    They do build momentum. Obviously public executions of billionaires is what we all want, though.

      Remember the war on drugs or the war on terror? Both creates more drugs and more terror.

          Haha I didnt think of that, but possibly :)

          No i meant more that hating those people and killing them will not get rid of them. The entire end goal of capitalism is to take as much as you can. The end goal is monopoly. At least in unrestricted capitalism like the US.

          You need legal changes to handle that, not going after the people who became billionaries. More of them are growing right now in that system.

            If you’re suggesting we change the system from within, I’ve got bad news: We’ve been trying that. It hasn’t been working. The purpose of the system is what it does, and what this system does is rob us of representation.

            Reckless hate and murder won’t fix a damn thing, you’re correct there. But neither will reliance on voting in a rigged system.
