    Not defending capitalists but killing capitalists doesn’t solve any systemic problems producing capitalists. The system will just produce another Person who does the same

      There’s always one or more people that say this but its really not complicated. I will continue to kill them until there are none left or someone kills me or I just die from anything really. Simple as.

        The people that are billionaires aren’t inherently evil. Having power and wealth makes people want to increase the power and wealth. If the system isn’t removed, people will still become billionaires and become assholes. Organizing strikes and resisting is much more effective at removing billionaires than killing the symptoms of the system.

          I sure would love to see some examples of the not evil billionaires you’ve mentioned.

      Ok well they’re still amoral scumbags who will absolutely not hesitate to continue killing and immiserating others to enrich themselves so I don’t really care if killing them fixes every problem in the world or not.

        Killing them fixes no problems at all it just changes the person doing the oppression. Changing the system fixes things.

        Striking for better conditions or a change in the system does so much more for improving the situation than killing individual people who are produced by the system.

        People aren’t evil at birth, they become evil from profiting off the system. They are just symptoms of the sickness that is capitalism

        The idea is to make billionaires terrified of being on the wrong side of wealth inequality. If billionaires were being hunted for sport, maybe there would be more former and would-be billionaires, now hypothetically just multi millionaires, that are paying fair wages to their employees, allowing their taxes to go towards education and social services, and donating large sums of money to effective charities simply to survive in a society that wouldn’t want or need them otherwise.

          They would just continue with the same shit but more covert and put more effort into not being a public figure.

          Multi millionaires are rarely as charitable as you describe, there is always some kind of catch. Their objective is still accumulating capital.

      It can only ever accomplish terrorism against a specific class of people(the ruling class), which can be effective or counterproductive depending on how it is done.
