MODERATORS
Why does the majority not simply seize wealth from the minority and redistribute it? Why can't society just collectively decide money from billionaires had no value? It's so frustrating seeing the majority allow a minority of rich people ruin everything when money is a social construct, meaningless if we all collectively decide it is
That would take collectively seizing power from the governments and the banks.
It would take an immense amount of organization. Tens of millions of people coordinated across thousands of task forces.
Strike busters are effective at disrupting the organization of hundreds of workers on a few task forces. Strike busting is so effective, it's regulated in the US. The owner class hires strike busters anyway and aren't investigated.
It's not impossible, but it would take a sociological miracle. More so given the coordinated efforts by the far-right propaganda machine to sow division among the population.
We're going to have to suffer and die a whole lot before we bust out the guillotines. But maybe someone will get creative and innovate a new technique.
