This screams, still in high school, maybe very early college, and unaware of how undeveloped their understanding of political economy is. Like, they’ve got enough of a moral compass to understand that equitable distribution of wealth and property is good, but zero sense of class struggle or the use of systems to maintain that inequality. I don’t think they get that the people they want to ask very nicely to share their wealth are the same ones that run those systems to ensure they get to sit on their piles of wealth.
It’s possible they could become a proper leftist but not without getting some basic theory into them first.
Probably, but they strike me as the type who actually thinks they can logic facts and reason the capitalists into sharing the wealth. One of those types that sees politics as purely moral posturing and no material interests at play.

They are talking about "gender ethics", so they have at least slept through philosophy 101 to have heard the word ethics

the step to take is realizing that rich people need to die, systemically it must be changed in that way
