I mean... money *is* a poorly-designed system for the twenty-first century.
*the Internationale starts playing in the background*
We technically have enough resources to go around, not just to cover extremely basic needs, but most needs related to health, safety and basic accomodations of everyone. And we'd presumably have more resources to go in the QC-verse than in the real world.
Money is a resource that made a lot of sense when it was first conceived of, in times of extreme scarcity. We're not exactly post-scarcity, but much of modern scarcity is manufactured and artificial, and serves the needs of an increasingly small number of people.
So this guy, goofy as his reaction is, is not exactly wrong.
Mavadotar:
Thank you, looong time lurker that finally decided to jump in. It is a reference to the manga Berserk, wherin (quarter century old spoiler alert) mercenary leader Griffith decides to sacrifice all of his his friends and subordinates in absolutely hellish fashion in order to be reborn as what is effectively a demon lord named Femto.

--- End quote ---
But if we did that, people who think they're intrinsically better than everyone else[1] don't have a way to screw over the rest of the population through the hoarding of wealth and supplies.
[1] They usually still argue 'genetics' and they all often marry each other through much more careful inbreeding than they used to.
St.Clair:
For comparison

Have to admit I never thought I'd see the day this comic skewers socialism and sjws in general
Its quite refreshing
