I used to think that too but at least historicaly, if the problem is the system itself then there are no ways to solve the problem from within the system. see French revolution. The problems of feudalism couldn’t have been solved by following the law. I am not calling for violence or anything like that. Just pointing out it hasn’t been that simple, just categorically opposing any form of violence, throughout history. If the current system continues on its trajectory, soon there won’t be anything legal left for the masses to do. So not “it should happen” but “it will inevitably happen”, it being violent revolution.
social democracies are trying to slowly adapt the situation, let’s hope it will be enough.
Yeah I find it very funny to hear people talk about eating the rich and all that because honestly, it’s political right that’s closest to a “new French Revolution”, the left is way too peaceful to do anything like it these days… In North America anyway.
Step One is to help both sides realize that “left” nor “right” are worthwhile distinctions. It’s haves and have-nots. Everything else is distraction to pit us against each other.
So we doing this or what?
“So we’ve tried to occupy wall St, but how about we just burn it down instead?”
(But actually what would work is burning the rich’s homes down with them inside instead.)
Let’s stick to the guillotine, no need to be unnecessarily cruel.
I disagree with all forms of violence though I will point out that the rich are unnecessarily cruel to the general population.

There’s a wall already in Wall Street, so just line them against the wall.
Why overcomplicate?!
Do you suppose burning down Swiss banks would help? I believe it would
or space billionaires for that matter

Yeah but when you rebuild you still have to deal with the political opinion of the people who are have nots but still believe in capitalism.
