To start, raise the income tax rates for corporations and high earners in the USA back to the levels before Reagan.

Eliminate the veto powers afforded certain countries in the UN.

Remove the bs cultural stigma against socialism in some countries.

Enforce international law and prosecute crimes against humanity.

Collapse the current US government by changing a 1 to a 0

Possibly a more humble answer: Ask.

Life, and struggle, operate differently in hundreds of areas around even a single large country. Even individual towns might have ideas for different programs that would have varying levels of benefit, and operate much smoother through voluntary buy in.

I’d be open to fining / taxing the ultra rich, I’d just want to remember it’s a means to an end. We don’t improve people’s lives by “taking down the haves” alone.

Approach Moshe Safdie’s company about building Habitat 2027, 60 years after the scaled down compromise was built:

Habitat 67

Focus the capital on research that’s already going into creating matter assemblers. They use light to form matter. This creates food and objects at whatever scale the machines can be created at. No more hunger or digging material out of the Earth bc light is free from the sun. No more shipping costs. Construction happens on the spot. And since the machines can dissolve matter too, there’s your recycling and cleaning up the landfills and oceans.

Start-up capital means investors, investors mean expecting a return on investment, that means you must make sure that people you help will pay you back more than you spent helping them.

The concept in itself is contradictory. If you want to help someone, the easiest thing is not to expect anything in return for the help.

At this point, start an media company. Call it Working Class Propaganda and publish stories that I think we should be talking about instead of what is out there. Explain how the rich are controlling the echo chambers and the topics of conversations so we can’t ever get to solving real problems. Too many people get rich by us not solving these problems. How much money is spent on anti-union, anti-public transportation, or anti-universal health care? All that money is always spent by companies getting rich off the current system.

I have no clue how to explain some concepts in an easy manner, but if I had enough start up I would hire many others. Promise to never be AI articles or pictures. Explain open source and the problems of having a walled garden. Explain Israel having a honey pot setup for pedos and now they have blackmail on many American and EU elites.

I would start buying plots of land in food deserts, demolish the buildings there and start up communal gardening hubs. Actually, there are a ton of things that could be done to areas like this to make them walkable and liveable — but gardening hubs first sounds good.

I would start a workers’ revolution, then imprison anyone opposed to the revolution, then imprison anyone who was for the revolution but not in the right way, and then crush all remaining dissent and hand-pick my successor.

Depending on the maximum budget, I would create a foundation with the single purpose of promoting & integrating European cooperatives and unions, with a big focus on educating everyone on the importance of democracy specially in the management of resources.

My hope is that it could foster a strong enough grassroots movement to achieve the goal of a radically democratic society in some of the most “advanced” economies.

Probably get as many conservatives out of power as possible. Once they’re gone we can work on climate change, better electoral systems, removing the evils of capitalism, and so on.

Plumbing is a noble trade.

Since I can’t see the limit on the start-up capital, I remember UN making a plan to end world hunger for measly 6.6B$ after Elon said he’d sell stocks and fund it if they did so. So yeah, I’d fund that.

Start or join a local cooperative that does something you’re passionate about. Give members of your community stable and meaningful employment with real ownership, autonomy and decision-making.

I’d start hiring hitmen to kill every billionaire in the world.
