    Having studied history, I am increasingly convinced that nothing brings about violent revolution like an incompetent ruling class mismanaging difficult times. Revolutions are also pretty unpleasant things through which to live though, so hopefully the times will get easier or the ruling classes more competent.

      There are fewer ultra rich that need killing though, so it should be easier and quicker this time around, right?

        I seriously doubt any revolution against capitalism would stop at just the ultra rich, but modern technology would make the killings very fast so that’s either very good or bad depending on how you look at it.

      I really wish the ruling class lived closer to where I do. I have my pitchfork ready, but no real target or way to get there. In the good ol’ days (whenever that was) the owners lived in the same basic area as the workers.
