Bill Gates Uses the "C" Word in Davos, Switzerland

Bill Gates

Are the extreme lefties even too much for the lefty-leaning billionaire Bill Gates?

Does he see a real threat to his own cash flow?

Indications out of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland appear to indicate so.
On the heels of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez stating that the current system that creates billionaires is immoral, there are multiple reports out of Davos indicating Gates used the "C" word when discussing those who want to "change the entire system."

Brian Merchant tweeted:

So far in Davos
-a room full of billionaires laughed tauntingly at @AOC’s 70% marginal tax prop.
-Bill Gates scoffed at notion the system was broken, hinted critics were communists 

And Waleed Shahid, former communications director for AOC, tweets:

Bill Gates insinuates that @AnandWrites is a communist for suggesting philanthropy can’t solve the problems of skyrocketing inequality and entrenched oligarchy.

Here, distilled, is the false choice that has defined our era: we can have plutocracy or we will have Communism.

I admire @BillGates‘s giving. But I invite him to apply his curiosity to the question of other systems we could have that restore humanity. pic.twitter.com/4EX7VrpBTI
