@aburtch Guillotine billionaires, one at a time, on livestream, until the survivors beg to just pay taxes.
@grumble209 Excellet solution.

@aburtch As my mother said: you don't amass that much money unless you've hurt people. Usually a lot of people.
-
@aburtch True.

@aburtch
Billionaires are a inevitable consequence (sooner or later) of the concentration of money and power, which is inevitable consequence of monetary system (which includes both capitalism and socialism). Think about it. -
@aburtch Exactly.
-
@aburtch In this current inflation yes.
IF the inflation rises enough you can say that about trillioniares and so forth.
I don't know what the formula should be, but I am pretty sure 1% should not own even 25% of the wealth of any given country.

Think about it.@paelnever @aburtch No, they're not. Billionaires can only exist if it's possible for people to profit off the labour of others. Things don't have to be that way.

@aburtch@shakedown.social they do that even if you don't raise taxes
-
@aburtch This is because if the capital can't be saved from the majority of people and their cry for economic democracy by means of liberal policies it will be saved by other means, which quite often plays out to be fascist and/or authoritarian in nature.

@aburtch You won't do it by shouting, arrest, protest, legal, fiscal, political, punishment, or any other source of "headbutt" fight.
There are wall protecting them from every angle of attack.
Bringing down those walls requires intelligence, "OOTB" reasoning and CO-OPERATION.
That's all you can do. -
Billionaires should not be allowed to exist in the first place.
Agree, the french found a good solution for the problem.
An invitation to visit A Madame that could not be refused
Generally a Madame is a Prostitute, in the french solution it means a mechanical Gravity powered device called a Guillotine.

@aburtch Fascism's inventor Mussolini said that fascism is the merging of state and industry.
Capitalism out of control sees everything as utilitarian. If politicians do not resist, then fascism is more or less the natural outcome.
With the broad scale adoption of neoliberalism on the left, economic decline does that, things were set in motion.
Neoliberalism always has been a rich mans game, starting with the well funded Heritage and Chicago school 80 years ago.
