Technically my number is not 0. And the police really only protect the small percentage of people in this world that deserve the guillotine. So, in a way they're right about that one. Just not in the way they think they are.

I understand the guillotine comments. Let me you ask you this if I was magic and offered you a choice

You could execute these people and it would be legal

Or you could change the things they did.

Which would you prefer?

Depends on what you mean by "change things they did".

If that was the case they wouldn't be those people anymore.

Capitalism isnt failing because of some moral failure of the wealthy. It's failing because of its contradictions.

The guillotine is simply a symbol of revolution. Revolution does not require violence if the ruling class gives up it's power. But, historically, they never have. And the Capitalist class will not either. So violence is necessary in response to the state structures of violence.

So, I guess my point is that I'm not saying I want to kill capitalist. But, historically, the ruling class does not want to give up their class position and so violence is required to destroy the structures that uphold their class position.
