This is highly offtopic flamebait that will trigger a protracted argument of little substance.

Further, how you’ve casually slipped into a debate about capital punishment for enormous swathes of population is disturbing and disgusting. This is the lack of self awareness that others have mentioned here.

Clearly you missed the “or”? Or is the choice to redistribute resources (rather than having billionaires like Bezos accumulating wealth by theft) odious to you on the merits? I don’t mind if Bezos were to turn Amazon into a worker-collective, for instance, rather than accumulate wealth extracted from his workers. Indeed, I would prefer this outcome (and it is in fact the original Marxist approach - the dialectical aufhebung of capitalism into communism).

Here is your proof of brigading. Off topic comments massively upvoted by hexbear users. They just can't help themselves.

I personally wouldn’t call this brigading per se but I stand by it as evidence of the eagerness to derail things into wildly offtopic discussions that poison the well for everyone else. And no, just because someone says something first doesn’t mean you are compelled to respond until they concede or give up.
After more reading elsewhere, it also speaks to an all too comfortable relationship with political violence. “I’m not saying we put people up against the wall… But if we did, who would go first? The bankers or the factory owners?” The offtopic bit is destructive to community building but the absolute fascination of who dies for what reason is pretty damned concerning.
