    Any solution that starts with purges is bad.

      Purges?
      When we taking (this) system?
      You talking about the ruling class (defined by its ownership of all things)?
      (Either way a purge would be just taking away things they shouldn’t own anyway)

      I don’t think purging by political affiliation would directly change modern western systems, so dismantling such system isn’t by color, it’s ruling class vs everyone & everything else.

        I’m thinking more about the plurality of Americans that aren’t on board, for whatever stupid reason. Until they are convinced, destroying the system won’t really stick, if it’s even possible.

          What does that have to do with “starting with purges”?

          Wouldn’t stick, but it would still take a century to get as bad is it currently is.

            Maybe, unless the replacement is immediately worse based on who seizes control. It’s the devil you know vs the one you don’t.

      It’s harder to build something than to destroy it. I’d you destroy a system with nothing to replace it, the rich and powerful will swoop into the power vacuum and gobble up more.

        This is very true. It has happened so many times.

            Apart from you very ignorant take:

            Who do you think makes revolutions turn violent? The revolutionaries, or the people trying to stop them?

          One example of the top of my head: the collapse of the USSR.
