I agree. Their preservation of wealth is a classic prisoners dilemma. I like to imagine myself as the next Engels if I had that wealth, but I can’t say for certain how I’d act. The tradegy of their alienation is absolutely juxtaposed against their actions, but they’re brutally efficient actions for their own preservation instead of cooperating to avoid the need for bunkers in the first place. I’m under no illusions though, a post-apocalyptic world will have the moral imperative to seperate them from their excess supplies forcibly
You could say that this imperative is already present based on the loss of life and human suffering endured by those in need of more fair distribution of wealth.
