If I had the opportunity for some street justice on a billionaire I wouldnt fucking hesitate. That said, it would change jack shit. His wealth just passes to the next asshole.
Just FYI, BTW
Every healthy economy has a robust guillotine maintenance capability.
Eat the rich lol
the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry
based
Haha
Unfortunately Mao was an idiot surrounded by sycophants who killed more of his countrymen through incompetent policies than Stalin did with his purges.
People always say Mao killed so many people, but when pressed for how they just say "famine". If that's the standard, how many people does world capitalism kill? Don't let perfect be the enemy of good🤷♂️
liberal detected
You and me baby aint nothing but mamals, so lets lead a revolution like on discovery channel
Eat the rich? They sure are making everything else too expensive.
Beat inflation at the grocery store (and everywhere else) with this one simple trick. Capitalists hate it!
They have a far more functional society than we do
Did you know, chimps don't have remote killing drones, armored vehicles, or nuclear weapons.
Well human do, and its usually not the average person that have posession of those things.
You should watch the movie Ants, it's an amazing example of why this line of reasoning doesn't hold water.
How many wars the US has won since WWII?
And?
In addition to what MattsAlt said, the people in possession of those things still rely on you and me to meet all their wants and needs. So a crucial first step before they become edible is for us to stop meeting their wants and needs. Exactly who "possesses" what starts to become a little more ambiguous when that happens.
Don't have to own em, just have to get the people paid to operate them on the right side
Average military pay is like 2100/month so I guess if the dudes in charge of the nukes/drones/tanks decide to stop getting cucked by business interests it would probably be fine.
Or decide not to kill their relatives. Like in previous revolutions ;)
Bezos might nuke us
This is honestly the reason why I don't think we can achieve a successful uprising anymore. Probably not a nuke, but drones definitely could and would be used to tear through even the largest of mobs if they formed today. Marie Antoinette would be happily eating her cake watching her people get mowed down by autonomous turrets if the French revolution happened today.
I disagree, usage of drones hasn't worked to put down any armed struggle in the US's puppet states.
IMO we are probably on the brink of the last possible society that can on a technical level. I would say, nukes, and even drone bombs etc.... are unlikely to be utilized, simply due to collateral damage, infrastructure damage etc....
However, things like the boston dynamics spot etc... We're probably a decade away from when 1 person can control an army of perfectly loyal soldiers.
Unless they're maintaining the software themselves, there's no such thing as perfectly loyal. In the past the revolutionaries needed to capture the armory, now they need to capture / subvert the servers / programmers.
It's true... but with all things it's a matter of quantity of people you need to be loyal... IE one commander who agrees with the cause, vs 100 soldiers that could talk about it.
Plus, it's far easier to grow a concience on the field looking in the eyes of the children you are murdering, vs sitting in a computer or robot lab having no "need to know" what these robots do when they leave your office
Naw it's white folk that want to get their magic cards
It's alright, given the current performance of Blue Origin it'll take him a decade or two to get the missile working.
to get the missile working
If you know what I mean..
Naw. He can’t afford to lose cheap labor
lose ~~cheap~~ chimp labor.
Once they have AI bots it's game over.
Is this the one successful example of communism?
How can a primate hoard resources? They have no storage methods
Hoarding bananas
Where?! In his house? The banana shack? Are they just in a pile that he sits on like a dragon? Who guards his pile while he goes to take a shit?
These days, they usually use a variety of financial instruments distributed across a wide variety of accounts in tax havens.
