    Yes, it absolutely is the point. I don’t think billionaires should exist, full stop. They have already dehumanized everyone but themselves, so IMO turnaround is completely fair in this situation. Starting with a very extreme demand like “eat the rich” gives us lots of room to negotiate their surrender.

    In general, I agree with you. But some cases are too important and cannot be reasoned with. As an otherwise avowed pacifist, I’d put “punch a Nazi in the face” on this list of acceptable moral hypocrisy, too.

      You’re kidding yourself if you think it’s a negotiation tactic. When the revolution comes, such revisionism will get you executed by true believers.

      But at least you’re useful to them for the time being. Someone needs to radicalise the people who will carry out the purges.
