Killing the billionaires will solve most of the world’s human created problems overnight.
I don't know about that, the reason these billionaires exist is because they're at the top of the pyramid of a fucked system, if they all died overnight they'd just be replaced by the next one in line, cheap plastic shit and toxic food would still get produced, pollution would still keep happening etc. I mean there's a chance that the event might work some sense into the rest of them, or scare them into enacting actual change but it's not a given.
You see, when they are replaced, you kill the next. I say we do it and then see how it goes. 4000 dead assholes is a small price to pay in war.
The problem is, they control the system… so you cannot use the system to beat them. The only thing left is deleting them from the system and restructuring it without their involvement.
Ok so we just keep going down the line and kill all humans? A radical proposal for sure, but I suppose it would certainly solve the problem.
Not all humans. 4000 at a time. Let me know how long 4000 per year takes to kill all humans on earth. Include birth rates.
You sound like MAGAt fed trash.
The SRs did this for nearly a century in czarist Russia and it didn't bring them any closer to revolution. By the 1910s they made being a minister for the Czar a legitimately dangerous profession, if anything it made the regime more reactionary and made them beef up the police state.
A thing that didn’t work in the past doesn’t mean it won’t work in the future by learning from the mistakes of the past.
But go on, keep telling me how much you love billionaires, and capitalism.
Never said I love billionaires and capitalism, just saying there are better ways to fight them then assassinations. It's trying to solve a systemic problem with an individualistic solution.
We need to organize and unite to defeat the capitalists, if people rally around a dead oligarch then that can be good, but if it alienates people due to the inevitable collateral damage then that's bad for the cause.
Either way though the main challenge is building solidarity and there are safer ways to do this with more mass appeal, albeit less drama, then assassinations.
Look, I’m gonna stop you with that “organize” bullshit. It is very clear you’re a fucking fed who wants to lead everyone on with hopes and dreams and thoughts and prayers. You should be fucking ashamed of yourself. I don’t know how you sleep at night. I hope your children never find out that disgusting things you’re doing in support of capitalism.
Organizing. Solidarity. What fucking jokes. It is immensely clear what side you’re on and it is not mine.
Kindly fuck off and die. Kisses.
Idk if this is sarcasm but you clearly don't know the FBI if you think they'd be discouraging assassinations. They'd track your IP and gas you up as much as they could to build incriminating evidence to show that they caught a dangerous left wing terrorist.
That’s exactly what a fed would say.
Didn't bring them any closer to revolution? It brought them closer to three.
The main cause for the revolutions of 1905 and 1917 was the governments failure to handle the war. No one was striking or in the streets because an SR killed another minister
Main cause perhaps in 1917. But not only cause. You cant pretend that SR activity didn't have an impact.
The SRs did help to organize the country side and rally them for the revolution, but the peasants weren't rallying because of there assassinations, they were joining because of there promise to expropriate the rich landlords and redistribute the land to the peasants. If another party came along promising land redistribution, but without the history of assassinations, the peasents would join it just as enthusiastically. As seen with Makhno and the anarchists.
The system that made them will still be there. And people surrounding them, while not billionaires themselves can take over and keep the machine going
The system can change once 4000 billionaires are gone. And if it doesn’t, keep lowering the bar.
For sure, but that's not an overnight thing
Gotta start somewhere, as opposed to doing nothing
