The only way to get something done is to frame it in such a way that rich people will get richer and poor people won't have to give up on anything. Anything else is doomed to fail.
- ath3nd 3y agoAnother way, that's proved to work in the past, is to gather the poor people and take power from the rich by force. The rich and powerful (kings and royalty in the past, oligarchs, politicians and CEOs now) have always tried to entrench themselves in their castles, passing laws to crash dissent, etc. It never worked. Too bad this time, before the masses wake up and raise their fists, the planet will be trashed to oblivion, for the mass is misinformed, disinterested, out of shape, and very very misguided (antivaxers, chemtrails, and who knows what bs else). Still, when there is no food in the stores, and no work (taken by AI or cheaper labor from abroad), and the water and air give you cancer, they are bound to wake up and rage.
- exe34 3y ago> power from the rich by force. And how did that go in the Russian/Chinese cases? You end up with a new ruling class, often more ruthless than the previous, because instead of inheriting the power, they are the sort who dared to take it and are willing to hold on to it at any cost. Same shit, different asshole.
- ath3nd 3y agoYes, but for a brief and beautiful moment, the rich and powerful lose their power, and the people are united. We just have to make that moment last longer.
