a nation, a nation lagging behind in technical and technological aspects, for example, it has greater difficulties to develop new markets and produce more wealth. That was partly what marked a difference between industrial power in the past, and that continues to make a difference in the present. Anyway, I think the problem is poverty rather than inequality.

Finally, to give an example that the redistribution of wealth does not work, especially by removing wealth or property from some to give to others, there is Venezuela, my country, where the companies were expropriated from the big businessmen, the wealth was redistributed incredibly, and it was not invested in education at all, because we are going, if they built schools, but nothing of education, and later they ended up collapsing the country, then, you have a nation that does not produce anything, having an immense amount of resources, why? because very few people have the knowledge to extract and develop any industry.
