So what do you propose? What are the logistics of it? How do you organize to take out enough systems to take over? What do you do afterwards?

Life isn't some fantastical action story, it's the incredibly complex reality we all live in where a single person cannot fathom all the variables therein. You are not trying to understand, you are not trying to be effective, you're just circle jerking in your fantasy world. And as long as many people keep doing that, living in some kind of hyper-real abstraction of reality, the people actually smart enough to organize and get into power will be able to do whatever they want. You're just another enabler.

That is simply not true. Violence is the last resort, and many movements were successful before that. Violence can be effective, but needs to be measured. You must get people on your side, and you won't achieve that through murder.

Of course it's more complicated, but in general, to effect lasting change, you need widespread support and a good narrative, just look at MAGA. They didn't kill people to get into power, they were elected. Now that they are in power, they have legitimacy and can start disposing of the undesirables however they want, slowly turning up the heat.

You will rarely achieve love through hate.

Not with that attitude. Seems like MAGA succeeded in organizing sufficiently.

What are you gonna do? Kill all CEOs? And then? Kill all politicians? And then? Police? Military? Dissidents? Do you just keep killing? How do you handle the resulting societal trauma?

How exactly do you think any of that can achieve sustainable, progressive change?

I agree with the premise, it just doesn't change anything. Change needs to be political, and as long as you keep the neoliberal fuckwits and fascists in power, there will always be enough parasites to fill the empty place.

It's just a fancy history, it has nothing to do with pocket.

Only with stupid ones.

Senseless killing is a superficial solution. Organization is the sustainable, but less glamurous one.

Wipe Windows, Install Linux ;D That was my last straw as well.

For the sake of argument, how do you expect something like that to be made for a dollar?
