The other side of the argument is that the change of eliminating billionaires won’t happen overnight. I wish I could pull a switch right now that could drain the bank accounts of billionaires and instantly transfer that wealth to millions of people but it won’t work that way, ever.
I believe switching away from the currency they hold would achieve your desired result. As for the means of production that generates that wealth, just Eminent domain it and give it to a worker co-op as a loam. Probably could be revenue positive given interest and increased taxation from rising working class salaries
Probably because most people want to thrive, not just survive. Some want to see the world. Get a job and contribute then.
People thought the world without chattel slavery was a fantasy at one point.
Yes we simply added more steps to it, but progress is progress
Getting rid of all the billionaires didnt create more doctors though
Wrong, more people can afford to go to college. The extra tax base also allows for the creation of new schools.
I agree we should switch away from currency. Look at the stuff people do for fake internet points. We don’t need money to create.
We certainly have the tech and the numbers to ensure the starving artist meme is finally laid to rest. Imagine what creations or inventions we are missing out on because it’s not profitable right now.
The poster did not advocate for violence. You can zero out the billionaires class peacefully. We literally have the power. We just need to stop getting distracted.
We are all working class. Do not be divided by imaginary boarders
Are just going to take away there money as soon as the hit the billion dollar mark?
You want us to take something else from them?
One party system?
“Oh wow so undemocratic holy shit you psycho how dare you even suggest a thing?”
Two party system?
“Oh woooow so much democracy everyone gets to choose between two options. Perfection achieved. Aliens cross the galaxy to study our high advanced flaeless two party system in a desperate hope to emulate it”
More then two parties?
“No way there should be more options, that’s just crazy you psycho how dare you suggest this to me just shut the fuck up and vote for the blue conservatives.”
I hope some day you think outside the box. More like a prison then a box really…

Revoke their corporate charter, nationalize their infrastructure, sell it to municipal ISPs.
Being a salesman must be so easy. Scam the customer, scam the people actually putting the thing together, scam the business itself

You don’t defeat meta by calling out shills.
You can’t stop data collection by keeping the fediverse “pure blooded”.
That involves a digital bill of rights. Positive rights legislation.
That won’t come until we introduce competition into our voting system by making third parties viable by switching away from First past the post voting.
We can change how we vote at a state level (for now), so we don’t need to pass something federally. We don’t need to beg for representation, we can just reach our and take it. Alaska and Maine have already done away with first past the post voting, so why not yours?
If you are not convinced this is the way, Republicans are moving to ban alternative voting systems in states they control. Do you really want to use the voting system republicans prefer?
What’s the excuse blue states?
You can’t hang onto the past forever. It’s future time.
