the rich are the only dangerous minority
Bring back sumptuary laws!
So no
only if you don’t believe in guillotines.
Can Earth Support a Human Future? Maybe, If the Rich

Given their diet. Pretty sure that would increase methane production.
Socialism is the only answer.
we need to consume the rich. There’s no other way
Instead of waiting for them to break their 400th consecutive pinky promise to consume less, how about No More Rich?
Time to reset the initial conditions, and this time, make sure there are safeguards to prevent this level of inequality happening again.
I reckon Earth probably can support an ant future for quite a bit longer than apes.
The Earth only can survive with Humans with Humanity, it’s not only the rich, it’s ignorance, stupidity, fanatism and greed the problem. It’s all the stupid people which vote for those which give power to the rich (MAGA rednecks, fascists, flat earther, anti-vax, influencers “Climate change is a Hoax”, buyed media fom these people with fake news, etc.).
The bottom line is not that someone is rich, but what he do with the wealth and how he earned it…
Voting for Democrats is also voting for those that give power to the rich. But this must be looked at in the larger context of the U.S. political system, which shows that it’s not a problem of voters but of the essence of the state itself.
All of the issues in your analysis were explained over a century ago: https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1917/staterev/
Yes US is different, because it isn’t a real Democracy, with 2 Partys, one conservative neoliberal and other extreme right wing christo-fascists.

Clearly you weren’t talking ab the U.S. or implying the legitimacy of U.S. democracy.
Society developed the tools to manipulate humans based on common errs we make, and so of course the logical end-point is the continued control of those already in power. We’ve also deprived the vast majority of people from the tools for counteracting common mistakes, behind paywalls, time theft, and esoteric elitist language. By this, we’ve kept the means of inoculating ourselves against control out of reach.
The rich directly define how this world by who they lobby, what charities they fund or deprive, and what they make their news outlets pedal. They are the reason for ignorance, stupidity, and fanaticism.
First we must educate others in order to inoculate them. Then we must organize to wrench our power back to ourselves and away from the elite.
“No”, then.
Can Earth support a human future? Maybe, if we kill more rich people.
Well thats an interesting idea: how many more people can the earth support for each billionaire
You have to redistribute that wealth with socialism, killing the people who currently possess it will just create new billionaires, it won’t solve the problem.
You can have redistribution without socialism. There was a modest amount of redistribution even under Eisenhower.
