In the final act of capitalism the corrupt government is made up of oligarchs who destroy the institutions of government that benefit the people and the oligarch loot every last penny that they can before the people rise up, murder them, redistribute the wealth of the country to the people, and start again.
In France it was the guillotine. In the US it will be in 9 mm pistol.
They're afraid because they see it coming.
Makes you wonder what the French Revolution would have been like with a 9mm.
Quicker? Or deadlier?
The spectacle of the guillotine was part of its function. There were easier ways to kill aristocrats, but there deaths were also a message, and smothering them in their sleep isn't as effective as a public execution with 6 meter tal technological marvel.
I guess the modern day equivalent is a security camera the guy clearly was aware of and the internet.
