    “I don’t care what everyone else says, there’s no need to execute the wealthy en masse. Workers just need to seize the means of production.”

      I’m not into that hippie dippie bullshit, I’ve heard great arguments from both sides. But I suppose if forced to pick a flavor of Fully Automated Gay Space Communism, I’d probably pick the “Luxury” variety, like anyone.

      there is no means of production in services based economy, so unless you’re willing to go through total economic collapse, and rebuilding through all of that, to some extent globally, that’ll be quite the journey. And you’ll find it to be the answer to the question of “why hasn’t anything happened yet”

      It’s because people like being able to buy things lmao. Maybe if this admin causes a depression of sorts, but i’m not confident on that being the case, it’s certainly a realistic possibility, but it doesn’t seem to be imminent right now.

      Except, the wealthy will likely resist the recovery of what they stole from workers. SO executing at least the very worst of them should stay an option if necessary.
