There are two ways to kill a plant, and one is much more efficient and effective than the other.
Also when comparing fear of violence against fear of government regulation (and federal prison), one is much more civilized and moral while accomplishing the same goal.
so it’s fine for poor people to not only fear systemic violence, but experience it daily, but gods forbid the handful of people in charge of said system who are actively and deliberately inflicting violence and death on millions if not billions of people the globe daily, and for posterity, and for their own benefit, fear some violent self defence…
Violence against poor people: you sleep
Violence against our rich overlords: real shit
The level of bootlicking is gross…
government regulation (and federal prison)
how’s that been working out? (hint: it isn’t, because capitalism cannot be reformed, by design. And the point of eat the rich isn’t to just keep killing them, it’s to give them the option to end their exploitative system and give up their power for the benefit of society at large, and when they refuse, because they will, make that decision for them. Once the system is abolished any “heirs”, and former rich people who realise they’d rather live as equals to others than die filthy rich, will have no power to take the “top” position again, because there will be no top position, nor will they have any resources to try with).
An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind. I am consistent across the board when I say I don’t believe in violence, regardless of class, race, etc. Just because the rich are being violent to the poor doesn’t mean an effective response is to be violent back; that’s how you get your message smeared by media, and how you get the public to hate you. Take a page out of Ghandi’s or MLK’s book.
Violence will actively make things worse for the cause.
Also the rich aren’t going to just stop exploiting people because they face death threats. Those people are very well protected by the government and by their well-paid, private security force. The only way to change things is to take control of the government. The how is difficult, since every part of the government is working for the rich, but that doesn’t make it impossible. I hope it doesn’t have to take a literal revolution to do so.
