Can Earth support a human future? Maybe, if we kill more rich people.

Well thats an interesting idea: how many more people can the earth support for each billionaire

You have to redistribute that wealth with socialism, killing the people who currently possess it will just create new billionaires, it won't solve the problem.

You can have redistribution without socialism. There was a modest amount of redistribution even under Eisenhower.
