I strongly favour democratic solutions where they’re available (revolution without sustainable preparation is where communist regimes turn autocratic almost every time), but understand the democracy-breaking political influence billionaires are able to buy. If a couple of your Kochs and Murdochs start meeting grisly ends, the rest of their ilk might get the message, stand aside and let democracy run its course for once.
It’s not how the real progress happens, but it’s certainly likely to help things along.
Do you honestly think I’m suggesting that a couple of dead billionaires solves the problem?
If this is still your impression after pre-reading my last paragraph, I’m not sure what to say.
If it’s not, why the strawman? These are actual problems we all face - how are we to solve them if we’re lying to dismiss solutions we don’t like?
I focused on
Which paragraph? I am sorry but I had the impression that you see assassinations as solution. I am also not sure what the strawman is to you.
Let’s step back. What’s your approach?
To answer both questions…
It’s not how the real progress happens, but it’s certainly likely to help things along.
All I read is ‘kill some billionaires and the others will treat us nicely’.
There is a hint at a communist revolution with a democratic foundation.
If you want that, why not have cooperatives and such within the current political framework?
What do you really want and how do you want to get there?
