If we killed all billionaires, would that destroy capitalism or would their money just get transferred to their successors? (lemmygrad.ml)

Nope, the money doesn’t die just because the owner did. The multi-millionaires would open businesses in place of the deceased billionaires and probably rake in even more money under a smaller percentage of people, you’d probably need to do a monthly culling of the Billionaires, which may be fun for a while, but it wouldn’t stop billionaires from existing as long as capitalism continues
