Didn’t call you an idiot. Just propagandized.

So then expand on your comment about burning systems down without a replacement. What systems do you believe will cease to function without a layer of financial class to soak up the profits?

I dont care about the difference between "propagandized" and "idiot". You attacked me instead of my argument.

Its not the hypothetical removal of the evil and waste of a system, it'd about the process of removing the undesired elements. The problem wasnt just with Brian Johnson was an interchangable empty suit, the problem is with the entire culture and system of incentives. Killing one bad person doesn't do enough to fix things, targeting enough people to make the change that's really needed will need a bureaucratic structure to actually get done, target selection, weapons supply, training, validation, paperwork. Very rare for breaucratically enabled violence to ever be good.

For healthcare in particular is pretty much is just as simple as nationalizating health insurance and have everything done by medicare (or state/local govt health plan) But targeted assassination doesn't automatically translate into an act of congress.
