    Yeah I hate the 1% but you have to be extremely naive to think that just killing them is the answer when all of the mechanisms that led to their existence are intact.

    Ah, but who paid for those mechanisms to exist?

    It’s not a perfect fix, but it’s a fix of some kind.

    Worked out for the French eventually, and one could say Napoleon was mostly bad for the rest of Europe rather than all of France.

      I wouldn’t call the reign of terror, the Thermidorian Reaction or ultimate rise of capitalism “working out”.

      The entire system we have now came into place because they had no plan and just let the merchan class become the new royals.
