    To answer both questions…

    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.

      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?
