@Radical_EgoCom @Lily_and_frog @FisherPeter whether it's socialism or anything else, the wealthy will never let us engineer a system where it removed their advantages over the rest of us. I abhor physical violence and I would like to believe that it is possible to adopt a new system without it, but that would involve a massive amount of agreement that is impossible in a world where excessive wealth can purchase cooperation. Hopefully I'm wrong but at the moment I no longer believe that. 3 comments
@Radical_EgoCom @FisherPeter Getting to socialism from capitalism is what I mean. I can't imagine the wealthy will allow that transition if it can be prevented using the kind of force or "persuasion" that money can accomplish. You are correct. The bourgeois ruling class, the ones who currently use their power over politicians and the media to restrict leftists and maintain their power, obviously would do the same to revolutionaries seeking to abolish capitalism. |

If it's socialism, then the wealthy's advantages would have already been taken away.
