Every day we're here just to learn billionaires & families should be crushed and their wealth redistributed amongst third world countries.

Why advocate for structural changes when we can meme fedpost about a violent solution?

[–] Marxine@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Redistributing the wealth of billionaires is already part of a good structural change, it'll remove from them power they'd use to continue the exploitation of the people. You can substitute "crush" by destitute and incarcerate them if you'd prefer, as long as the wealth isn't on the hands of the few anymore.
