You're taking the argument at it's most basic level, assuming that we would kill the billionaires and then sit around twiddling out thumbs. I don't think it's much of a leap to assume we'd change how the system works as well lol.
Ok? Then maybe do that without the murder part??? If you have actual ideas of how to change the system, then do it?
They're not going to give up their control willingly, hence the killing them part.
But you still haven’t refuted my main point. If killing them just creates new billionaires, what does that actually achieve?
Why not murdering them AND Robin Hood all their shit? At least until the systemic problem that made them billionaires in the first place gets dismantled bit by bit.
It wouldn't create new billionaires if you're also changing the system lol that was my point.
"Ok, can we do this french revolution without killing the aristocracy? If you have actual ideas of how to change the system, then do it?"
Maybe an online petition, those always work.
