This doesn’t really add anything to the conversation. I, and I assume anyone here interacting with this content, know that things don’t just change based on Internet conversations. So… What’s your point? Are you offering levers to pull within legal boundaries? Or are you just stating “we need to change society by changing society or we’ll never change society!”, cause again I don’t think that’s useful.
As I already said, the working class needs to overthrow the state and replace it with a working class state. This is accomplished through organizing, such as what the Party for Socialism and Liberation is already doing quite effectively. The reason I take issue with OP’s measures and methods is because they focus on working within the existing system, and appealing to the lowest denominator of the megawealthy as though their financial power can topple the .1%. In reality, the working class has far more power, and the will to carry it through, and that power is through force of numbers and effective organization.
