    We really need to not stab our neighbors, anyway. CEOs, however.

      Whacking a CEO doesn’t do shit. They just install a new one and divert more funding to the police state.

        One. Sure. 100? 500? Maybe not.

          At that point, just organize a revolution like has already been done, nobody has assassinated a revolution into success.

          Funny enough, this exact conversation was had a long time ago, Lenin and the Bolsheviks advocated organizing the working class and reading theory, while the Socialist Revolutionaries advocated abandoning theory (believing it to cause more conflict among comrades than unity) and advocated assassinations. Ultimately, the Bolsheviks ended up being correct, which is why I think we can learn a lot from our predecessors in analyzing how our own conditions are similar and different in coming up with a strategy that works for us.
