Wealth

PROPERTY, n. Any material thing, having no particular value, that may be held by A against the cupidity of B. Whatever gratifies the passion for possession in one and disappoints it in all others. The object of man's brief rapacity and long indifference. -- A.B.

[CUPIDITY, n. Greed, especially for money or possessions (formal). Named after an imp colloquially blamed for the inspiration of rape]

The big fallacy is that wealth is produced by workers. Not so; it produces workers. Wealth is a rilchiam produced by the linguistic juxtaposition (just suppositioning) of the ideas around "health" (your 'own'), "heath" ('unplowed land') and "world" (added or aggregate environment). Like The Word, it belongs to totalising empires (a redundancy).  Work as wage or any other slavitude, is only work: an action without intention or action despite one's contrary intention to pause. If one could eat labour, we would have to call it a squirming meal of toxins.

For example, what used to be labeled "graft," construction for the sake of construction for the sake of accelerating wealth (euphemistically called "money") has no interest and no longer any connection in the production of commodities (other than the machinery which facilitates the work). Since the first truck-farm, there has always been this tendency to destroy produce for the renewal of production. Bataille used the example of warfare, just another rapacious (if par excellent) mining venture in the interest of spermicidal expenditure or whatever gets you off. Construction work has become a perpetual project, at least until the last mountain is leveled to the ground or the last hole piled up. The structure is absolutely superfluous to the enterprise. To wit: there are today as many new, vacant structures as people lacking them. And they're growing on both counts. Post-structuralism for the materialists!

If objective "things" are made, they are made only as a means for acquiring survival: a functional duration suitable only for further work. Property is not necessarily a noun when it expresses one's authority to thieve (or exclude) – hence the phonetic similtude between thieve and thrive. It is a right of things to move (as a willing slave toward a master – ie., a sycophant), and folks to stand still, gaping. Wealth is State Polity: what is taken by owners by virtue of property, and that means, whatever they desire. Their booty or "just" desert.

Justice is a misnomer (hurling toward the rilchy fith). To equalise wealth would be, a priori, to annihilate it. Unless we refer back to "health" and "world", wealth is meaningless, a metaphor un-dead, without reflection. Such reference notwithstanding, there is no wealth without property. Health is always the case of the person, whether self or airy sylph. It is produced by one's provisional suggestions, contingent relations or 'free' associations with the world. A case of illness is a diseased society: cupidity with indifference, desire without aesthetic. Anesthesia is definitely contraindicated.

Unless you can produce an appearance of infinity by your disorder, you will have disorder only without magnificence.

– Edmund Burke

Wealth is the articulation or slicing of the world breaking up others' relations & associations, immune to any and all contrary suggestions. One's wealth produces sickness for the other, but as an incurably accelerating addiction – on (or nearly so) both counts. The wealthy are vampires, a word which has taken a life of its own after being cut off from "empires". The behaviour is tell-tale: a personified condition (being immortal) wherein actually mortal parasites raze villages (in the appearance of a dragon or dragoon, it makes no difference) and suck blood or life-essence: the par excellent circulating and renewing fluid characterising healthy bodies partaking of nutritious provisions.

The annihilation of wealth, what some ironically (or mindlessly) call justice has only one demand: the destruction of property in both its nominal and adverbial case. In the name of 'justice', to suggest that workers need more and better work is the height of linguistic absurdity or unhealthy condition.
