> but I don't think there's much evidence that people generally support murdering executives as a productive theory of change. "eat the rich" has been a slogan for at least ten years now. and it doesn't come from nowhere. When I was in university people from various communists group would often come to try and get youngsters interested into the various topics of communism. I went to listen to what they had to say one afternoon. They were open, clear and unambiguous about the fact they had arms (rifles and stuff) and were waiting for any kind of serious trouble in order to try and take over, via lethal force if necessary, in order to establish a communist regime, killing anybody that would get in their way. Those are their words, not mine. They were also open in not acknowledging the state or the european union, or anything different from a communist regime. This was "lotta comunista" in Milan (Italy) circa 2012 or 2013. The US was their daemon (of course) and you can imagine how well inclined they could be towards CEOs. So... Yeah, there's lot of general support in murdering executives, particularly in the extreme left factions.
